First time hearing a Martin [in person] was an “oh sh!t” moment for me. Very first chord on a D-28 filled the entire room with so much balance and clarity… I’m a teacher, so it will be a longgggg time before that guitar finds its way in my budget. But I will have one before I die. For sure, D-28 is now my number one dream guitar.

@jfar3340 Год назад

try out the HD28 and D35 too if you havent done it yet.

@wheninroamful Год назад

The new Satin D28's are about $400 cheaper. Also, many places have payment plans. I just got my first Martin, it was $2000 and i pay $100 a month for two years approx. You can do it. Also, once you get an amazing high quality instrument, you play it more, cuz it's that much more enjoyable.

@ellenrik Год назад

I have an OM28 and just love it but honestly any solid wood guitar should be checked out and played, Martins are great but there are others too. Don't get stuck on the name. Take the advice from someone who's been playing for the last 45 years. Happy hunting!

@tinongtravels7182 Год назад

Try the D18, had the opportunity to buy one for myself, had to choose between that and the D28, went home with the D18, just records way better IMO

@jfar3340 Год назад

@@tinongtravels7182 D18 is better than the D28 for sure. I prefer the HD28 for its ''reverb like'' character (scalloped braces), but it's more scooped than the D18, which is more middy and more woody dare I say b/c of the mahogany. Anyway cant go wrong with these dreadnoughts.

@bless8874 Год назад

I went into a store thinking I was going to leave with a Taylor. But the Martin 000Jr (10E) felt amazing in my hands and it had such a rich sound for a small guitar. It's amazing

@dennisv1358 11 месяцев назад

I feel the same about my Dreadnought Jr.

@filipjedlicka8573 Год назад

I own the sc-13e special and I just love every minute with that guitar, it just inspires you to pick it up and after playing it you realize that most other acoustics feel super wide in the neck, but that is all about personal preference.

@jimmextorf7785 Год назад

Great video. I have a D-17 and a SC-13e in my collection. I'm more of a strummer/rhythm player than a lead player, but both of my Martins can handle all different styles. There is definitely an "IT" factor when it comes to Martin guitars. Hard to put into words but easy to put in your hands. Keep the videos coming. Always enjoy watching.

@ronuyeyama4020 Год назад

Great video. I have d15, d18 reimagined and a d28. I really like the d18 with the scolloped braces. The 28 doesn’t get much playing time. I just played a 1941 d18 and it was like no other guitar I played, it was stellar.

@johnhayes1641 Год назад

I bought my D-28 in college and it's still my workhorse. Nothing sounds quite like it. Love your playing! This has been a great video to watch.

@jerrymorgan1752 Год назад

Love the sound of the 10k one. With age comes wisdom and in some cases being able to afford the guitars we sometimes desire. I think of it as a nice separate 401k plan that when I leave this world my loved ones can enjoy them or release them back into the used market. Keep up the good videos. I truly appreciate them.

@JonathanPounders-yn8eq 9 месяцев назад

I just purchased my first Martin, it’s the SC-13e special. I had my first lesson Wednesday and I’m completely in love with and so proud of it.

@analogdad9235 Год назад

I bought my dad a D-41 for his 70th birthday. His first ever, and now I am hooked on wanting one next. The family history is a plus, as was meeting Chris Martin (former CEO of the company) in person recently. Much more than just a guitar, more like a lifelong piece of history and art.

@WendelltheSongwriter 7 месяцев назад

That's my dream martin, are you sure I'm not your dad?😂

@ed_music1834 Год назад

I envy you being in that room with all the Martin guitars. I have a 15SM and the 15M that you demoed. I particularly like the sound of Mahogany as its dry and woody especially when picked aggresively. It's great for recording too. Would wanna try that 0-18 parlor. Looks and sounds great.

@DavidCarterVideos Год назад

I recently purchased a Martin 000-42. Such a sweet sound and effortless to play. I totally get why they hold so much magic for players. I love all my guitars but, if I could only keep one, there just wouldn't be any contest, it would be my Martin.

@grahamnunn8998 Год назад

Growing up a Neil Young fan, a Martin is just THE acoustic sound.

@grahamnunn8998 Год назад

BTW great video, love your humour. As a teacher, love your playing. Feel is one thing that is very hard to teach.

