I've also been starting to notice, acoustic guitars sound more bright and compressed when they have a painted finish. The Martin sounds more woody, and airy. I think most of the difference that is being noticed is because of the finish. ✌️

The Casien pick sounds less harsh in the high end. 👍

Just a guess from someone who's heard a million guitars. The microphone in your phone or something isn't capturing the magic of the guitar fully. Sounds slightly muted but I bet it's the recording.

Beautiful guitar! Sounds incredible. No disrespect to Martin but in my opinion, it’s not worth it to buy a Martin when I can just get this beauty.

@myguitardetective5961 Ай бұрын

Actually, the tops are not thicker! Instead there is a round internal support inside of the sound hole (a feature unique to Eastman to further reinforce the top: ingenious idea!). If you feel inside the sound whole, you can feel the true thickness of the top just beyond that round internal sound hole support.

@myguitardetective5961 Mine bellied bulge behind the bridge with Mediums 13-56 so I sold it ok sounding guitar but apparently only really braced for lights.

@@ryanbloom1738 I’ve had an Eastman E40 D for almost 4 years now. Much better guitar than my Martin D-28 HD: better built, superior woods and far-better sound - best dreadnought I’ve ever played. I’ve NEVER heard of an Eastman top bowing: not once, ever … I’d imagined with a TC top it would be even LESS likely (I hate TC tops…they dry the wood but unfortunately make them more fragile too which isn’t the case with tops aged naturally). Most flatpickers prefer medium gauge strings and Eastman’s scalloped bracing mimics Martins current bracing design. Does Eastman recommend Light gauge strings on their Drednoughts?… they do, of course, on their OM’s…using an abundance of caution, I string mine w/ John Pearse Slightly Lights…

I have a DV52 from 1996.. All natural Guitar store owner raved about it Said he couldn't keep every great guitar that came in his shop so he offered it to me at $1000. I said Take it.I bought it because I had heard a lot about them. I already own many Guilds and I love them. From every build location. This guitar had Robert Peterson from Jupiter Fla go over it and tweak it up. It sounds richer and fuller than any of my others which includes an Orpheum, D55 , NH D50. I had a stroke that has my left arm useless. It hangs on a wall in front of me. I dream of the day I get to play it again PhilD Woodstock veteran

@ryanbloom1738 3 ай бұрын

I hope you recover too 🙏 thanks for writing me. I don't own that one anymore I'm a Eastman lover now mine needed a neck reset and a fret job so I sold it to a luthier friend he did the work and sold it to a guy I know. I'm more about documenting as many guitars as I can video that's my hobbie. To be honest they all come and go except for the Seagull my brother got it for me when I was guitarless so I'll never sell it of course.

@harrykadaras9459 3 ай бұрын

I've never played a Yamaha acoustic, and I've owned and played countless, that I thought sounded as good as a Guild or Martin. I play and maintain a d Guild D52-E and it meets or exceeds all of my expectations...as beat up, lots of repairs and patches it has accumulated.

I think the D52, while not as "bright" seems to have better clarity and stability in the notes. The Guilds remind me of Gibsons..they have a unique tonal quality that I prefer over Martins and Taylors.

@bobaldo2339 4 ай бұрын

I have several Guild acoustics, and what I especially like about them is the balance of the bass & treble, and the 12 inch fretboard radius - which I find much more comfortable than the typical flatter (16") radius you get with most guitars - including Martins.

@waynzwhirled6181 8 ай бұрын

Neither sounds good to me. In my opinion those thicker picks are meant for flat picking (e.g. bluegrass), not strumming. Do the two guitars have the same strings on them? Also, it sounds like you are playing too far back from the sound hole, or maybe it's just the picks you are using.
