MARTIN -D28 OR D18 - GUITAR REVIEW IN SINGAPORE
WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY ?
BOTH GUITARS HAS BEEN FULLY PROFESSIONAL SETUP BY JARVIS WONG OF THE GUITAR SPA SINGAPORE
I’ve always been drawn to the visual beauty of the 28 series but preferred the beautiful sounding moody tone of the 18 series. Fun video Jarvis!
YES YOU CAN SEE I WAS JUST ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT OF IT...INTO THE FLOW...I LOVE THE D18...ITS SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE TONE PLUS THAT ORGANIC TONE NOT FOUND ON ROSEWOOD MARTIN..WHICH MAKES IT VERY SPECIAL
The D28 and D18 are both braced forward but the 28 is NOT scalloped. The thickness of the braces are also different. Thank you for the sound comparison. I feel your video does a good job representing the tonal differences in these two fabulous guitars. BUY BOTH.
Correct, the D28 is Non scalloped which makes a big difference. The brace size however are both the same on the D18 and D28...5/16". The D35 is 1/4" bracing. Really no wrong choice both are great guitars.
Both are wonderful sounding. If you don't own a rosewood guitar, the D28 would be the choice for me.
For D18 model, it got the Reimagined specs starting in 2012 the others and promotion of "Reimagined Series" for 2018.
I just got my hd28e retro today. WOW!!!!!! It sings!!!any fingerstyle songs sound good, especially your composition. Personally, I hear more lows/mids and warmness in the d18, but the d28 expresses the highs along with the lows and mids.
Enjoy!
My hd-28 has a song in it every time I pick it up. It will be mine forever.
Studio Earth that’s lovely that you developed a Long term relationship with your martin
Great video! I love the Martins so much. I am lucky to have an HD-40 Tom Petty model, but I am hoping to get an OMJM sometime in 2020.
s2seltaeb Omjm .. I love that guitar .. warmth with punchy tone
You should compare a D18 with a HD28. Both braced the same. Also they come from Martin with 13s and it makes a HUGE difference!
the HD28 my love is scalloped bracing and the D28 and D18 are non scalloped
my love ..
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore i think the D18 is scalloped but the D28 no 🤔
Both GREAT Guitars whichever one you end up choosing.😊😋🤗
Hello Jarvis...the D18 and USA Texan have exactly the same specs and scale length. I want to buy one of them. Could you do a comparison or tell me what you prefer. We have no music stores around here. Thank you.
u are hilarious!! love the wife jokes...18 by a nose...it just has that definition!!
Hey brother, I love your chords! 😊👍
That’s great I have a tutorial on my songs

thumbs up friend
jjj thanks for your thumbs up
Hello Jarvis. When are you coming back her in the Philippines? BTW, which do you prefer between the D35 and D18?
Hi can you just play the Song " when I die by No Mercy" as I am interested how it sounds like with D18?
Thanks so much for this comparison, as I type this I'm deciding between the d18 and d28. Also, what's the name of the tune you play at 4:00?
!? Here you go th-cam.com/video/S7sDdxg1AHQ/w-d-xo.html
!? Both are good guitars but I love the woody organic tone of the d18
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore Thanks brother, if I said d18 vs hd28 would they change your decision?
!? I still love the D18 as I already have so many Indian rosewood guitar
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore just bought my d18... im getting high off the fresh smell of wood.. it's intoxicating
Also, the difference between 1.9kg and 1.87kg is only 30 grams not 300. I bring this up because weight is something I look at when purchasing an guitar. Did you weigh them yourself? Can you feel the difference in the two?
Yes I weigh it myself
I am considering D28, D18 or Gibson J45.
i love the d18 the sweetness of her leaves my soul refreshed every time
Thank you for the reply! I enjoy your guitar demos and playing.