@Andrew-ch9kc Год назад

The dream Martin I now own is a Martin D-17 Gloss Top mahogany that they stopped making in the early 2000s (not the new D-17s with the stained spruce or shark). The only gloss top and binding Martin mahogany series ever made. It's super warm with a bright shine, and I love it so much! When you're playing it, it sounds super boomy and massive, but as soon as you back away a bit it turns into this really balanced sound. That allows it to fit into a mix without being too muddy, but still have that massive feel. Gotta love that Martin sound!

@lscossar Год назад

I own a Martin D-28 and I consider it my dream guitar. No matter how I'm playing it never lets me down. If something sounds less than good or great it's definitely not the guitar's fault. Mine is one of the Reimagined models from 2018. If you look up the artists through the years who have played a D-28 the list goes on and on. It's one of the most iconic models in the history of Martin guitars. Thanks for the interesting video.

@k5vfo Год назад

Yes I bought the HD-28 with LR Baggs Anthem from Sweetwater, It is my church guitar because it always sounds so good. It has the forward shifted bracing and the open gear tuners.

@anneberkeley7411 7 месяцев назад

"It's one of the most iconic models in the history of Martin guitars"? The history of ALL guitars.

@afterstars 5 месяцев назад

I’d recommend a D-18 with scalloped braces. That’s the more recorded guitar of all time

@Eeuwit Год назад

I own a Martin LX1E, also known as the "Little Martin". It doesn't sound as great as its bigger bothers, but the size makes it perfect for travel. I have played it in so many places where I'd never have taken a full size guitar.

@alexwilson7598 Год назад

Hey! Loving the videos so thank you for your work! I’m curious if you’ve played Reverend guitars? They are amazing quality and I’d love to see more content on them, especially comparing them to fenders, Gibsons, and Gretch’s. I have a charger 290 that I love.

@AllThingsSpring Год назад

HD-28. Tried out five different ones and the one I got was the best of them all. Love it.

@IP_Static Год назад

My first and only Martin is the D15m that I just received earlier this year. My hope is to get a D28 or OM28 one day but for now the D15m just floors me every day. I love it.

Duuude!! What a dream of guitars🤘🤘🤘🤘 Keep it up bro 💪

@MelvinHughesatp Год назад

A long, long time ago (1966) I owned a D-28. It was a fine instrument. Several years later I found a D-41 that was a good guitar as well. But over the years I've migrated to smaller instruments and other makers. I'm really satisfied and playing my dream instruments with the Huss & Dalton 00 and CM models I own now.

@IRequireMedication 11 месяцев назад

If I may ask, how much did the D-28 cost in 1966?

@ralphhharmasss Год назад

@RonBaker456 Год назад

Thanks for the vid. Love the SC13. I bought a D41 Ambertone from Sweetwater in March of this year at 53 after years of saving up for it. I've played various acoustic cutaways live over the last 30 years or so just plugged in with Piezo pickups. I bought a Fishman Aura box a few years ago and that helped but nothing sounds as great as a well mic'd high-end Martin in a live setting for a one man acoustic act. It has changed my whole stage setup and I shed several pedals and now just use two mics on one stand, and I also now sit to perform so I can mic that gorgeous guitar to give the instrument and the fine folks at Martin guitars their proper due. In the 25 years of performing prior I always stood to play but this is one guitar worth sitting down for and is by far the nicest instrument I've ever played or owned.

@rosewoodsteel6656 Год назад

I have been drawn to the sound of D-18's the last few years. They have a nice, clear sound to me and no muddiness.

@whizii Год назад

I've been playing my DC-16 GTE for almost 20 years now. It is by far, the best sounding, feeling acoustic I have ever played. It is very sensitive to humidity changes so it needs a lot of attention in February and August in New England - but it's totally worth it. Great video. I've gotta say, I'm kinda jealous of you!

@markmartin3221 Год назад

Nice Posting, first time I heard a D35 (1976) played that was it! I own two GCPA4R and a 00015SM so that’s all I own but in 2003 I found a 1937 Flattop that was amazing. Played an O18 I believe, little parlor all Koa and it had tone that only Angels can make. Enjoyed, thanks

Not because you’re a guitar virtuoso and showing off your skills but because you seem like a normal dude that’s showing everyone if you want you can pick up the guitar, make music and have fun!! You are obviously talented I’m just saying it means more to me than just someone showing off how good they are!! Rock on!!

@thomasmorgan7944 Год назад

I have two acoustics. A martin dreadnought and a Taylor gs mini in mahogany. The Martin was one that my father purchased over twenty years ago and sounds so cool. Has the older appearance and the sound is very unique.

