First time hearing a Martin [in person] was an “oh sh!t” moment for me. Very first chord on a D-28 filled the entire room with so much balance and clarity… I’m a teacher, so it will be a longgggg time before that guitar finds its way in my budget. But I will have one before I die. For sure, D-28 is now my number one dream guitar.
try out the HD28 and D35 too if you havent done it yet.
The new Satin D28's are about $400 cheaper. Also, many places have payment plans. I just got my first Martin, it was $2000 and i pay $100 a month for two years approx. You can do it. Also, once you get an amazing high quality instrument, you play it more, cuz it's that much more enjoyable.
I have an OM28 and just love it but honestly any solid wood guitar should be checked out and played, Martins are great but there are others too. Don't get stuck on the name. Take the advice from someone who's been playing for the last 45 years. Happy hunting!
Try the D18, had the opportunity to buy one for myself, had to choose between that and the D28, went home with the D18, just records way better IMO
@@tinongtravels7182 D18 is better than the D28 for sure. I prefer the HD28 for its ''reverb like'' character (scalloped braces), but it's more scooped than the D18, which is more middy and more woody dare I say b/c of the mahogany. Anyway cant go wrong with these dreadnoughts.
There’s like a million dollars worth of guitars in this video 😂😂😂
I went into a store thinking I was going to leave with a Taylor. But the Martin 000Jr (10E) felt amazing in my hands and it had such a rich sound for a small guitar. It's amazing
I feel the same about my Dreadnought Jr.
I bought my dad a D-41 for his 70th birthday. His first ever, and now I am hooked on wanting one next. The family history is a plus, as was meeting Chris Martin (former CEO of the company) in person recently. Much more than just a guitar, more like a lifelong piece of history and art.
That's my dream martin, are you sure I'm not your dad?😂
I'm turning 70 in June. Hope my son sees this :)
You are a really good son. What an incredible gift.
My income allowed it then, today things are different….but I’m so happy he has his bucket list guitar.
@@rosewoodsteel6656 I was blessed to be able to do so. He smiles every time he picks it up, money well spent!
Growing up a Neil Young fan, a Martin is just THE acoustic sound.
BTW great video, love your humour. As a teacher, love your playing. Feel is one thing that is very hard to teach.
I own the sc-13e special and I just love every minute with that guitar, it just inspires you to pick it up and after playing it you realize that most other acoustics feel super wide in the neck, but that is all about personal preference.
I have been drawn to the sound of D-18's the last few years. They have a nice, clear sound to me and no muddiness.
best guitar in their line-up, I have a 2019 model
I just purchased my first Martin, it’s the SC-13e special. I had my first lesson Wednesday and I’m completely in love with and so proud of it.
I own a HD28 and I play bluegrass and folk/singer songwriter type tunes on it, 100% flatpicked. Amazing is an understatement to describe it with 13 gauge strings and a blue chip pick.
I just got an HD-28 last year… speechless. I always wanted a D-28 then I played the HD
@@kjpElectricWizard yep; forward shifted scalloped braces make all the difference
You are so funny dude!
Yep….and got to love a Blue Chip pick!
So I mean this in the most respectful way!! I really support you and your channel! Not because you’re a guitar virtuoso and showing off your skills but because you seem like a normal dude that’s showing everyone if you want you can pick up the guitar, make music and have fun!! You are obviously talented I’m just saying it means more to me than just someone showing off how good they are!! Rock on!!
In 2008 I got my first job after grad school and I had always wanted a Gibson J-45. I was playing an ancient Epiphone at the time and I decided to treat myself. I could never find a J-45 I liked and the salesman in the shop gave me a D28 to try. It was perfect, bought it the next day. Still have it, never selling. If I were to get another Martin it would be that 000-15M. My dream guitar would be the 1937 D28 Authentic I suppose.
After reading a whole bunch of great reviews and how many people love the Martin 000-15m I went and played one yesterday, didn’t love it. The Martin D-28 blew my doors off. I also tried Martin 18 and 16E they were just ok.
The dream Martin I now own is a Martin D-17 Gloss Top mahogany that they stopped making in the early 2000s (not the new D-17s with the stained spruce or shark). The only gloss top and binding Martin mahogany series ever made. It's super warm with a bright shine, and I love it so much! When you're playing it, it sounds super boomy and massive, but as soon as you back away a bit it turns into this really balanced sound. That allows it to fit into a mix without being too muddy, but still have that massive feel. Gotta love that Martin sound!
