Martin Road Series | Everything You Need To Know (feat. Corey Congilio) 

Just ordered a d10 sitka. Best i can afford and my first Martin. Dream guitar, really.

Just ordered the GPC-11E, it’s my first Martin and I could not be more excited.

Just bought a D10E and I'm in love!

Mexicans put a lot of heart into making guitars,or anything else,they take a lot of pride in what they do I have a lot,of guitars by them,I don't care if they make a guitar pick or strings,they put a lot of heart and detail craftsmanship to what they do,have you ever or even got a Alvarez by them,superb sound,I have a baritone by them,the sound is phenomenal,I modified it just a little,..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💘💕💗🧡❤💘💖🙏💞💞🙏💖❤🧡💗💕🧡❤❤💘😍😍🧡💗❤❤😍🧡💘💖💘🥰🤔🤔🤔🥰🥰💘❤🧡💕💘💖💞

I bought the GPC-13E to use in the country band I'm -playing in. The sound , action and comfort of playing is amazing. I have tried a few different Martins over the years but they just didn't give me the "Buy Me " feeling that I got when I played this one. The tuner inside is a great feature. I love it.

D10E was favorite to my ear. I really appreciate this comparison as this is the line up I am currently considering.

Amazing explanation. Playing and demonstration. Couldn't be more detailed in anyway. Without any prompt hou managed to answer all the possible queries. Thanks a ton for this.

I take my road series Martin to gigs & on the road while my precious Martin stays home

I have the DRS1 and the DRS2. Road series really is an amazing guitar.

I've played many gigs with my D10e and it always delivers .

Went in to look at a 000-15, left with a 000-10E... half the price, Pickup, tuner... very happy with it... very comfortable, beautiful rich tone. Simply couldn't justify the €1000 extra for the 15

What a great video. I like the d10e. It sounded great. You could really hear the difference in sound. I've got a d18 that is an amazing guitar. If I had the money, I'd get me one of these guitars as well. To me it doesn't matter if the guitar is made in Mexico or in America. All I care about is the sound that I want. I'm totally blind, so the looks of the guitar don't matter to me as much. Thanks again for a great video.

Missing the 000-12e Koa and the D13 dread. I thought the video was really well done but really wanted to hear that 000-12e.

I like the tone of a dreadnought, the play ability of a cut away, and the look of s gloss top. So I chose the "Special Dreadnought Cutaway" 11e. And I got everything I wanted- amazing sound looks, and performance.

Nice but you left out the 13 Dreadnoughts, I really wanted to hear those!

Ok... ...So... When I see Corey , and also see that he's breaking down and playing Martins... SMASH that play button... 🤠👍

I just bought the GPC MARTIN MTX AT Guitar Center,I love its warmness and smoothness I'm gonna drop the strings down some more,I already dropped them down but I need that L shape Allen wrench but I'm still gonna play it until I get that wrench

Terrific overview Corey...love your style man!

I just walked over 10 miles to get me a Dreadnaught cutaway. Just plucked a Martin and I appreciate the tone. Strong volume too. At Guitar Center, I went for the 5 year pro package. I'm still trying to about the Gigbag backpack thingy with pretty blue fur inside. I'm to figure out if the material is weather resistant. I believe guitar center gave me a 14 fret version soft shell case backpack thingy. It feels comfortable on my arthritis developing body.

Thanks for the demo sir. I think I’ll give one a try. Leaning toward the GPC 11E or GPC 13E.

Nicely done. Excellent, smooth playing with a concise explanation.

I just got a D-12E a little over a month ago. It’s an amazing guitar. I was worried about the electronics but they sound great through a Fishman loudbox mini

Drinking game! Every time Corey says "nomenclature."

It would be very interesting to throw the SC-13E into the mix. It appears to be the new "top of the heap" in the Road Series.

Niiice! Beautiful pieces and cool Riffs😎🤟🏻. Those country lines rock

Thank you 😊

Niiiice! I like this series a lot!

Very nice comparison - THX !

I love the way you attacked the strings when you strum. It really shows the death of the guitar and I want one of those Mike's you have

The d12e road series sounds Closest to a d18 or even d28 that’s any other road series model. They are all great tho. But that d12 for some reason is just better.

love d10e

Is it just me or does a high-gloss guitar lose its natural Woody tone. It seems like the gloss colors the tone of the wood. I really like the sound of the 000 10e

Thank you

Thank you Sam ash .. bought a d-16e from you today

cant decide between gpc13e and yamaha fgx5 but im leaning heavily towards the red label yamahas.

Great demo video ... but the audio could have been better. What's up with all the tone sweeps and stuff happening in the background. When he says things like "listen to that really jump out on this guitar" it doesn't because it's badly compressed -- but you can tell that it should have. Appreciate the content nonetheless, nice breakdown of the lineup.

I talked to a Martin representative asking him the difference between a D10e and my DRS1? He assured me the only difference in the DRS1 and the D10e is the D10e had a pickup and my DRS1 did not. I play bluegrass and a pickup is unneccesary to begin with,

Nice demo of this series but it isn't really a fair comparison with the 000 series VS the D-10 unless you use the same wood top on both.

