So in my opinion, I his channel has been probably one of the greatest additions to KZread. It literally has a place in my every day life and has made my want for instruments magnify by 1,000 times. My wife doesn’t appreciate the channel as much lol.

Thanks to both of you guys, J.P is one of my favorite guitarist ever and John you held your own, don't short yourself. Keep on smiling.

Holy shit. JP and Acoustic Shoppe?! My favorite channels. Probably 75% of what I watch is you guys.

Did Collings introduce a new voicing/bracing for tops at the Summit for D and OM models? They talk about that at the end of the video but I'm not seeing anything on the Collings website. Or maybe they're referring to the different voicing that the traditional models have?

ACOUSTIC GUITAR'S HEAVEN!!!!!! For me, a poor guy, I'l never have the chance to have one of them.... but JP helped me to buy an affordable one (Epiphone Excellente) Thanks a lot !!! Acoustic Shoppe and JP Cormier.... my favorite KZread Acoustic guitar channels!!!! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to hear these masterpieces!!! Beyond the guitars they mentioned, I also loved the Jumbo style Martin....and Thompsons too... Greetings from Greece from a 65 y.o. "youngster"!!!! 🙂

Neither one of you guys are normal! 🙂 That was some super playing....what a great video!...and you guys are having as much fun playing as we are listening.

Watching this for about the 30th time right now, and what's really standing out to me at the moment is how great of a rhythm guitar player John is. We all know he's a great lead player, but he's just as good at rhythm.

The only thing J.P. Is better at than playing the guitar is being an awesome all around human being. His live show on Wednesday nights (String Theory ) has literally changed my life for the better. So glad you guys listened to me and checked out his show. Amazing playing to both of you !

Two of my favorite channels merging together for an awesome video! You guys looked like you had a blast making this!

Watching you two talented guys playing the Yamaha FG9 just made up my mind 100% on buying it. 👍💙. There is one( on order) coming in here shortly, and I'm "impatiently" waiting for that phone call.

How did you get on ? I just ordered a rosewood one that was black Friday'd. I love Yamaha guitars, couldnt decide between the hog or rosewood, but went for the R eventually. Seems to me that the FG9 was the best bang for buck guitar they played

Wow! I was wondering if we were going to get to hear the grey Santa Cruz that's 10 billion years old, or however old it is 😄Thank you guys for showing all of us these incredible instruments. Especially love that 12-fret Collings! Love the channel.

Thank you for going the distance and visiting nearly every major maker that was displaying!!! I loved all of them but have to say that it did my heart good to see you two with a Huss & Dalton CM and their dread! I have owned a 12 Fret, slotted peg head CM for the last ten years and love it dearly as well as a couple of their 00's! Thank you for being brave enough to invite and play with JP! What a wonderful video!!!

I agree love to see more 12 fret 000 and 0000’s in this world. You guys should do a record together. What a blast watching you both!

Smoked a few cigarettes with JP out the back door of the Harrison Memorial Hall back in the day... a gentleman and joyfull player. One of the best musicians I've met in the 1000 plus concerts I've worked.

Awesome video JP is a straight up beast ,John is also an awesome player I’d love to have a Cobain Martin 🇨🇦😁👍 love the content from both channels

Yes 12 fret 000 with slotted headstock is my favourite style of guitar. Big enough sound but the bass doesn’t overwhelm the trebles. So versatile fingerstyle or flatpicking and they just look elegant.

Great pickin' guys! You ought to cut an album together and call it "Pickers Supreme". You guys have an amazing chemistry and feel, knowing where the other is going to go. Bravo!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Killer job. You guys really know how to get a sound out of a guitar, wherein the love is very evident. Listening at home, I thought the Martin D-18 with the inked top had a particular cut and presence that was particularly noteworthy, and just seemed to come across my speakers a bit more than the other guitars. Thank you...all of this is great fun.

I have had the FG 9 M for about 5 months. It is a fantastic guitar that is actually affordable compared to many of the guitars in this video. Some have commented they would never buy a 4K Yamaha. In my opinion, it is a bargain and the neck is the best I have played. Try one if you have the opportunity! Thanks for this very interesting and entertaining video!

What a video!