Love the sound of the 10k one. With age comes wisdom and in some cases being able to afford the guitars we sometimes desire. I think of it as a nice separate 401k plan that when I leave this world my loved ones can enjoy them or release them back into the used market. Keep up the good videos. I truly appreciate them.
Thanks for the vid. Love the SC13. I bought a D41 Ambertone from Sweetwater in March of this year at 53 after years of saving up for it. I've played various acoustic cutaways live over the last 30 years or so just plugged in with Piezo pickups. I bought a Fishman Aura box a few years ago and that helped but nothing sounds as great as a well mic'd high-end Martin in a live setting for a one man acoustic act. It has changed my whole stage setup and I shed several pedals and now just use two mics on one stand, and I also now sit to perform so I can mic that gorgeous guitar to give the instrument and the fine folks at Martin guitars their proper due. In the 25 years of performing prior I always stood to play but this is one guitar worth sitting down for and is by far the nicest instrument I've ever played or owned.
A long, long time ago (1966) I owned a D-28. It was a fine instrument. Several years later I found a D-41 that was a good guitar as well. But over the years I've migrated to smaller instruments and other makers. I'm really satisfied and playing my dream instruments with the Huss & Dalton 00 and CM models I own now.
If I may ask, how much did the D-28 cost in 1966?
HD-28. Tried out five different ones and the one I got was the best of them all. Love it.
I switched from a J-45 to a Martin 000 28 and have been incredibly happy with the move. I purchased both guitars from Guitar Center’s used selection. I highly recommend browsing their used inventory online. I think their employees don’t always know what they have and under price the product occasionally. I super pleased with both purchases and was given a little more assurance with their 45 day return policy.
Philip I came in possession of a 000-28. Long story. Now I have to learn to play. It's a beautiful instrument.
I’m not a guitarist but both my wife and son are. She has a 1989 J-40 rosewood that has Martin low end for days. Plays it all the time as a worship leader. She just gave her 1971 000-18 to our son to use in his Nashville recording studio. She bought it new for $300 in 1972. He has an all mahogany 00-15. We just saw a gorgeous GPCe-28 with Baggs Anthem in a shop near us and we’re deeply tempted by her “next” dream guitar. . . but $3300 short on cash. Definitely a Martin family.
Just buy a GPC-11e and wow ! I always wanted a Martin guitar and I finaly have it ! But being realy rich I would go for a D-42, it is really my dream acoustic guitar.. And also great video Mike !
Enjoy your Martin journey, mine started in the '60s. My lifetime favorites, retirement guitars; OM-18 Authentic (Adirondack 0ver Mahogany), Custom Shop OM-28 (Alpine over Madagascar), Custom Shop 00-42 (Adirondack over Madagascar) and the "Lady" 2005 OM-45 (curly Engelmann over flamed Tasmanian Blackwood, alternate torch, carved gold tuners). An old man's reflection, try different body sizes and tone woods, enjoy Martin's variety !!!
My first and only Martin is the D15m that I just received earlier this year. My hope is to get a D28 or OM28 one day but for now the D15m just floors me every day. I love it.
My dream guitar is a Martin D-X2E twelve string. I absolutely love the iconic sound of a twelve string and I love Martin guitars although I’ve never owned one.
Bought myself a Martin D28 four years ago and Takamine thinline two years ago. Haven't been in want of any acoustic since. One is perfect in the room guitar and the other the perfect DI guitar.
D-35, and I paid what a D-45 cost back in 1980.
Love the triple wood back!
Nice Posting, first time I heard a D35 (1976) played that was it! I own two GCPA4R and a 00015SM so that’s all I own but in 2003 I found a 1937 Flattop that was amazing. Played an O18 I believe, little parlor all Koa and it had tone that only Angels can make. Enjoyed, thanks
I have an x-series (the lowest level martin lol) and even that has a really beautiful tone. Truly excellent craftmanship.
I have a 2021 HD-35 that I love the sound of but the neck is just too wide for my hands. It almost feels like it's alive when you play it. Very responsive and resonates like no other I've ever played.
