1918 Martin 00-18 Review- My New All-Time Favorite Small Body Guitar
This guitar is a finger pickers dream. It has mojo for days and I absolutely love it. It’s very much a players grade vintage guitar but considering the year I’m tickled with it. It might be my new all-time favorite small body guitar. It leaves a little to be desired in hard strumming and intonation but the mojo and overall vibe more than make up for the relatively few shortcomings it has.

This might be my favorite guitar I’ve owned. Sinker mahogany Gruhn spec D-18 with an Adirondack top. Everything about this guitar makes me happy. Here’s some tunes hope you enjoy it!

This guitar is so pretty it makes my heart palpitate. I’ve been driving a lot the last few days and not eating the healthiest food so that may also be playing a factor but even without that this guitar sends my heart fluttering. Being a 1996 it’s nice and broken in. It rings for days and is as loud as can be. The HOA said I can only play it from 9am-9pm on account of neighbors keep thinking the...

I fully acknowledge I might be the only person in the world who cares about comparing these 12-Fret guitars but I’m having so much fun that I barley notice the complete lack of fanfare when I post these videos and that counts for something. Anyway. This is your classic Martin rosewood versus mahogany battle but this time in a 12-Fret dreadnaught. I can’t hardly wait. The specs on them are virtu...

This song has been running through my mind a lot these past few days while we’ve sat with my mother in law Karla as she passed away. It talks about having a girl in the war and the helplessness you feel. I think about Karla being the girl in the war as she experienced the process of death. I think of all the people who have loved her throughout her life from the time she was a little girl up un...
Martin D-18s 12-Fret VS Bagnasco & Casati D-18s 12-Fret
มุมมอง 4421 วันที่ผ่านมา
This was my favorite comparison to date. I’ve been down a 12-Fret rabbit hole of late and these two are at the top of my list. The Martin has sinker mahogany and a 1 3/4 nut width the B&C has a wider 1 13/16 nut width. The B&C also has no adjustable truss rod which is scary for a lot of people. Here’s my take: The Martin is a little easier to play complicated pieces (The Stone and Captain) but ...
Bagnasco & Casati D-18 12-Fret Acoustic Guitar
มุมมอง 12821 วันที่ผ่านมา
My Martin D-18s Sinker Mahogany 12-Fret may have met its match. I absolutely love this guitar. It’s similar to my Martin with two notable exceptions 1) It has a 1 13/16 nut width as opposed to 1 3/4 on my Martin and 2) there’s no adjustable truss rod. Is that a deal killer? Would you own a guitar without an adjustable truss rod? Have you had an acoustic with a wider nut width?

This was SUCH a fun comparison. I traded my 2015 D-28 for a 2011 D-35 but before I did I took a quick video of the D-28. Several hours later I played the same songs on the D-35. I had to boost the volume on the D-28 slightly as the D-35 was a lot louder and/or I may have had the microphone closer. Probably a little of both. Which tone did you all prefer?

    You are right, amazing video for who enjoy this kind of dreadnoughts. I'm thinking in purchase one Larrivée 12 fret dreadnought, because the Martins are trully expensive. Also, I think you did a great job showing the features of both guitars, real playing with good taste...not overdid. About the instruments: I'm a mahogany guy, but the rosewood in this 12 fret bodies have something special, really to think on it...

    Very nice comparison. the 28 sounds a little more balanced (and deeper) than the 18. But I'm sure I would be happy with either one of them. thanks again.. by the why, your strumming is very good. I esp. like the fast strumming comparison starting at around 8:57. Again well done👏👏

I think it's Gibsons best acoustic they offer.. Well, I've never owned or even played a J200, so I guess I can't really say that. Lol.. As much as I love my AJ and don't ever see myself parting with it, I still prefer Mahogany back and sides over Rosewood.. Anyway, lol. Do you offer a Layaway plan? Haha!!! Awesome Hummingbird!! 🤘

    I think the 35 sounds a little clearer, especially on the bass strings than the 28, at least when playing the regular non- capoed rhythm. Much of the time, they both sound very similar, almost to the point that if you weren't watching and only listening you wouldn't know when you switched guitars. I own an '86 D-35 myself that I bought new. From my own experience, the 28 is maybe a little easier to pick lead on because of the slightly narrower/thinner neck.

    Cracks happen in Dry heat like the desert or during the heat of the winter months. You ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT leave this guitar out all night in winter. The dry heat from your house will shrink/crack it. Get a humidipak, play the guitar 3 hours tops, put it back in its case during winter months and you wont get cracks, dont be a fool and leave it out in dry weather.

    I once went into a Brooks Brothers store to by some pants and I asked how much a particular pair was, and they guy literally said, "if you have to ask, you maybe shouldn't shop here". If I went into the Martin section of a music and shop and saw this guitar, I'd probably be in the same situation. At that price, I would definitely be calling it one of my favorites too, but kidding aside, it would be great to experience. I have a Martin GPC-16e, so a 'cheap?' Martin, but still a Nazareth-made Martin. I too am a sucker for unique guitars, but I wish I had the budget for them. I found this video to hear another D18, but sort of to gauge the overall sound as I am searching for the right 12-string. But - you can't go wrong with a D18, now can you. Is this the one up on Reverb at David's Shop?
