You can't go wrong when you start with a Martin style 18. Slight edge to the Engelmann over the Alpine. Of course, now that sitka is a "premium" wood maybe it's the best? lol 🙂
I really like what you did here! It seems after each segment, I had a different favorite! All three CS OM are so nice, but if you made me buy one right now, I'd be taking the Engelmann home.
@tbdog99 Thanks for checking it out! These were all Brand New, so they had factory installed Martin Lifespan 2.0 Phosphor Bronze Strings. I try to keep several Martim Custom OM in stock. Check the website for the current offerings 🫶
I’ve been dead for a while now…But I heard about this guitar and decided to come back from the dead to see what’s doin!!! This is a great guitar for the dead …or living!!! 10 out of 10 !!! Great tone!!!!
Love this video. Truly demonstrates the difference in tone between all. The Italian was very clear without being jangly. Great volume control. When you laid off of it, the guitar sweetened up. When you laid into it, it responded with a thump. Engleman was very balanced. Treble and bass did not step on each other and had very blended mids. I would enjoy banging out some three chorders by the campfire with this one. Adi...well, what doesn't it do well? Loud, articulate and more punch than Rocky Balboa beating half a steer in the meatlocker. If I could only take one six string to the deserted Island, it would be outfitted with a Red Spruce top. Appreciate the demo. We love Steve!
I like the Adi top

@JakeSchlade Yea dude all super fun guitar, I'd be happy with any of them🫠🤙
I might be in the market for a Martin 0M-18, great video! Maybe I missed it, but did all the guitars have the same strings?

All fine sounds, but the Engelmann kept standing out to me as having that extra bit of sparkle and volume.
Engelmann!
@arno-qc6nf I love Engelmann!! Great on OM units

@kurtcobain7888 Thank you, Mr. Cobain!! I first started playing Nirvana licks when I started playing guitar 🫶
Cant beat Alpine for me.
