I love that accent what is that Maine?

Didn’t hear much difference honestly.

I've had my Dx1 for 11 years now, and I've played on a few D28's and there's not much difference

Epi sounds better

I have a 400. What strings do you use?

I just bought a Martin jr d-10 and find it plays nice for my smaller fingers, but it looks too small! Seeing if i can return it and am really considering this DX2E instead. Isn't the fretboard about the same?

Thanks☺. Can you please tell how long the phosphore bronze strings will last?

I hope you got to 100 subs!!!!

Cool, funny how people of such different backgrounds in life can converge on a musical topic

Playing this acoustically is tough very impressed

I mean, there is obviously a huge difference here, but at five times the cost of course the Gibson is going to sound better. This is like comparing apples to oranges. There's a reason these two guitars have different price points. The Martin sounds good for what it is, but it doesn't even compare to the J45. A more fair Gibson/Martin comparison would be to use a more comparable guitar like the D18.

I prefer the j45 but they're both great sounding machines!

I have the Eppi like yours love it,,So Number 2. Is. The DR 400.

Number 1 sounded just a bit better than number 2 to my ear. But, number 2 was no slouch either. I own a DR-400 and think it is a superb guitar and outstanding value. We are talking about a D28 that costs about 8x more than a DR400.

I have been in the market for a new acoustic for a while now looking to spend really tops out at about around $1200 or so. Nothing to fancy, just a good player and sound. I was reading and listening to reviews on some of the new Gibson Generation series being at the top of my budget, and Epiphone Materbilt Excellente, Frontier and the inspired by Gibson Epiphone Hummingbird. None of the guitars that I wanted to try were in stock lol. At the store, I went into a different mindset to just try out a few budget Taylors, Epiphones, and a Gibson Generation Songwriter slightly out of my budget. After playing some, I preferred the Gibson the most. I didn't know about the Martin X series at all and noticed a Martin DCX2E on the wall at $699?? a Martin?? I thought immediately that this will sound like a piece of cheese if you will. Wrong it sounded better than everything I have tried except for the Gibson one. The very first G chord rang and had great sustain. I was really in shock, so much that I couldn't even justify paying more than twice the price for the Gibson. The Martin sounded much better to me than the budget Taylors. I took the Martin home with me. It just goes to show you can't just go by reviews alone and what you read, you have to play it then decide.

I hear ply-wood sound with the Martin. Solid wood is king with age.

They both sound the same to me

It’s not even close the j45 destroys the Martin

Nice video and very informative. 👌 Nice playing as well ! What is that first tune you played???

I have had mine for 2 years..I didn't like it at first but with a little age,it came to life!! Good info for people looking 👌

I just bought this one in the mahogany finish yesterday. I knew about Martin but didn’t know anything about this model. I just picked it up at the shop, played it for an hour and didn’t want to leave without it. I’d be surprised if there’s a better guitar out there for $599.

Thanks Son sure proud of you

I really liked that. Guitar sounded great and good vocals

it has better sound than epiphone j200?

The DX1 is a little fuller sounding with a little more bottom end/bass presence to my ears maybe slightly more resonant

Epiphone sounds brighter. I have never been that impressed with the D-28 that much for the price they are now charging. I got an Epi Dove pro and it sounds great for under $400. My dream guitar is a D-45 and D-41.

Epi sounds better, give it 20 years and the Martin will sound better.... that’s if we’re allowed guitars then under the new world order.

Is the back and sides solid wood

This or the d10?

He visto varios videos de esta guitarra Martin DX2 y la verdad es que su sonido es perfecto para mí. Me gusta color BURST y es complicada para conseguir en España, donde vivo. Es algo cara... 900 euros, para no tener los laterales de madera maciza, pero su sonido es muy bueno. Además tardan 3 meses en entregarme la guitarra. Pero lo bueno se hace esperar. Gracias por su vídeo.

The 1st one

Nice review man I appreciate it! How has it held up so far? I’ve been reading reviews saying that the HPL comes loose at the binding especially if tapped or dropped is that the case with yours? And I know dropping your guitar isn’t good but shit happens at gigs

There is an amazing price difference between them. A fried has a more expensive Martin Cherry Dread which is amazing but he bought a used X series Dread that is even more amazing and constantly plays it now !!

They are amazing instruments. My first Martin was a DXK2 ! I have an old 00-18G,and OM 21,a little Martin made for the Owners meeting in 2012, and a Road Series 000 Koa. I would love to have a D 41 or 42 but a bad fall 6 years ago left me hurting very bad trying to reach around the big body ! If they ever let us go back to semi normal a trip to Martin Guitar is well worth the trip. The Museum,the Picking Parlor and all are amazing ! I played an $8000 solid Koa 12 fret one time !! Had I had the money at the time I would have had one. What a beauty !!! Thank you for the video.

They both sound great but I am an Epiphone man.

Nice work

Gibson my friend.

I'm waiting on my DR400 to be delivered and I have a Martin D16 that I play everyday. I'm happy to see this.

Thank you for posting this. I just ordered a DR400MCE; it sounds fantastic and will replace my old Yamaha.

#1 is more articulate and therefore has to be the Martin. No mistaking the sound. That leaves #2 as the Epiphone.

You don' t need to expend 2000 dollars for Elite guitars because in studio this sound it is cuted at 60 per cent of his signal,and the Lady who wants your record she don't understand about guitars,only if you play well and if your music is good,brands doesn't gives you talent but the talent givew you good sound in any guitar. Those dx2are best guitars than people knows,it has the best solid scalloped top of the planet ,and this guitar year by year wins more tone.

the epiphone sounds just as good as the martin

Great demo man. I’m getting the burst version soon.

I discovered your channel for your DX2E review. (I just ordered one) I love this song. Nice job.

Hi chris, any problems with the martin ? crashes by humidity? and this gibson any trouble with humidity? good stuff!

I have a DR400, also. I love it! I've never been a fan of Martin's and I definitely think the Epiphone sounds better in your video. Thanks!

It sounds amazing!

Even thought I dislike this song you done a good job!

Hi Chris. Well done 🤗👍 Liked and subscribed (as we share the same taste in music) 😇

Eppiphone 400 nice tone,oh I have the same one... For me Martin my next one,.. Will have both
