I’ve been waiting for this one. Thanks so much for mentioning your observations in comparison to the regular ooo jr. Really helpful! Lovely guitar and sounds great with your upgrades and playing. 🎶💕
Great review. Having owned a few GS Mini's and the original 000-Jr, I see the same things. GS Mini is a great guitar, but surprising the 000-Jr has more volume and after I good setup, I found it much more enjoyable to play. The upgrades on the SM 000-Jr are great, worth the cost for that nice hard bag and pickup! The humidity problems with the GS Mini are real. I took one to a beach condo for a week and it needed a neck adjustment by the end of that trip. Took the 000-Jr on the same trip this past year and it did amazing.
I always enjoy your reviews. I have heard that Shawn Mendes has a swallow tattoo, which Martin copied and engraved in the bridge of his signature guitar, because swallows always return home.
Hi, fantastic review, thank you very much. Mine is on the way... can´t wait! You said you upgraded the saddle but I couldnt´understand to which one? If you can tell me I appreciate it. Do you think the nut could be upgraded too or is it good enough? Thank you very much
Jarvis, what's the song you're playing at 11:15? Sounds so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. Sounds so relaxing and I want to learn it! Thanks!
Thanks for great review.I'm stuck between this guitar and the Yamaha FS3.Not able to try either of them first unfortunately,do you have preference between them?many thanks.
Hi Jarvis, Love your reviews and your own compositions/jamming to demo these guitars! So which one would you choose - the Martin 000Jr Shawn Mendes, or the Yamaha CSF3M?
after a year, do you still think the Shawn Mendez model is better sounding than the regular 000Jr-10? what about compared to the DJr-10, Shawn still better sounding? I dont and wont use electronics so that a big negative for me. thank you
@@dadraisingtwins4759 i personally love the tone of the shawn mendes though i have a gs mini koa that is spectacular and bought long time ago . I just need the extra cash to get the Mendes
The OOO JR has Sapele back and sides and is only a derivative of mahogany. Mahogany has a much more pleasant sound sonically. I own a ooo-jr which cost me $500 and then I bought my Martin OO-18 which was $2800. Absolutely no comparison at all. Sapele is sapele and Honduran Mahogany is Mahogany. Both create there own need if budget is a concern, but my OO-18 is on a whole different level.. Saddle and nut on ooo are NOT bone and fingerboard is Richlite. My ooo is a good guitar to practice on. It plays very well. Just do the homework and your budget will dictate the rest.
Hi Jarvis! I’m proud to own this guitar; but was wondering, if you know where the hidden lyric locations can be (other than the obvious side of the body interior), I can’t find mine!

What e pleasure to watch you play and enjoy what you're playing so much. That's what it's all about. Sold!
@@kickandsnareproductions536 thanks for
tuning in and your support
Very nice sounding! Im between the shawn mendes and de big d10e .... what do you think?
I always enjoy your reviews. I have heard that Shawn Mendes has a swallow tattoo, which Martin copied and engraved in the bridge of his signature guitar, because swallows always return home.
I wonder how this guitar sounds after a year or so.

FMI saddle and nut - if you can’t find them just get unbleached bone saddle and nut
Hi Jarvis. Great review as usual. had a doubt. what did you upgrade the saddle to? sorry that part wasn't clear
I wasn’t going to buy a new🎉guitar for🎉a while, I might have to make the card bleed for this one. Thanks for the review Jarvis.
well you will be smiling after that
Jarvis, what's the song you're playing at 11:15? Sounds so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. Sounds so relaxing and I want to learn it! Thanks!

Thanks for great review.I'm stuck between this guitar and the Yamaha FS3.Not able to try either of them first unfortunately,do you have preference between them?many thanks.
i like this better due to the size and this one has the looks .. articulate tone but also the punch that is lacking in the fs3 as it’s too scalloped
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jarvis, Love your reviews and your own compositions/jamming to demo these guitars! So which one would you choose - the Martin 000Jr Shawn Mendes, or the Yamaha CSF3M?
shawn mendes that one has the magic
Thanks, Jarvis. 👍🏻
Replaced the stock bridge pins with Brass. Damn! The sound and tone of the guitar got Better!!!!!
@@dadraisingtwins4759 you will have more sustain and deeper tone plus brightness too in the trebles and possibly harshness in the trebles
Hello Jarvis. I’m between this guitar and the Taylor gs mini koa plus which one in your opinion is better? Great playing by the way!
I love the tone of this martin and out of the box it sounds glorious and imagine when it ages how much better it will be
after a year, do you still think the Shawn Mendez model is better sounding than the regular 000Jr-10? what about compared to the DJr-10, Shawn still better sounding? I dont and wont use electronics so that a big negative for me. thank you
Did you use the stock strings in this video?
Dig it 👌
Im still thinking of buying Martin 000m , martin 0001R is Shawn Mendez better sound? Thanks
I’m having a hard time choosing this or the Yamaha FS5, disregard in terms of price differences, I can’t make a decision, any thoughts on this?
Between GS Mini Koa and The Shawn Mendes, which one do you recommend? Thank you
@@dadraisingtwins4759 i personally love the tone of the shawn mendes though i have a gs mini koa that is spectacular and bought long time ago .
I just need the extra cash to get the Mendes
Got the 000CJR-10E........first thing. Changed those retro strings to MA535. Sang and played like a songbird.
Hello Mr. Jarvis, which one do you prefer? This one or DJR10 E Streetmaster? Thanks before 😃
this one sounds spectacular and i would pay and buy this one
Hello …. This is not available at my region…. Hows the enya t05b ????
Awesome sounding guitar! Seems like a better short scale option than the Taylor GT. What do you think? Nice haircut by the way! 😊
yes it sounds way better than the Taylor GT series .. plus it’s cheaper too
Hi Jarvis, for you would prefer this or yamaha FSX5? Thanks
this is good as it’s smaller and i will play this more often
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore What about tone wise? Maybe for strumming or flatpicking style.. Thanks again 😝😝
Which one has a smaller/slimmer neck: this or Taylor GS Mini?
this one
That’s really good value for a Martin ooo I could even put up with the signature on the third fret for that price
Is the sound from the Martin pick up or Mic?
i use a condenser mic to
record this
I just wondered if you still play and love your mini maton emm 6.. they don't make them anymore . Best regards from Germany
my mini maton yes i still have it and rocking it live
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore niceeee I have EMD 6 but still searching EMM after I saw your video. hm to pitty they don't make new one
Is it all solid wood?
Yes

Hi Jarvis! I’m proud to own this guitar; but was wondering, if you know where the hidden lyric locations can be (other than the obvious side of the body interior), I can’t find mine!
should be on the sides
I asked, it can be anywhere. You may try to use a mirror, mine is hidden on the back, under the hole😅
Using your phone’s flashlight, look in the soundhole on the inner rim on treble side (closest to lap).
Played this recently and was great. You know why.... Other than solid woods, it uses sapele which imo is a better tonewood than mahogany.
Unpopular opinion but I totally agree. Less muddy sounding which I always get unless you’re but a d18 or something expensive
Hello sir i am little bit confused…. Can you help me out….?….i want to buy a parlor guitar…. Which 1 should i buy…. Prs 20 prs 50 or art and lutherie roadhouse?????
get this one it’s better than the two yoi mentioned

@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore what are your thoughts between the Shawn Mendes and the 000-CJR-10E Streetmaster?