@2thumbsdown Год назад

Great video! I love the smell of Martin guitars. That looks like it was fun.

@chuckwall107 Год назад

I enjoyed this so much! I'm a Martin guy through and through. I own 4: D-35, JC-16ME, 000C-15E, 000-28 Reimagined Series. They all have their own voice but are all distinctly Martin. I didn't really understand this until I had owned one for a while, then I noticed that when I played another guitar, even beautiful sounding instruments, they didn't scratch the itch of the sound I wanted out of a guitar. That is not to knock any other guitar maker, just my personal preference. Thanks for sharing this video!

@deusexmachina211 Год назад

I got the now discontinued Martin OMC 16E burst, ovangkol. I wanted something unique that sounded and felt good in my hands. I played a lot of martins that day and nothing quite fit my hands and sing like that one. The cutaway definitely suits my play style too and I barely noticed any differences in tone as a result. Looking forward to playing it for years to come.

@LoriGraceAz Год назад

Dude that was way cool. My first Martin was a DC16GT-R and that Indian Rosewood back and sides really makes it sing. Still own it after 15 years. Before he died my dad gave me his D-17 which is aged and sounds so beautifully warm. I bought my daughter a sub $1,000 Martin where they're using some compressed woods and it still sings. Now I rounded out my collection with a Taylor 814CE which is just an insane dream. That one seems to bring the best of Martin and Taylor sounds together. But I won't ever sell any of them b/c they all have their place. Great video and you're way talented on the fret board!

@Randorita Год назад

I spent over an hour in Martin’s picking parlor at the factory, playing all the models they had on display, including a left-handed one. There were only 20 or so, no where near all of the current models. The factory tour is well worth the trip, if you are a Martin fan. I have an HD-28V, D-18E Retro, DM, and an OM-18 Authentic 1933. The OM is pretty much my dream guitar. It is a beautiful guitar and sounds great. I would run into a burning building to save this one! Nice video!

@paulharris8364 Год назад

My dream guitar was an OM42 Paul Simon signature. Can't justify the money for the way I play but I have a older 1DCE and it still has that Martin sound.

@BrianHoffpauer 9 месяцев назад

Great video! I have a D-18 that I love and purchased the SC-13E as a backup, but sent it back after trying out a Gibson J-45 at a local shop. They sound different, but I consider both of them my workhorses. For special shows, I break out the SJ-200. :)

I have owned several nice Martins and currently have had my dream Martin guitars for a few years now. They are expensive but worth every cent. Both 6 and 12 string. I sold a few others on along the way as I worked my way up with some good guitar trades. Previously had a D16e and 000M. Good but not the full house Martin sound like my D35 and the D12-28. #3 is an OMC16e Ovankol with Fishman Matrix electronics for playing out. The Ovankol has alot of midrange punch while maintaining the bass and crisp highs Martin is known for. Something about the upper end Martins that just feel good in the hand and please the ear like no other. Any of the 15 series or above fit the bill for me.

@mattmatthews3909 Год назад

I’ve had at least 15 different models but now just my favorite two. 1. Martin M-36 from 2012. Best sounding I’ve ever owned .. love the sound of rosewood back and sides. 2. Martin 000-17E Black Smoke from ‘16. Absolutely love the look and feel and play it almost every day. Not the best sounding but my favorite to pick up and play.

@paulheartsongs Год назад

M-36 was the studio players go-to in the 70s and 80s. Great balance and recorded beautifully.

@DaveSwart 10 месяцев назад

So funny you mention the M-36. I picked one up (never even heard of it before then) at a local shop and my heart sunk because I had dropped some serious cash on an OM-28 Modern Deluxe months earlier. I love it but I probably loved the M-36 more. The neck literally just melted into my hand. While I was playing it I noticed another guy, in my space we'll say? lol. I had a hunch he wasn't there admiring my playing. I had to leave the shop to get my kids - called the next morning to inquire and Mr. In My Space (I can only assume) bought it. Someday! Enjoy brother!

@rmyAddison 10 месяцев назад

Enjoy your Martin journey, mine started in the '60s. My lifetime favorites, retirement guitars; OM-18 Authentic (Adirondack 0ver Mahogany), Custom Shop OM-28 (Alpine over Madagascar), Custom Shop 00-42 (Adirondack over Madagascar) and the "Lady" 2005 OM-45 (curly Engelmann over flamed Tasmanian Blackwood, alternate torch, carved gold tuners). An old man's reflection, try different body sizes and tone woods, enjoy Martin's variety !!!