I bought a d-35 last year, spent probably 20 hours at a number of local guitar stores playing every high end guitar they had. J-45, a hummingbird, d28, d18, hd-28, etc. The d-35 just sounded so amazing to me, couldn’t say no to it. It’s the best sounding guitar I’ve ever played and I’m proud to say it lives in its case beside my bed 😂
I have found a beaten up D35 from 1973 in a vintage store in Austin that I restored, and that’s the most beautiful sounding guitar I ever played. It’s a bit capricious to play since it doesn’t have an adjustable trussrod, but maaaan…the SOUND! I named her June after Johnny Cash’s wife (who famously played a D35) 😊
I've played all Martins. But the D-35 has been my favorite since 1973. Try one you'll understand.
I have been wanting to try one before I buy it, but none in any of the guitar stores anywhere near me!
Thought you were a Taylor guy... I have a 71 Martin D-41 that I bought in the mid 80s from Norm's Rare Guitars. It's my dream Martin.
I have a 2018 HD-28 a 1996 D-42. My D-42 is now 27 years old and is getting that “something” old guitars get. It sounds full, warm, and amazing.
Waiting for my OMJM to arrive. Can’t wait!!
We inherited a '94 Martin D-1 about 2years ago. Very affordable dreadnought when it was being sold. Has a very big woody tone. Love songwriting on it.
Have an OM-28. It's my dream Martin. Started with a D-16RGT, and that's a great guitar, but eventually sold it. The OM-28 is just special.
I bought a Martin D-X2E last month. These are on the lower end of the their product line and I was totally impressed with their sound when I tried one last January. It sounds great both acoustically and plugged in my amp; and was very affordable at $649.
I bought a HD 35 Martin In 1979 and it looks Brand New and sounds better now than when it was new All I’ve had done to it is have the bridge adjusted It’s a beauty with 3 piece Rosewood back and Blonde Mohogony front
My D-35 is Indian rosewood with a Sitka spruce top. I've never seen blonde mahogany before. Are you sure it isn't spruce?
I liked that “every song I’ve ever written” tune. You should develop that. I think my dream Martin is a 0-15 in all mahogany.
Anderson’s do a good video on these, I’m with you
The Martin Dread Jr is well built and sports a 1 3/4 inch nut ideal for fingersyle. The model overall is 3/4-size dreadnaught with a big sound
I have owned several nice Martins and currently have had my dream Martin guitars for a few years now. They are expensive but worth every cent. Both 6 and 12 string. I sold a few others on along the way as I worked my way up with some good guitar trades. Previously had a D16e and 000M. Good but not the full house Martin sound like my D35 and the D12-28. #3 is an OMC16e Ovankol with Fishman Matrix electronics for playing out. The Ovankol has alot of midrange punch while maintaining the bass and crisp highs Martin is known for. Something about the upper end Martins that just feel good in the hand and please the ear like no other. Any of the 15 series or above fit the bill for me.
The Martin CEO-7 is my dream guitar. I’ve played many Martins and that little guitar can do it all.
I knew the guy who oversaw the production of the sc-13e and with both seeing its capabilities and trusting this his work I purchased one, and it’s been my favorite acoustic I’ve ever played since. Highly recommend!
I have two acoustics. A martin dreadnought and a Taylor gs mini in mahogany. The Martin was one that my father purchased over twenty years ago and sounds so cool. Has the older appearance and the sound is very unique.
Thank you for sharing your Martin Experience with us. I bet it was quite the day. The voice of the D45 got me. Loved it. Currently own an HD28 that I've had for 22 years and a Bourgeois Country Boy (Mahogany) 20 years.
Thanks Mike. That was fun! Thinking about buying a Martin. The hard part is which one.
I graduated from my 1966. 000-18 ....
Upon the advice of many people, who said "Get a D28 ".... finding one isn't easy! Two years ago I found a 2014 D28 Custom... I'm still walking on air!!🎵🎶🎵
Mike, keep with the Clapton stuff! You are good at getting it!
I have three Martins, D-41, Eric Clapton signature 000-28EC, and the CE0-9 which is made from the Mango tree. I've played the Clapton more than any of the others because of the comfortable size and shape but I can't see getting rid of any of them. Would like get a custom build from their custom shop. That would be my dream acoustic guitar.