I wanted a guitar to play for just chilling in my living room at night. So I bought the 10E Very much love the overall tonality but extremely disappointed in the volume output when finger picking especially noticeable when fretting the high E string. It's almost inaudible unless I pluck the crap out of it and even then it is still fairly muted. Maybe a spruce top may have helped? Does Martin make a guitar in the same body size that is also warm tone but maybe just a bit more punch? Oh and under $1k Very good video review btw. Thanks

very very helpful!

I also came equipped with a great soft bag

What Martin model would the 13 road series be like on the upper end models

I have an GPC 11E series. Love it. Been playing it in church for about a year and I'm struggling with feedback. The feedback buster turns on the tuner and mutes it. Any suggestions or thoughts is much appreciated 🙏

Looks like the 10e is a great guitar for live performances. I just want to hear how it sounds when using the electronics.

Where Martin really shines is from the standard series and above. For the same money of one of the most expensive Mexican martins you can buy a Gibson j45 studio, all hide glue, all solid wood, full gloss nitrocellulose finish, piezo pickup, compound dovetail, hardcase and built in America.

Good video but please... why is your voice so loud and the guitar so quiet? I have to keep turning the volume up and down and it's very annoying.

I hope that there is a 00015 goes with 24.9'' scale.

I’m interested in hearing the DC-11E. I can’t find any videos on it. I see the GPC-11E all over RU-vid but no DC-11E.

The electronic system, are their volume and tone adjustments in it?

I am having a really hard time finding information on the exact model and specs on a brand new Martin guitar I just picked up on Black Friday sale this year from Guitar Center. On the Martin & Co. website, what I purchased does not seem to be listed. Guitar Center has mine listed as a Martin Special GPC X Series Rosewood Top Grand Performance Accoustic-Electric on their website. On the serial number tag, it's listed as a Cust GPCXE HPL RW/RW. I don't know where Guitar Center is getting Rosewood from, it looks like a Mahogany finish to me, unless they are referring to the fingerboard. I would like to know exactly what I have.

Corey this comparison video of yours is excellent for me, because I am looking to buy one of these Road Series guitars. I have it narrowed down to the 000 body size - either the 000-13e, the 000-10e, or possibly the 000-12e koa, which you featured in a different video. I’d like to get your opinion - first of all, I play pretty much all fingerstyle. I don’t use a pick at all, just fingertips without the nails, and I’d like to get the one that has the most volume and projection. I know they all sound good in their own way, but which one would you choose if you were doing nothing but fingerstyle, and you wanted to get the most volume out of it, whether you’re using a light touch or digging in as well? Thanks, Corey. Keep up the great videos - you’re a great guitar player too!

I’ve had a Yamaha FG800 for a couple years now but I’m looking to upgrade. Is this worth it or should I wait to get something better? I’m more of an intermediate guitar player. I can play/fingerpick and sing a decent amount of songs and just want something that plays and feels better than what I currently have

bought D10E-02 today

What is the Finnish poly?

Really hard to find any videos hearing them plugged in. The fishman picup has a sound of its own, and 99% of the youtube channels just wanna mic every guitar. Would be great to hear plugged in comparison, thanks.

琴是弹得真好，琴也是好琴，好想拥有一款马丁全单吉他

I was apprehensive about the Martin Road Series DRS1 I bought. I wasted my time fretting (no pun intended). No problemos as they'd say in Merxico. I play bluegrass and took it to a Bg function. Mr DRS1 held it's own against hi end accoustics. Including a Collings D1 guitar. My point? Buy a DRS1. It isn't a budget buster!!! RS models sound exactly like those in the video.

what about the d-15m series? hello

Fingerstyle?

MARTIN D2XE....excellent tone and great loudness...but the one i bought, the string height is too high and cant take it down much or else its buzzing..and as i stay in Inida, so no authentic Martin repair person i can find here... ALAS...!!!

I’m very stuck

I’m having a hard time concentrating on the guitars having to stare at that mustache.

Have a d10 and a custom eggs and their cheapest Martin is better than anything else out there

Martin made a big mistake when they choose Siris wood for the back and side in the 000-13e. It looks really nice. But It sounds the worst. It doesn’t sound like Martin Guitar, it doesn’t have the warm sound. Martin should have just sticks with Sapele instead of siris. My disappointment level 100%.

Are these made in Mexico?

Good job but what a 😈😈😈 buzz... my ears bleed bro

Never buy a guitar without a binging. If they don't care about going the extra mile, they know it's a piece. Also, never buy a guitar thats not made of wood. Laminate is for flooring, not guitars.

Great video great guitars great play AWFUL AUDIO! The audio levels change like crazy! The audio guy is just fired!

People must be crazy to buy these - cheap materials and average sound for a lot of money. Better go to ebay or reverb and buy a used Takamine or Furch/Stonebridge

Fuck the guitars, I want to know more about the shoes...
