New Martin Travel Guitars! 000C-Jr Streetmaster & Dreadnought Junior Bass

[@scoggers1628]

Good review as always, guys. Although a slighter older iteration, I've had a Martin Dreadnought Jr.e (without the 10 in the model name) for about three years and couldn't be more pleased with it. Such good tone for a small guitar, considerably better than its competitors and the nut width is very accommodating for fingerpicking.

[@artrogers3985]

Love the way you mix in a very well known song into your new composition 🎸

[@sxuvenirperu]

u guys are the sweetest, i don't even play guitar that much but i watch ur videos because i love watching u talk about guitars, i can really feel ur passion for it! a big shout out from switzerland !

[@SpurOne76]

Dang Cooper . . . Gorgeous! Incredible.

[@williamenwright7095]

Cooper, this is some of your best playing, IMHO; a bit slower, more evocative and listenable. Bravo!

[@leelossi1257]

Wow! Impressive sounding and great picking!

[@jkoten]

Crazy beautiful playing!

[@robynanglin3296]

Sweet I got me a street master jr I absolutely 💯 love ❤️ it🎸🎶

[@domagojoinky8262]

I like the bright and airy tone from 000.

[@ABBYDOG26]

I’m more of a cutaway fan but I like the tones from the dreadnought more. Both are great I’m sure. Gotta love a good solid body though. Great review as always

[@NatePlays9]

Great vids you guys make

[@BaktaBak3]

Dred Jr Bass is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwsome !

[@rexrathtar3893]

Dreamy playing from Cooper. Very nice.

[@Fronz05]

Great review! How would you compare the sound to a Journey travel guitar where the neck detaches or other similar type travel guitars?

[@nickp4872]

Thanks for the nice video! Between the Martin 000CJR-10E StreetMaster and OOO-10E if tone is the priority would you say is better to go for the more expensive and slightly bigger model? I'm not sure is worth the extra cash. I would have to make a more careful comparison my self. But some input is always appreciated. Has anybody made such a comparison?

[@AlvinChua]

go for jr they pretty much the same in tone

[@scottbecker3485]

Very interesting - thanks! I wonder which version would still retain enough highs to sound good when tuned down to C# standard - naturally with thicker-gauge strings so they aren’t too slack?

[@stormengine3261]

Sweet some mini Martin mahoganies. Well, Sapele. One question about the guitars. Are they richlite fretboards/bridge??

[@artrogers3985]

As a bassist, I will try to inject some Flamenco into my bass playing 😉🎸

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

Awesome

[@lukecarvill7721]

That’s the kinda smooth guitar jamming i imagine myself playing , however, reality is somewhat miles apart. Those skills are so inspiring that I feel inspired to leave my guitar where it is and spare people from any danger of hearing me twang away blaming my guitar for my lack of talent. But, as we can all dream, I’ll still be contemplating whether or not to go for one of these Martin’s or the gs mini. I’m drawn to the Martin jnrs, but the gs mini sounds mega easy to play . But laminate back and sides on the gs mini puts me off. I have an Australian Maton dreadnought which is built so nice and looks so good, but I jjst find it too big and I’m not a fan of the Maton sound or playability even though they’re highly rated over here in oz. Something about the Martin guitars that has that sound I think of that is what lured me into wanting to learn how to play. Not to mention cobain used a Martin in the unplugged set. Higher end model and different model altogether I know but still, yknow what I’m sayin. Great playing great vid dudes thanks

[@TommySG1]

This is a perfect example of the old saying, ‘It’s not the guitar, it’s the player’.

[@DG-mv6zw]

I've got Martin travel guitar. Ironically i haven't travelled anywhere since well before lockdown.

[@flyonwall360]

This video was very helpful. This week, I purchased the OOOC-10E Jr. I was torn between this and the Street Master version. I couldn't see paying an extra $100 for the Street Master version. It would be nice to see a comparison review.

[@swing8th]

Just notice the fret markers. What's up with no marker at the 3rd and double marker at the 7th. Why? C'mon Martin

[@letsridehard]

How do these compare to the Taylor GS Minis?

[@terrymattingly6843]

So that 000 Jr. has the 1 3/4 nut that the big 000-15 has always needed? (Saith the owner of a an old slothead 000-15S)

[@Oklatucky_Guitarman]

This 👍👍

[@Funkybassuk]

I’m fascinated by that travel acoustic bass guitar. How well does it actually project?

[@calebtylerr]

Would you recommend this for your 1 and only acoustic? I play gigs 2-3 times a week with a keyboard and drums, would this be a good fit for that? 000cjr specifically

[@SpurOne76]

The richlite fret board sounds and feels great. Richlite is actually more expensive than ebony . . . Nothing to sneeze at, as always, Martin knows what they are doing here.

