Martin guitars introduced two new models to their line of Junior guitars at the 2019 Summer NAMM Show. The new Martin 000Jr-10 and 000-JR10E along with the recently revamped DJr-10 signal Martin's desire to truly compete with the Taylor GS Mini by expanding their small guitar offerings. While the Taylor GS Mini has been a perennial best seller, the new 000 sized Juniors match it with similar size, in the same price point and then sweeten the offerings with all-solid wood construction and a cutaway option. The wider nut width and 1/2" longer scale length is also likely to find some fans. With the new Dreadnought Junior already aiming for the GS Mini market will Martin's attempt to gang up on the GS Mini finally signal success? To find out how they compare to one another Chris McKee reviewed all four guitars, going over the specs of each model and playing them to determine the tonal offerings available.

I hear you. I'm there now... Tested OOO Jr vs GS mini Mahogany in a shop today, thinking I'd like Mahogany more, and was proven wrong. Hearing it live is not the same as in a video. Plus Taylor had surprisingly high action, roughly half higher on fret 12. They said in the shop that recently they seem to rush more with the minis, and require more setup. That's sad as I heard Taylor had a reputation of low action guitars with great playability out of the box.

@joepineski5562 3 года назад

I have both guitars, Martin Junior 000Jr-10 (cutway version) and Taylor GS mini Spruce top and sapele side and back version. My observations are: 1.Martin sounds warmer, bass and middle tones are deeper and not that aggressive like in Taylor 2. Taylor has super comfortable narrower than Martin neck with low action, perfect for electric guitar players (as myself) 3. Martin has black ABS binding protective plastic trim on the top edge, which is an absolutely necessary for travel guitar (IMO) (after a few trips my Taylor GS looks awful, every slight bump is visible at the top edge) 4. Martin's fingerboard is made from Richlite laminate which is better solution (IMO) for travel guitar, is easy to keep clean on your trip, is very hard, shock and water proof and sounds to me the same good as solid ebony. 4.The best travel guitar to me would be the mix of Taylor's shape neck with Martin's cutway body...:)

@Matasky2010 2 года назад

Great point about the protective edge trim- while I likely won't travel with it I DO have a dog and a 5-yr old running around the house so dings are always a concern!

@psych336 2 года назад

I have a GS Mini, love it. For me it came down to the comfort playing it. New to playing and I am a petite female 4'11" The Martin was amazing but the nut with and guitar body are just big enough to make it more difficult with my small hands and frame. Definitely try them both and pick what works for you!

@TacticalNuke321 3 года назад

They all sound great. But for some reason I prefer the sound of the GS Mini. But they all sound very similar, and the cutaway triple 0 is very compelling to me because there’s no cutaway option for the GS mini, not sure why

@brucejohansson9552 4 года назад

I own the 000CJR-10E and consider it the most enjoyable guitar I’ve played in over 60 years of strummin and owning over 50 guitars, all of them solid wood models. All big brands (except Taylor for personal reasons) + SCGC & handmade to vintage up to $5,000. What I’ve learned is you want good sound And a good time when playing. Having incredible sound but fearful of a scratch or touch etc. is head trip drag. My 000cjr is a great buddy a pal that’ll go anywhere sound great, play great do anything looks sharp, all solid Martin $550 w elec & gig bag. I’ve hot rodded mine with $5 OM pickgaurd for looks and gets rid of finger swoosh of top, rosewood John Pearse armrest gets rid of forearm damp improving volume comfort and clarity. Switched out endpin and bridge pin to tusq. Dr Duck Axe Wax to highlight gorgeous Sapele flare. Experimenting with strings but going back to Retros. Add a Silver Creek Hardshell classic size case plush green 5 latch fits fine with bit of room for gear. Makes a complete package that is simply a whole lot of Fun. Light weight, fast , easy to chord, comfortable, good looking. Nearly identical size to 018 but 24” vs 24.9”. Enough said, time to pick.

@David_Downs 10 месяцев назад

One thing id love to see people do for these tests is put the Martin strings that come on the Jrs onto the GS Mini and see how it changes the tone, and how similar they can be with the same strings. I personally love the sound of the strings they use, and am starting to use them on all acoustics.

@danbgt 5 лет назад

I think it really all boils down to personal preference. As usual. I am a GS-MINI fan. I would really like for mine to have a 1 3/4” nut but it’s not a deal breaker. I think what should be mentioned is the body construction for a travel guitar. I think the laminated body of the Taylor is a better choice for a guitar that you intend on hauling around a lot.

This would also be a great opportunity to compare cutaway vs non-cutaway versions of the same guitar. Since having a cutaway basically takes away part of the body of the guitar, it would be interesting to see what affect it has if any.

I tried various strings and last week went a different direction and bought Martin Authentic Acoustic MA130 Custom-Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings, Silk and Steel Folk. Wow is all I can say, I feel like I have the feel of just buying a new guitar. They are just the sound I have been looking for. I almost ordered a new Taylor gs mini koa plus, well I saved $1000. Love the sound and feel of my Martin. I do have A Taylor 214 ce koa, that I also love. Might try these strings on that guitar also. All great guitars cannot go wrong with any of these.

@jameshill2015 4 года назад

Somehow Martin seems to create guitars that sing the Delta blues. The tone with the scooped mids, crisp highs and soggy bottom lows does it like no ones buisness.. Seems to project a bit better than the Mini.. I prefer the more full range classic Taylor tone.. It does not exaggerate the "Taylor tone" that Taylor is known for the way the Martin does..you know by ear that the Jr or 000 are Martin. The Taylor Mini on the other hand does not carry over the tones and sound of its larger brethren and just sounds like a great guitar all around. I am more curious of what you thought of playing it.. You have a few Minis in your house..you obviously love the lil Minis but now how did it play by comparrison? How is the Martin action out of the box? Is it more natural to play? Do you prefer the Martin tones in person? If today was yhe day you were buying scaled down guitars for you and your son.. Would they still be Taylor Minis???
