- Hello,
I made a little guitar comparison for you guys. A Martin 000-15M versus SIGMA 000M-15. I talk about the specs and play some riffs with good sound quality. As a preamp I used a Neve Portico 5012 and the mics I used are a stereo pair of Shure SM7s. Hope you like this one also.
Cheers,
Jami

I bought a Harley Benton CLA 15MCE in September 2023, all solid woods and based on the Martin 00015, a nice guitar all solid mahogany top back and sides, mahogany neck, pau ferro bridge and fingerboard ,
X and scolloped bracings snowflake inlays bone compensated saddle bone nut ,all the goodies of a high end guitar for £239 gbp or $302 usd ,shipped to my home from Germany to the uk nice guitar with a rich warm sound great value for an all solid woods for around an 8th of the price of the Martin. No disrespect Martin have the name and service etc .
I went with the cutaway version B stock (no issues) which includes a fishman presys 2 electrics & tuner very pleased now it's all played in amazing &
quality value ....👍
Thanks for your comment, There are lots of good quality guitar with affordable costs.
I think both are amazing. Martin is brighter and I can understand why people prefer it. However the sigma has an old feeling to the sound it makes. Less brighter, expected from a well torn but still usable guitar and old string set.
Can someone else notice that?
I can. Martin has maybe a little newer strings. Both are great with a new string set.
Martin sounds better to me, however over 1000 dollar difference its not that much better
Yes, Martin sounds better, but still the price difference makes you think…
That is another confirmation of why I bought he martin 00015m. Not that the Sigma sounds bad, they are great guitars for the money. It's just that the Martin sounds so much better and the Martin 15 series is very good value for money
Thanks for comment, you are definitely right!
Martin all the way.
Martin is great
Martin sound much better and tighter than sigma but for the money the sigma ain’t bad but I avoid china made guitars
Thanks for comment, Martin is better than Sigma, for Sure, but I really like the Sigma also.
Moi, et tarvitse martin d-15 koska on Studiossa + mastering+laulut+instrumentit Sigma se on parasta.
Miksi?
Sigma Ääni= 9 Hinta= 300 eur
Martin= 10= hinta 1990 eur
Ennen minulle ostanut paljon martin,gibson ja opin yksi asia:
Snobism se on iso paska milloin sinulla on tiedä.
Katso oma kuvia se on Sigma sj-200, olen ammattilainen ja tehty historia on independent musiiki on Suomessa ja 31 maat, Sigma se on parasta malli nyt -1000 euroa mutta ei koko mallit d-15,sj-200 ja d-28 tossi hyvää.
Tervetuloa!
Moi, totta puhut!
All the Martin fans are mad lol. I’ve heard very few Martin guitars that weren’t muddy. One of them was from the 1940s and worth $50k so value for money just isn’t there with Martin in my book.
Thanks for the comment. I have also tested one Martin 000-28 from 1940s. That was something special. The only problem with that old Martins is the lack of truss rod, so if the neck needs to be adjusted, the only solution is full neck reset.
Mad? Nope...Just happy we have great guitars.................The sound is NOT EVEN CLOSE...The Martin wins easily and that's NOT a great Martin either actually!
000-15m is $1700 not $2200
Maybe it depends of the area you are in? In Europe we have to pay 2150 euros from 000-15m.
In Canada over $2000
No it isn't.
000-15M is $1700 list.
Ok, thanks, the prices vary a quite much in different areas.
Dont care what you say, Sigma is school guitar, Martin is for life.
Thanks for comment.
I bet you wouldn't know the difference without visuals.
@@johnfitzgerald4206Played them both ………a big difference in tone, Sigma sounds good, Martin sounds sublime.
@@johnfitzgerald4206 lol dead wrong. Probably cant tell the difference between an old martin and a new one, or tonal differences from different capacitors.
Trolls find it hard to believe but some people actually have good hearing and can play well enough, that it actually makes a huge difference. The recognition really separates the okay-players from the greats.
It's like being colorblind and trying to correct / nitpick someone with impeccable vision. No two humans are the same, and no two guitars.
I sigma sounds very thin, light.. no 👎 good
Thanks for comment, Sigma is decent but not the best.
The question isn’t which sounds better really. The question is does the Martin sound 4-5 times better. The answer is objectively no it does not. I can guarantee you that not a single person listening to this on TH-cam will be able to distinguish between them in a blind test. The same test has trained concert violinists choosing cheap violins or German made violins from the 1940s and 50s as the one that is definitely a Stradivarius from the golden era. Simply put, the technology presently exists that can produce identical copies or nearly identical with virtually imperceptible to the human ear tonal differences. The reality is with Martin you’re paying 200 dollars per letter on a head stock for a guitar that you can buy for 500 dollars from a company Martin started and clearly took the baton and ran with it. Next time put a sticker over the headstock and play it blind, even to yourself. The difference is that you know by looking at the headstock and that’s literally the difference. If you told me the sigma was the Martin and I couldn’t see the head stock I would have believed it.
Thanks for comment. You have a point there!
I don't think this is the case. The difference is audible, 100%. I'd be happy to take such a test, if you have a link (for guitars).
@@sebastian6736 Of Course Martin is Martin and Sigma is Sigma, I should have done the test with new similar strings and with a studio quality recording in a pro studio. I'm sure that in those circumstances the Martin would have sounded much better.
Fcuk, cheaper one is better
You might be right!
Dude, are you high?
Yes of course, I’m high on life!
