If you could only keep two of these guitars, which would you keep?

I agree with KennD…...D then B.

D then A (just to be different).

When is the reveal?

When is the reveal?
A - Yamaha FG441S from the 90s. Plays great but has a very narrow frequency range.
B - Yamaha FG720S in mint condition
C - Yamaha FG720S that has been to hell and back and probably has a loose brace or two. Sounds very different from the mint 720. Not sure how much of that is due to the loose brace(s).
D - Yamaha FG830
B, then D, because C sounds nearby B. ;)

WOW! ..."D" is having a "perfect game" so far.

I get that as I had a couple of Yamahas from the 800 series...amazing instruments for the money.

I heard @guitarman2 (a VERY accomplished player BTW) play one here at Sherwood Music a few years back and I clearly remember him indicating that he was impressed (given the price of the guitar).

They all sound fairly similar but D sounds like the best recording.

In no particular order B and D were easily the best sounding in those clips.

All the clips were recorded at the same time with the same mic (Shure 57) and same everything.
