If you go to MelodeeMusic in Leesburg VA, don't believe anything he says. He'll say whatever will get you buy inventory that isn't moving if he thinks he can fool you. I have short fingers & he convinced me that a wider neck is easier to play with short fingers & I spent 2 hrs there & ended up spending over a grand on a Martin that has the widest neck they make.
@jcozzi9 yea i know that cool guy, it was just kind of a comment aimed at the fact that this is youtube, and how could you possibly judge the sound of three guitars based on youtube.. his mic and your speakers change the sound so much, it's useless to judge based on this vid.
@Drafter3 Not really, to a trained ear, a lot is told! I have been playing just over forty years. The warmths of each kind of wood, style and shape and craftmanship yielding each benefit of specific tonewoods is evident in even this basic vid. I just have a small subwoofer (power unit) and two puter speakers. But the fidelity gives each guitar its earned sound. Just my opinion and observation.
The guy in the music shop beside me has new strings on his tanglewoods and old ones on his martins and taylors because he makes more profit selling a tanglewood and it makes them sound better.
great guitars! why does everyone think martin guitars are overpriced though? $2500 can get you a top of the line martin.... $2500 is a mid line taylor and the martins are much better sounding in my opinion.
Classic brittle but sturdy glass-like sonics...I play a Takamine because that's all I can afford and it seems to have those classic, brittle glassy sounds
00-15 sounds the beast the D18 sounds bad when strummed
the 0m was nice sounding but that one too didn't sound good when strummed but i"m a Gobsom man so It may be that I am use to the warming sounding guitars.
Nearly every Martin I've listened to sounds the same - a good sound if you like it , but lacking the tonal variety you can get with a comparable Gibson, Taylor, Lowden or Maton. Martins are overpriced for what they are in my opinion - you're paying 30% over the odds for the trademark.
To me the D18 sounds more mellow with the richer bass sound. The OM42 treble sound seemed more dominant and the 0015 could be placed between the two as far as the sound.
It's built with far better wood and too a far higher standard. By saying, I have to go with the OM-42, you make it sound as if it is a tough decision. Perhaps comparing an OMJM with a Clapton signature or a D-42 with a Taylor 914ce would make for a much fairer comparison, but through this video we can clearly see that (in this case) the price clearly accounts for a higher quality.
Regardless of what you say, it is extremely find a 600 dollar guitar better than one that's 2 grand.
I'm not going to debate you on the price and quality of guitars...anyone who would write a comment like your first one isn't worth debating. People like you who write mean spirited, unhelpful comments should not be allowed to comment. For what it is worth, I have quite a few Martins, and from experience I can tell you that price is NOT a consistent factor in the quality of the sound of a guitar.
I would say 80 percent of the time is pretty damn consistent. Give or take a grand or so in the cost of a guitar. Personally I would have thought 80 percent in most tests would be at least satisfactory. Yes, only a douchebag primarily considers a guitar by it's price,but they will generally be correct in doing so, like most things in this world.
I guess we shall have to agree to disagree though.
You sound like the kind of person that everyone would just love to sit around with and discuss guitars. Thanks for the enlightining and insightful comment. You make this world a better place.
awesome man, I recently picked up and trying to learn guitar, I originally am a drummer but cant have drums in my condo, lol, what is the chords you are playing in this? I would love to try it
And also I would love to get the OM-42!, I love martin, taylor as well, right now I own a wasburn acoustic electric, jackson elecric and an ibanez ex series, Im used to playing drums but I live in a condo so no drums here, lol, Im about to turn 30 and trying to get my guitar skills better, all my guitars need an overhaul, and the only amp I have is a crate bass amp! lol, it plays well with my acoustic,, I suppose I could get a pedal for it though....
the om series of guitars will always have a better sound cause of its construction. the d-18 has a nice biggar and fatter sound while the om is brighter in tone
Great video for comparison. I find the d18 has the lower tones, but the OM42 has that and the brilliant treble tones. As far as balance goes the 42 is king. As far as sound goes that is REALLY a matter of personal preference.
the D-15 mahogany is the best sounding guitar youll ever get for under a $1000 i have one and i love it. very easy to play, excellent tone, great quality. you wont be disappointed
the 15 was a bit brittle, probably more suited to extended notes. I loved the sound of the 18. The 42 had too much abalone invested in it for me to take it seriously...like one of those crazily expensive 45s...sounded a bit dull to me...but that's just me. I play a Takamine, what do I know?!
Um, you mean the music? That's "Julia" by John Lennon/The Beatles. Great huh? The Martins typically cost the same as a car but they're worth it I think.
I have played top end Martins for 2-5 thousand, and NONE compare to a mid range classical/flamenco guitar. They are decent guitars if you're willing to pay ALOT. But they are over-rated. Same goes for most steel strung guitars though; most classical/flamenco guitars have much better bass.
Very true. I shall rephrase, that most people who have heard a mid range classical or flamenco guitar have normally said they sound better than high end steel strung guitars. Because of the bass, sustain, playability being MUCH easier etc. I still love steel strung guitars though.
I have a D15, all mahogany like the 00-15 (or is this 00 the sapele version, the striping points in that direction?). Great for Nick Drake stuff. Everytime when I take it out of its case and strike the first chord I am still pleased by the sound. For the money imo the best buy from the Martin catalog.
The 15 is a little too warm, but would be nice for certain songs. The 18 is nice, but a little too much bottom end. My vote goes to the 42. It's chimey without sounding strident. I can really hear the resonance. The 42 has the best balance top to bottom for tone.
You sure the guitar labeled as a 00-15 isn't mislabeled and should be listed as the 000-15.
I just got one for Martin's anniversary year and because the price was a bargain. Looks and sounds just like the first one played here. My D-28 and Taylor playing buddies come over and drool once they've had that sweet playing & sounding Marty in their mitts. In fact, I like it so much that I turned around and got the 12-string mate, the J12-15. Jumbo body and fabulous sound for well under $1000.
the 00-15 is the muddiest of the three, the d-18 has a much cleaner sound with less mixing resonance, and the om-42 is a mix of the two, with less clean highs and mids then the d-18, but not as much low end reverberation as the 00-15.
I'd probably go with the d-18 just because of how clean the entire range of tone is. to me, you would have to work to produce tonal warmth and reverberation with it, but you wouldn't have to work against already having it there and not wanting it.
The simple 00-15 might sound as good as it does because there isn't a lot of "candy" such as plastic ornamentation hanging off the body, the sides of the neck, and the soundhole. If you think about it, only wood can resonate the same as the guitar top.
I love the mellowness of the all mahogany 00-15. I'm a lefty guitar player too, and I'm going to look at an 00-15 right now! =) Check out my channel to see a 100 year old parlor that I had converted to lefty.
i think we can all agree that these all of these guitars sound great

I love the mellowness of the all mahogany 00-15. I'm a lefty guitar player too, and I'm going to look at an 00-15 right now! =) Check out my channel to see a 100 year old parlor that I had converted to lefty.

First one sounded the best, probably due to the mohagany, it makes the alternating bass sound good.