@jimmythefish Год назад

In 2008 I got my first job after grad school and I had always wanted a Gibson J-45. I was playing an ancient Epiphone at the time and I decided to treat myself. I could never find a J-45 I liked and the salesman in the shop gave me a D28 to try. It was perfect, bought it the next day. Still have it, never selling. If I were to get another Martin it would be that 000-15M. My dream guitar would be the 1937 D28 Authentic I suppose.

@willman43 3 месяца назад

After reading a whole bunch of great reviews and how many people love the Martin 000-15m I went and played one yesterday, didn’t love it. The Martin D-28 blew my doors off. I also tried Martin 18 and 16E they were just ok.

@countstoneula Год назад

I've got the SC-13E with the Spruce/Koa body and I absolutely love it! I can learn and practice electric guitar parts unplugged on the couch and used it a lot like it's my electric guitar. It's also the perfect acoustic guitar for an electric player accompanying another guitarist at an unplugged type gig. Every time I gig with it someone compliments me on how incredible the guitar sounds and asks me about it. I found myself needing a solid gig worthy acoustic and for so long I wanted the 000-15M because of Frusciante - I was saving up for it when the SC-13E was released and once I tried it out I was immediately impressed. It's not a 000-15M but I have no regrets. The offset looks a little funny if you stand it up vertically, but as soon as you pick it up to play the offset shape almost disappears. Great video Mike, I love how you shared the personal stories of when you first saw each model.

@pjnguyen90 Год назад

I switched from a J-45 to a Martin 000 28 and have been incredibly happy with the move. I purchased both guitars from Guitar Center’s used selection. I highly recommend browsing their used inventory online. I think their employees don’t always know what they have and under price the product occasionally. I super pleased with both purchases and was given a little more assurance with their 45 day return policy.

Great video Mike! I've had a 000-15sm for almost a year. It's the mahogany 12-fret. It's a really beautiful guitar, and I've noticed that the sound is getting better as I play it. I was actually so in love with the look of the guitar, that knowing it didn't sound perfect (for my first Martin), I bought it anyway. I'm happy I did because it's filling out beautifully. I keep it on my wall opposite my speakers so its bell is getting rung even if I'm not playing it. Thanks for the videos!

Great impromptu video. I have a couple of Martins myself. A ‘96 DM which is nothing spectacular, but it was my first and I STILL love it and play it quite often. A few years ago I FINALLY got my bucket list acoustic. The almighty HD28. It still smells like a cabinet shop every time I open the case. This thing is a cannon and it never ceases to amaze me that that kind of sound can come out of a wood box with strings on it. Although I love all guitars, there’s just some kind of magical “oomph” that only comes from a Martin.

I’m not a guitarist but both my wife and son are. She has a 1989 J-40 rosewood that has Martin low end for days. Plays it all the time as a worship leader. She just gave her 1971 000-18 to our son to use in his Nashville recording studio. She bought it new for $300 in 1972. He has an all mahogany 00-15. We just saw a gorgeous GPCe-28 with Baggs Anthem in a shop near us and we’re deeply tempted by her “next” dream guitar. . . but $3300 short on cash. Definitely a Martin family.

Have an OM-28. It's my dream Martin. Started with a D-16RGT, and that's a great guitar, but eventually sold it. The OM-28 is just special.

@anonymohipp9097 Год назад

Thanks Mike. That was fun! Thinking about buying a Martin. The hard part is which one.

@raceface_m2579 Год назад

Great choice! Man, that different shaped Martin sounded great!

@bricktop201 Год назад

I’ve wanted a 000-15 for many many years, I’m so glad I finally got one....

Dude. I freakin love your videos

Thank you.. you’re a great player. I own a 000-16 SGT. It was a budget compromise from the Eric Clapton model. As much as I like the Dreadnaughts, they’re just a bit too big for casual playing around the house.

Mike I have an HD 28 and I play in a cover band in which I have to switch often between electric and acoustic. When I discovered the SC13, I thought it would be the guitar I had always dreamed of: electric guitar neck and cutaway in a Martin package. Such a disappointment. Quality problems from the start, including the pickup..and though I tried to have it set up properly I just couldn't rationalize all the difficulties for a guitar of its caliber and cost. So back to the HD28 I went, which has been a reliable workhorse for me, though I'm not sure it's worth the retail cost of almost $3,000, especially considering some of the great boutique guitars out there. I'd be curious to know what you thought of it, and anyone else out there who has played one. Was I just unlucky, or did Martin really take a great idea and blow it?

