MorrisrownSal Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Quick little comparison between my Gibson and the new Martin 000-18 - the redesigned one. Whatcha think? https://soundcloud.c...s-martin-000-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nice recording, nice gits. The SJ rocks. Martin has the typcial 000 mid-range scoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 'Always appreciate a comparo recording. The SJTV did seem to have this one- put some fingerpicking on there, sans pick & capo, & I'm sure the little Martin would really shine. Thanks for putting that one up.

BigKahune Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 . I'd have to agree, the SJ sounds better to me in this one. Thanks Sal. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Both sound fun to play, the Martin perhaps a little subdued at this early stage of its life? The SJ sounds darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl200 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 SJ sounds better to my ears. Martin sounds good just listen to the first note of each and the last strum of each SJ WINS! I still like my Martin but I love all my Gibby's and my SJ. Is special,too Nice pick'en Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatcha think? https://soundcloud.c...s-martin-000-18 Not even close. Slope-shouldered mahogany Gibsons manage, IMO, to achieve a balance even OMs and 000s don't get. The smaller guitars get the bass to treble balance right, but the mids fall back. If you don't mind working your arm around that big bottom, a good slope is even a better finger picker. And with more headroom, better projection, and the ability to take a pick when you want to use one. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