D-35... I have played many Martins new and old, nothing compares to my 2017 D-35.
I have a 1976 d-35. Its really good too. I think that 3 piece back has a lot to do with it.
A couple years ago, I wanted a new acoustic in the $1000-$1500 range. I tried every acoustic in the room in that price range and walked out with the SC-13E.
Is that a Martin SC-13E you are talking about ?😊
This is a great video,and here's why I love Martins.It's because of personal musical heroes like Hank Williams Sr,The Highwaymen,Bob Dylan,CSNY,Jim Croce,David Gates,Townes Van Zandt,The Eagles,Kurt Cobain,Jason Isbell,etc.Though I don't have an American made model I was very lucky to get a mahogany DX1E,and I'll NEVER sell it.
Great comment!
Tyvm man 🙂
Martin sold tons of ukes when the Uke craze began in the 1920s. they built like a ton of them, and they sound amazing. I love the 15 series too, the 000 is my dream guitar. I own a Sigma copy, someday I might be able to buy the real deal xD the D41 would be another one I would love to own, but dreadnoughts are too big, despite their wonderful sound.
I have a 1995 Martin D-1, made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. I don’t think the imipramine model I made in USA any more, but I hear they’re still good guitars. My dream acoustic would be a 000-28 or an OM-28, not sure which I would prefer.
the best sounding dread ever made. I have to later dx1 I bought a decade after you. Nowadays i guess the dx2e would be an equivalent. Only one with katalox fret and bridge interestingly. Also no stratabond neck. But I bet it's just as good an axe. At the time I was planning on spending thousands on the guitar but once I heard the dx1 that was my choice for $500. Blew away everything in the stores. 7 store to he exact lol.
Great impromptu video. I have a couple of Martins myself. A ‘96 DM which is nothing spectacular, but it was my first and I STILL love it and play it quite often. A few years ago I FINALLY got my bucket list acoustic. The almighty HD28. It still smells like a cabinet shop every time I open the case. This thing is a cannon and it never ceases to amaze me that that kind of sound can come out of a wood box with strings on it. Although I love all guitars, there’s just some kind of magical “oomph” that only comes from a Martin.
I have a 84 D35hb. Love it.
At 62 I finally bought my first Martin, an OM-28. The 28 has the best bang for the buck sound wise...particularly compared to the 42. Ive had a Lawsuit Takaminie HD-28 (solid top, lam back and sides) since 1978 and for what it is it does sound great. The OM-28 though, in addition to being so much more lively because its solid wood, is WAY more balanced. As a day 1 JM fan I looked at his OM JM version but the wider fingerboard works for his massive hands but not my humans sized hands. The OM at 1 3/4 is still wider than my dreadnaught which is perfect for all those expensive JM chords
2006 HD-28. My baby Rosy - that sweet Indian rosewood smell is there every time I play her.
After playing a few Martins I chose the Martin 000-28EC. The modified V and 1.75” nut width is perfect as well as the short scale. My dream is to own the burst version as well.
I just love my 000 15 m out of the 6 I’ve owned. At 65 I had to choose one acoustic and one electric. The 000 15m was my final acoustic choice.
I bought a D-18 a few months back after I returned the Gibson j-45 I purchased... best decision I ever made !
Mike I have an HD 28 and I play in a cover band in which I have to switch often between electric and acoustic. When I discovered the SC13, I thought it would be the guitar I had always dreamed of: electric guitar neck and cutaway in a Martin package. Such a disappointment. Quality problems from the start, including the pickup..and though I tried to have it set up properly I just couldn't rationalize all the difficulties for a guitar of its caliber and cost. So back to the HD28 I went, which has been a reliable workhorse for me, though I'm not sure it's worth the retail cost of almost $3,000, especially considering some of the great boutique guitars out there.
I'd be curious to know what you thought of it, and anyone else out there who has played one. Was I just unlucky, or did Martin really take a great idea and blow it?
Can't afford the D series, but even the X series, the Mexican Martins, are very well constructed, great sounding guitars.
I love my new D18! Ive owned a couple from the 60s but i think martin is doing their best work now.