Thought you were a Taylor guy... I have a 71 Martin D-41 that I bought in the mid 80s from Norm's Rare Guitars. It's my dream Martin.

I liked the OMC-28e (cutoff - not currently in production) I was trying out in 2018. Smoothest playing acoustic ever. Easier for me to play than the Collings OM-2H I ultimately bought, but the Martin had slightly less sparkle and clarity.

Huge Martin guitar fan. I’ve owned an HD-28 for about 2 years now and I can still hardly put it down. It never ceases to amaze me as to how great it sounds. Absolutely no regrets despite the price tag. Also have a DJr10E and “Little” Martin for travel, and love both for the value relative to their much lower price tag. Would highly recommend any of them - but clearly the HD-28 is an absolute dream guitar for me!

Hi mick did you have your hd28 properly set up? I love my hd28 but disappointed in the high action it came with .

@mattwilliams3104 9 месяцев назад

My favorite Martin is probably John Mayers OM. Love the slightly narrow nut, the 25.5" scale length, and the tonal combo of Engellman Spruce and Rosewood.

@Lalairu Год назад

Martin sold tons of ukes when the Uke craze began in the 1920s. they built like a ton of them, and they sound amazing. I love the 15 series too, the 000 is my dream guitar. I own a Sigma copy, someday I might be able to buy the real deal xD the D41 would be another one I would love to own, but dreadnoughts are too big, despite their wonderful sound.

@maxmelchert7618 Год назад

The Martin CEO-7 is my dream guitar. I’ve played many Martins and that little guitar can do it all.

@Purple_Pixel Год назад

Your enthusiasm as a presenter is contagious. Interested in a Martin GPC 16 rosewood as an all rounder. Thoughts? I love the Taylor playability but not the high pitched sound.

@kents2908 9 месяцев назад

I have the original GPC-PA1 from 2010.It’s fantastic - has that great playability you want but with that great Martin sound. Still don’t understand why these were not one of the most popular Martins ever. Also, the greatest pickup system I have heard on any acoustic.

@padbender2972 Год назад

my fave is the OMC 16 E Burst (ovangkol)...it has opened up so much in the past 3 years and is articulate with just the right amount of natural compression for recording. real gem now discontinued

@roygaber8659 6 месяцев назад

Very nice, thanks Mike. I'm waiting on a D-13E-01 to arrive, I sold off my 3 remaining Martins and was yearning to play one again, the Acoustasonic Strat don't fit the bill.

@baileystockton7199 11 месяцев назад

I bought a d-35 last year, spent probably 20 hours at a number of local guitar stores playing every high end guitar they had. J-45, a hummingbird, d28, d18, hd-28, etc. The d-35 just sounded so amazing to me, couldn’t say no to it. It’s the best sounding guitar I’ve ever played and I’m proud to say it lives in its case beside my bed 😂

@tinemine9550 6 месяцев назад

I have found a beaten up D35 from 1973 in a vintage store in Austin that I restored, and that’s the most beautiful sounding guitar I ever played. It’s a bit capricious to play since it doesn’t have an adjustable trussrod, but maaaan…the SOUND! I named her June after Johnny Cash’s wife (who famously played a D35) 😊

@nik1954 5 месяцев назад

I've played all Martins. But the D-35 has been my favorite since 1973. Try one you'll understand.

@a-mb9373 Месяц назад

I have been wanting to try one before I buy it, but none in any of the guitar stores anywhere near me!

@WoodworkerDan Год назад

My favorite Martins: D-35 and D-18. I don't own a D-18, but I have a D-35 that was made in the 1980s (I think) and the center section of the back is Brazilian Rosewood, so it has better-than-average tone. I do not have a D-18, but I hope to get one someday.

@rosslynemrys5829 Год назад

You can email Martin with the serial #and they will send you all the info and specs on your d35

@WoodworkerDan Год назад

@@rosslynemrys5829 Thank you. I will do this.

@bobr419 4 месяца назад

I've owned about every model of dreadnought Martin, I think the best is my 1976 D-35. Plays super easy and it is a tone monster! Great for any style of music. Your right d-18 is next in line.
