Who says guitars are supposed to be made with wood? Is there a law in any constitution that forces luthiers to make guitars of wood? Is there any law that defines guitars have to be made of wood?

I thought the Adamas sounded tighter and punchier and cleaner. The Martin sounded good but clangy almost like it was tuned a step down or the strings were too loose.....

Not really sure what point this video is trying to make, other then demonstrate quite how different a Martin is to an Adamas. A serious pro or semi pro guitarist will probably own several different guitars, personally I've also found room for both a decent Martin and an Adamas in my collection as they both have their merits and role to play. After all, we wouldn't expect a carpenter to only own one chisel !

I love both guitars. Both unique tones and thats the beauty of variety. As a writer, no variety would lead to the same sounds over and over. However the videos audio does not do the ovation justice as ive played an adamas and its actually quite a bit of deep bass tones and very warm tones.

Martin destroys the Ovation. Gets much more of the full spectrum of Bass, Mid and Treble than the Ovation. I used to have an Ovation...they're not acoustic guitars, they're electric acoustic.

martin sounds more acoustic, more original but at the same time more harsh... i'm gonna go with ovation in this one, the notes sound more... rounded :)

Personally, I really do like the D28 Marquis. It sounds more "woody" and authentic to me.

Sorry DAB music! The TOP STUDIOS don,t use NEUMANN condensers to mic up a MARTIN D28 for recording!. What they actually use is a pair of AKG C451(EB),one located about 3 inches from soundhole,and the other (same distance) 4th/5th fret from soundhole. I know for a fact thats what McCartney,Glen Johns,Hugh Padgham,and Phil Ramone do. Took their word for it and bought a pair! guess what? THEY WERE 100% CORRECT. Keep strummin,,,, MANSTONE.

2 great guitars. I have a D-28 and an Ovation Legend (the top is made of wood, while the Adamas has Kevlar or something).

In my opinion they shouldn't be compared. They are worlds apart. The Adamas should be plugged in to benefit of its design and built in pickups. The Martin D-28 sounds heavenly live, truly unplugged. And it gets better in time. And if you really need to record or amplify it, go with a Neumann mike,