One of the guitars I once owned was a player grade 1965 Martin 00018. I got it on trade and did a complete overhaul - neck reset, refret, new bridge, saddle, and nut, had some cracks repaired, etc. One of the best guitars I have ever played. I have owned over 50 acoutstic guitars and this is one I wish I had never gotten rid of. Some others on the list are a custom shop Gibson SJ200, a boutique guitar called "Grace" amde by Luthier Lyle Crawford that was a koa body, my first "high end" guitar - a Taylor 114ce. I will own another vintage 00018 one day. For now my go to is a Bamburg SJB. If you haven't heard of Jeff Bamburg - look him up. He builds stuff that will blow your socks off.
Thank you.. you’re a great player. I own a 000-16 SGT. It was a budget compromise from the Eric Clapton model. As much as I like the Dreadnaughts, they’re just a bit too big for casual playing around the house.
I went to buy an HD-28 last month. I ended up bringing home a Lowden S-32c. After really comparing the brands, I would probably buy a high-end Yamaha or a Boucher over a Martin. They're still amazing guitars, I just find the others to be my preference.
@A I've seen a few of his videos, but I've always liked Yamaha. I got to liking the Boucher when I was trying out dreadnoughts. Martin is a safe choice, but you pay more for the name.
I have two: 000-28 Modern Deluxe and a 000-15SM. They are very different beasts. If I could only keep one, I'd keep the 15. I love the 12-fret feel and sound, especially in all mahogany.
My hd-28 is the guitar I've always wanted, and I can never put it down
I’m rockin the Martin backpacker!! Everyone asks if it’s mandolin or something!😂 Sounds great even after I repaired some crush damage! 🎶
I own a Martin D-28 and I consider it my dream guitar. No matter how I'm playing it never lets me down. If something sounds less than good or great it's definitely not the guitar's fault. Mine is one of the Reimagined models from 2018. If you look up the artists through the years who have played a D-28 the list goes on and on. It's one of the most iconic models in the history of Martin guitars. Thanks for the interesting video.
Yes I bought the HD-28 with LR Baggs Anthem from Sweetwater, It is my church guitar because it always sounds so good. It has the forward shifted bracing and the open gear tuners.
"It's one of the most iconic models in the history of Martin guitars"? The history of ALL guitars.
I’d recommend a D-18 with scalloped braces. That’s the more recorded guitar of all time
you're the first person I've ever found who could make the SC13 sound good. they're usually thin and tinny. i regreat going down the Talor path. i have 5. would trade them all for a D45.
I own an HD-28, a D-18 -28 and a 0015M.
The HD-28 was my original dream guitar.
After I bought it the D-18 became my dream guitar.
Now my dream guitar is the D-42 and a CEO-7.
Hey! Loving the videos so thank you for your work! I’m curious if you’ve played Reverend guitars? They are amazing quality and I’d love to see more content on them, especially comparing them to fenders, Gibsons, and Gretch’s. I have a charger 290 that I love.
my fave is the OMC 16 E Burst (ovangkol)...it has opened up so much in the past 3 years and is articulate with just the right amount of natural compression for recording. real gem now discontinued
I liked the OMC-28e (cutoff - not currently in production) I was trying out in 2018. Smoothest playing acoustic ever. Easier for me to play than the Collings OM-2H I ultimately bought, but the Martin had slightly less sparkle and clarity.
My only Martin is an OM-28 reimagined, and it's by far the best guitar I've ever owned. I played about thirty different OM-28s in the years leading up to the purchase, and this one was by far my favorite--worth the wait!
If I ever got another Martin it would probably be a D-18, or maybe a O0-18 or 000-18.
You didn't show the 5-15 (Terz) mahogany 6-string. But you did show the 0012-28. I own both. And now, sadly, I want a D-28; Thanks a lot. Very cool video; excellent playing!
All Martin guitars, just like all Taylor guitars, sound and play great (in all price ranges).
After years of thought, I decided to buy the venerable D18. Absolutely loved it. Then, I played the D28. I liked the sound better, but the appearance of the D18 better.
Then, I came across a lonely DSS 17. A sloped-shoulder Martin? The strings were ancient, but I was intrigued.
I walked in to purchase a D18, left that day with the DSS 17, and did so without a single regret.
They were all incredible, but the DSS 17 was the best for me.