Oh my goodness! I'm sitting here and totally enthralled by you both playing them guitars!! My favorites: Martin Maple Jumbo, Yamaha's are killers and Huss & Dalton looks! Here in Los Ángeles California...no one plays like you guys!! Love it,!!

Great video, Great sounding Guitars, Great flat pickers

I really enjoyed this video. Like both of you and many of the viewers, I've owned a bunch of guitars...(I'm a bass player by trade, go figure). Been trying to figure out what is going to be my last forever guitar. This video has helped me narrow down the list. Cheers to both of you!

I wanna see yall pick together a lot more often!!! Just fabulous! The Thompson room is where I would set up camp! I could never afford to purchase one but.... Jus sayin'!

Some of my favorite things about John. Hes a awesome picker and laughs histericaly. JP is a monster guitarist. He always blows my mind. Many great guitars. That first one, id never heard of, but was exceptional in JP's hands. As well as all you guys played.

You guys really put a smile on my face that you couldn’t slap off. I’ve gotta get your blue grass kinda style down. I love it. I also love your reviews. 👍🏼

You made me happy when JP picked the Yamaha as his top pic. WOW, what a great guitar! Fantastic picking boys!!!

Wowsers i loved those impromptu jams

Geez-Louise, awesome picking on fantabulous guitars

My ears are in ecstasy and I don't think the drug store got any remedies for it lol. Amazing guitars guys! So many talented builders. Hard to choose from.

JP and JC! The best!

Wow...did you notice that Martin wasn't mentioned in the closing reviews...at all. I'm a *Collings* Guy these days, and all my vintage Martins and Gibsons stay in their case. I could have chosen anything for my last flat-top.. And am just thrilled with my CJSB! BTW...NOBODY does 'sunburst' like Collings. Play On...

That was a TON of fun ... Can't believe you didn't mention the Bourgeois Guitars as a favorite. Although the ones you did mention were VERY good .. My first guitar was a Yamaha, and it really sounded good. I love the sound of the FG9. Most fun i've had in 30 minutes or less prior to Dominoes ...

JP, I'm impressed that your favourite dreadnought was just a few hundred more than an HD28. Greetings from Halifax

Ok... I thought I was good to go with JP's channel and Flat Pick Nation with Patrik Lundgren. Guitar heaven!. But it looks like I'll have to subscribe to one more channel....The Acoustic Shoppe. You guys were incredible. I'd love to see more collaboration between you two...the chemistry is definitely there! I'm currently playing a Yamaha FS5....(influenced by JP).... but if they come out with an FS9 (in rosewood) this is gonna hurt (financially). Thanks for the tour b'ys !!!

Ok Huss n Dalton kills too !!!! :D amazing

The first Santa Cruz was a cut above in the quality of sound, to my ear. It looked a bit weird, but the sound was rich. It differentiated itself from the others.

“String Theory “ is J.P.’s live Wednesday night show @ 6:00 pm est check it out, join the family. It’s an hour(ish) of guitar talk. Best hour of the week.

Grreat video! Funny interactions and fantastic guitars! Can someone tell me what they are playing in the martin room? I'd like to learn that piece. It sounds like it may have a celtic influence.

Yamaha always adds extra compensation angle at the saddle, thus, angling back the low E more than most other makers. Just look at their saddle angle compared to most of the other hand mades. Yamaha has always done this on all their acoustics. What that does is 2-fold; Besides giving their guitars better intonation out the gate, when a Yamaha guitar ages and the top naturally flexes a bit along with the common neck joint shifting, the saddle usually needs to be lowered just to maintain the action. Well, due to this sever factory compensation, the intonation for the lower strings stays great, whereas other maker's guitars suffer from a low E that's usually ends up quite sharp at the 12th as it ages. Never mind that you can also compensate the saddle by hand as well. Not sure if this sever angle was chosen on purpose in the early days of Yammy steel strings or it was just dumb luck, and they went with it. Either way.... it's awesome and other makers could learn from this.

Great playing!!!! My two favorite channels in one!!! Btw, do you know if/when Yamaha will release a "FS9"?

Collings across the lineup - good grief. They all just do it for my ears. That being said, Yamaha are doing something right with the FG series.

in conclusion, all of them was :D
