Goya G-10 vs. Yamaha C40 Has anyone played both the old Goya G-10 and the new(er) Yamaha C40 and have an opinion on similarity and differences, tone quality and ease of fretting?

Never played a Yamaha C40 that I recall, but I just bought a 1958 Goya G-10 for $125.00. It's pretty haggard, but it feels and sounds great. Stays in tune well, also.

I bought my G10 in 1958. Still sounds very good. Has always been easy to play.

I don't know I just play it, there's not much info on the web but you can look for the C1 Classic to find out, is almost the same guitar with a slight differences http://www.schecterguitars.com/international/guitars/c-1-classic-detail

depends what you owned previously, I owned SR 80 previously and I went to test both of them before I bought it. my ears trained for SR 80, and when I tested SR 225i , immediately I can hear the difference, mainly in sound staging and bass when I tested SR 325i, I found my self trying so hard to find the different, there are few but not very subtle to my ear ... maybe after using SR 225i for few months / years I can feel it ! I listened to acoustic guitars (artist: Jubing Kristianto) and I love how much clarity it feels compare to SR 80 and I believe for Blues, you will definitely feel the bass, solid yet soft and far from muddy

George and John were both using Vox amps in that period. This is just my opinion, but I think the Super Champ x2 isn't that great. And the 10" speaker isn't enough to cut through in a band situation. This is just my opinion and you should by all means check this out for yourself, but I think the Fender Mustang is a better amp. The Mustang III has a ton of good models plus all effects, it will sound great in your practice room as well as with a full band. It has a 12" speaker so it has more depth and with Fender Fuse if you're handy with a computer you can download your own custom amp models. It's fairly light and is cheaper than the Super Champ. And you can find find a really good deal on a used one with a little effort. The Mustang II is a pretty good amp but the Mustang III is easier to use and at 100 watts it has plenty of power for rehearsal or gigs. I know the Mustang is not a tube amp but solid state has come a long way in the last few years. Good luck and happy picking!

The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way! No modeling amp sounds better than tube amps, especially at louder levels. The clean channel on the X2 is beautiful and being a tube amp combined with these modeling effects makes it a great amp if you want built in effects. Personally id change the speaker out to a WGS G10C and it will be instantly louder and sound better. For what it is, this is a great amp and i like it better than the Blues Jr (price is $599) which imo for the money, it blows even with the 12" speaker. No matter what amp you buy, a good speaker is key. Just having any 12" speaker doesn't make it better and the Mustang is cheaper for a reason. The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way!

Dear CTS, I checked out one of the C7's and the action as it comes from Cordoba is 2.8mm on 6th string and 2.5 mm on the first string. There is some buzzing on the 6th string at the 3rd fret if the guitar is overplayed. I normally would raise the action until this buzzing stops, but if you like that very low action, I can leave it there. The frets are level and there is the proper amount of relief in the neck, so to raise the action I would replace the saddle.Let us know if you are interested.Thanks!Daniel, Calido Guitars

dear Sir,we asked and read tons of reviews before we bought the Yamaha, which is for our son, who was 8 at that time. His piano teacher recommended better this brand, from her experience. the piano sounds great and my son enjoys playing it. hope this helps.

I got the same guitar and love it. I got the Yamaha HC-AG1 hard case. I'm very happy with it. It seems very tough and the guitar fits very snugly.

Thanks to both of you. I have about decided on the 50G10, but it will be about a month or six weeks before I move on it so it will be interesting to see what happens to the price. I just hope we don't get a rave review from CU like the Sammy A650 did, or the price will probably increase.Thanks again. lYou both helped make up my mind.

Steven L, if you read my review of this player, you should know that the other player to which I referred was the Onkyo 7030. I set them up and did an A:B comparison. With most discs, the differences were barely perceptible. On a few, the Yamaha sounded just a tiny bit "muddy" when compared to the Onkyo. My wife was unable to discern any differences. Both are excellent players. But if it helps your decision making process about getting one of these to add to your "stack," be aware that I am returning the Yamaha and getting a 2nd Onkyo.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs. I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this.

The keys are feel like plastic and are slippery. They are quite noisy when played by an accomplished pianist. The keys are not sloppy like the Casio. The DGX650 is fun to play and sounds great. The Yamaha P255 has the nice Ivory touch, precision, quiet keyboard most pianists would prefer.

Same here , I listen to smooth jazz alot. The sound quality is better for HK when compared to a YAMAHA. I own both HK 3490 and a RS700 stereo receiver from yamaha. I got both of them for a good price. But I upgraded to EMOTIVA amp now, which is so much better than these two. HK 3490 is a warm sounding amp. It depends on your liking. Both are good amps.

The only Boss unit I've tried before is the ME-70 which I personally think sounds like crap. I don't know if their recent products sound any better though,But the G5 has an amazing sound quality. The amp models, drive/overdrive stompboxes sound organic, real, and they respond as a real amp/stompbox does.You can't go wrong with this