Owning a Martin is my dream. But even if the day comes that I could own one, I might be questioning myself if my skills even worth the price of an entry USA made Martin like the 000-15sm. Such a beautiful guitar
I've owned 4 Martins: a 1926 Koa O18K, a 1968 00-18, a 1989 000-21 (custom,) and a 1996 D-18 Golden Era. The one I still own and play is a 00-18 made in 1968. It's not terribly rare and not from a famous era, but it is a great guitar- balanced, dry, loud, and punchy.
My first Martin was a D28 bicentennial ,then I got a D18 vintage series, a couple of D35s, a DC16-GTE. Then i got a Takamine Lawsuit D-28, which was cool. Of course all over the years I've had to part with all of them, and now I have a Taylor 200 model. The only one I really want now is a D-41 DF, the Dan Fogelberg model, or at least an older D-41. Life deals her blows, perhaps I will survive long enough to get one someday.
I own a 000 Nylon String, a D28S, an EC 000-28, a 00-18, and a D45. A left-handed. They are all works of art. IMO.
With 37 years of playing acoustic guitars behind me, I vow that I will never buy another Martin as long as I live.
Taylor is on my shyt list, too.
Peace. 🐰💙🇺🇸🗽🎸🎶🤝✌️
11:08 I FINALLY understand Gabe's iconic 1 2 7 9! Thank you!
Love the thumbnail! Great vid :)
lol weirdo
I bought a U.S made 00CX1AE in 2004, because $600 was as much as I could afford. I love that thing! It’s thin-bodied and easy to play, it sounds relatively full and as far as intonation goes it’s as stable as anything. I now have other prettier, solid wood guitars that I expected to supplant my laminate Martin, but my 00CX1AE is still my usual go-to.
I loved your guitar with the cutaway was a great solid choice, but my favourite tones were the D-18 can't match a dreadnought resonance, but the D-45 was almost the same fantastic sounds but less of a sized guitar, So I'd like the D-45
Huh? They're the exact same size
I clicked on this video because I knew by the thumbnail you got an SC-13E Special! Those skeletonized ratio tuners are really slick. I just got a regular, non-burst, SC-13E Special from my fiance and it's basically been a dream guitar for me and I love it so much!!
My guitar is a D-28, reimagined. Tried a number of other guitars and was down to Maton Messiah and a Cole Clark Angel in Silky Oak.
Not sure if I made the right decision as I loved the Cole Clark and it was half the price.
I have a few,but the one that brings a giant smile to the face of anyone I allow to play it is the HJ28 (discontinued).I've had mine since '97 so it has matured into an incredible sounding instrument.You can only get this J model as a J41 (I think),so pretty big bucks.....................................
I own a D-18 Ambertone and a 000-16 Streetmaster. My dream Martin guitars are a J-40 and a D-45.
I used to own a Martin D16E Koa sixteen years ago but had to sell it. I currently own a Martin OOO28 Eric Clapton model. I want a Martin D15 with electronics installed.
Banging away on guitars like this with a plectrum... Learn to finger pick and then the real Tone is released. I find a corner to play into so the reflected sound is increased. Marvelous instruments.
I have two Martins HD-28 and OM-28 Modern Deluxe, and OM is my favorite one!
What the Heck! Wow haha. Shout out Mike Cole for the shout out! Ditched the X Series - but still rip Mayer riffs. 😂
Have the OMCE and the 000-17.
Great vid. I suspected that would be your choice after your comments on the cutaway. I have a 000-15SM, a D10Jr and an LX1RE. Badly want a 00-28, but I'm not worthy!
I have a 000-15M Streetmaster. Absolutely love it!
I’ve got a GS Mini but took a screenshot of the sc13 when you played it, to remember, then at the end I was happy to see it was your final choice, might have to bring my Maton SRS 70C and compare.
. Such a good mix of tone and so comfortable with the combo body size. I am still partial to the m-36.
Martins are nice but I’ve always have a soft spot for Gibson acoustics. I’ve been playing a LG-2 forever 😅
I've got a couple martins. I haven't had a chance to play an SC-13 yet. Anything past the 7th fret is kinda out of my comfort zone so I don't really need the cutaway. I've got an 0-15SM, D-Mahogany-09, and I used to have an om-18. Good compliment to my Gibson Southern Jumbo and the old yamaha 12 string I'm rebuilding.
I have a Martin X-Series that I picked up 3 years ago as my first guitar. Looking to get a Little Martin for when I travel
