My 2 cents....You say you are a Gibson guy?  That usually equates to liking the Gibson neck and the 12 radius.  The Martin neck will vary, but the radius is 16-very flat as you go up the neck.  If you are a strummer, you will find that barre chords are easier with the 12 radius.  Can'r remember the Guild radius...but if it's 16 the same outcome applies.

Thanks for the help, the radius of the guild it’s 12, c profile neck and scale lengh its25.6"

Hi guys, I’m in the market for an all mahogany dread. My two candidates are the Guild D 20 and Martin D 15. I’m a Gibson guy  and it’s curious but always when I play a Guild I think in Gibson like tone. I’m a singer songwriter, I would use only for strumming/ singing. Thanks!

I have a D-18 and a D-35. Both are great singer/songwriter guitars. The D-18 is a little more punchy and projects while the D-35 blooms and is more enveloping with less projection than the D-18. The D-35 sounds big, but isn't overpowering, but again, it's a BIG sounding guitar but still pairs well with (my) voice. The guitar sounds like it has built-in reverb. If I want projection, like when playing fiddle tunes I'll reach for the D-18, when I'm doing the singer/songwriter stuff there's something about the D-35 that just always makes me sound better when singing. It's a very rich sound that just sounds like a band is playing with you. Hard to explain, but there's something a nice D-35 has that the others don't. 

 

I've also owned a few D-28's and an HD28 and never been a fan of either. I greatly prefer the D-18 and D-35 over those other two. D-28's always sound stiff and choked to me, and HD28's always sounded unbalanced with boomy lows and thin highs. The D-35 sounds much more balanced to my ear and the highs sound richer on the D-35 compared to the 28 series dreads. 

Thanks for your answer! Lot of help! Other guitar I am looking is the 15 series Martin(all hog) because the general opinion is all hog is good for singing. perhaps it’s other league compared to a D35 no? Thanks again

Yes, my question as well. Where is the OP for clarification?

Hi thanks for the answers. I mean that I have the three Gibsons in my arsenal, I’m happy with all but I search something different. I am interested in Martin sound now. People say that the. Martin D 35 is the best Martin for singer songwriter stuff. Opinions? Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, i’ve been saving for two years and it's time to choose my new guitar. 
Currently I have these guitars: Gibson J45 ,Gibson J200 and Gibson hummingbird. I’m a singer songwriter, I’m only strum chords(I don’t use picks)for voice accompaiment(I have a very low/deep/dark type of voice). Any ideas of guitars for that purpose? Thanks a lot for the help.
