So… I ordered one. The feel of this thing is matched by nothing. I’m in love with it. I also have a Martin D28. I love the warmth and rich boom of the Martin, but the Redondo has a much faster neck, and cuts well in the studio. I actually prefer it all the way around.
Servus, Das die Fendergitarre laminiert sei, stimmt so nicht. Dieses Instrument ist auch am Boden und den Zargen aus Massivholz. Wie sie das bei einem Preis von 350€ hinkriegen weiß ich nicht, ich glaube aber auch, dass es soundmäßig kein Vergleich zur Martin ist
I own a DRS2 (bought used for an absolute steal) and played the DX Cash in store. Main thing I noticed was (as you mentioned) volume, but also sustain. My DRS2 just rings like a bell. Is that something you notice, or did I simply play a dead DX?
This video explains the difference in sounds in a clear way. Thank you very much. As I am just starting out on my guitar journey, the less expensive Redondo makes sense. I can always upgrade later.
Big difference in sound of course. But at the end of the day, when we gig, all that matters to the people listening is that the performance sounds good. Most of the listeners don't know how to differentiate acoustic tones from a Solid wood vs laminated ones.
I do like the ‘roundness’ of the Martin - but I think the Fender has an often-overlooked attribute - it’s sound can cut through other guitars and make itself known without becoming part of the ‘wall-of-sound’ - and once you’re going through an amp - then anything’s possible.
@@andyacoustic9959 I'm planning on retiring with a new guitar - and the Redondo (and the D'Angelico Bowery) are on my shortlist; I actually like the sound of a dreadnought body with ball-end classicals for playing Jazz and Blues - and once I'm plugged into my new amp, I can EQ it to sound right for the session - especially when I've got the multi-effects plugged in as well. But - my electrics are strats (including a 1977 I've had since new) and that Redondo is just pulling really hard on my heart... there's something real special about a strat neck!
Hey man, many thanks for this complete demo and compare with Martin, i will buy thé Redondo now because your vidéo show me all what i need ! Thks, cheers from france
750€ is not an acceptable price for an all plastic guitar imo ! Played that CASH guitar and, if i didn't know any better i would have said it was a very well made chinese copy, it even had a gap where the body meets the neck. The D-10E on the other hand was better in every aspect, except for the price ... 1100€ ...
To me they both sound very similar. I'm using good quality headphones to listen with. The solid wood one sounds maybe a tad louder but that's all. You really get the classic Martin sound either way you go.
i study to sound engineer back in days and work as it a period And i dont really understand why someone like to search for a acoustic guitar with highest volume when you use mic preamps and front of house If you need acoustic high volume guitar let it stay acustic and play it in acoutic venues cuse its not a advantage when you use preamps and front of house speakers I can garante that the Johnny Casch model would sound as the best i that type of venues.
Listen this: Martin dx2 new models are the best sound and pro guitars to make gigs,every day wins a better sweet sound. Martin drs1 us ok also but 400 s more... No good price for less money, before drs1 . Buy dx2 always with solid top only, this black is beauty but no sound.
Haven’t played a DX with solid top yet; but I could imagine it could be a perfect balance between sound and robustness. [As long as you don’t mind plastic wood 😉]
Many thank's to you, it's pretty hard to find review like this in the same set up, and it make me feel confortly on my opinion to buy a Martin's sign Johnny Cash. I was bit afraid of HPL but it really feel like it got a soul in it. Keep up great work !
Nice! I compared the CASH to the G45. I bought another CASH, because I’ve lost 60% of my hearing. The DX CASH allows me to sing and hear it. And it’s smooth. Very smooth compared to a wood guitar. Nice review.