[@IRequireMedication]

Richlite is not more expensive than ebony.

[@ARConyx70]

richlite is how you tell fake-wood lol.. its not more expensive than ebony. its replacement for ebony

[@rossgill7462]

If people really want (need?) ebony the Shawn Mendes signature version has it.

[@abraxas511]

What is the size comparison of these with something such as a fender malibu guitar? Thanks.

[@SuperMeirmeir]

Thanks for the great review The 000 is really a wonderful guitar However, the gig bag is extremely disappointing...

[@ricksweitzer7155]

Martin should be ashamed of that cheesy gig bag. It's like a wet t shirt. Take a lesson from Taylor Martin..gs mini bag is excellent.

[@SuperMeirmeir]

Actually, got a used gs mini gig bag for it.

[@sonoma_s]

@@ricksweitzer7155 totally agree. Just got the 000jr streetmaster. I was shocked at how cheap bag was for money. I also have GS mini and bag much better. I had to buy mono bag for travel. Yes, Martin can do better. Guitar is great and I actually love. Martin, please at least take a bit off of your margins or increase price a bit more so we can have reasonable travel bag for a really great guitar for travel. Fits nicely in overhead, even on smaller regional jets. I have never been asked to check…so far🤞🤞🤞

[@pavelturner1948]

guitars nice,but what a great playing

[@icarocosta4302]

does the lr baggs anthem (full) fits on dreadj jr?

[@WilsonDiaz-n6w]

Is the martin 000 jr-10 auditorium a Dreadnought body?

[@billimbriale]

Thoughts on the Dread Jr. Streetmaster vs the Road Series 000-10e Sapele?

[@AlvinChua]

Go for 000cjr-01e way sound better looks better than those 2 IMO

[@im58woody]

I preferred the 000 to the dreadnaught. I think it was more balanced.

[@PaulGAckerman]

Why is there a pick guard on the bass but not on the six strings?

[@doglover31418]

They want the 6's to get scratched. They think it looks cool.

[@ronmoore1219]

I could hear the compression from the sepele top, and the 000CJR sounded brighter and clearer to me. I have a Taylor A10e that I like better sonically.

[@ronmoore1219]

At least, playing it on my lap, anyway.

[@ordrygo52]

12:47 and then... the guitar man found the bass 😅😊

[@masterofce]

Finally a video that doesn't include TAYLOR.!!!

[@masterofce]

I spoke before I watched the video,,,,2-3 minutes in we had to hear about TAYLOR,,,,I should have known that Chris couldn't do a video without mentioning TAYLOR.!!!

[@JesseDylanMusic]

Holy cow bro. I’ve watched so many of their videos, rarely any of their Taylor videos. It’s totally legit to mention Taylor here since they have comparable items in this niche.

[@michaelstaeheli1598]

Nobody denies that Martin makes great guitars, but it is only in the last few years that they had anything new to market. So they deserve to be applauded for their innovations. Why do they have to innovate? Taylor! Let’s give them both credit.

[@Jamzocd]

😂! They are Taylor leaning!

[@zebfox011]

And the next 2 videos are... 😂

[@flyonwall360]

P.S. The soft case was very disappointing. I'll be getting a hardshell case.

[@frankmitman3347]

So, when will Martin make a ukulele bass. Heh heh

[@trevacassidy2231]

Interesting that no has figured out why smaller guitars sell, seems obvious to me.

[@P3photo]

My switch was because I'm almost 60 and I'm not standing up and gigging anymore, so the smaller body is much more comfortable to sit and play. Lastly, technology and lots of research have taught us how to get a big full sound from a smaller-body guitar. This is exactly what Livingroom Stars and Bedroom Recording Artists have been demanding for years. Taylor and now Martin have finally tapped into this globally exploding market.

[@JesseDylanMusic]

These basses sound great unplugged, but the piezo under saddle sounds awful plugged in. I’d prefer an electric pickup. Then you get the lightness, small size, playability, but the electric bass sound. Sound great unplugged, tho.

[@CompoundInterest-SG]

The bass was awesome, but the guitars sounded a bit too ukulele-like for my taste.

[@johnlord1399]

Wish I was as bad of bass player as Cooper is….

[@LairdDavidson]

Distressed finish so it looks like somebody's been playing it on the streets for ten years and a plastic fretboard and relatively expensive for what you're getting. Hmm, not sure about these

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

When you demonstrate a guitar, you must keep in mind that you're playing it for people who need to hear the tone and versatility of the instrument. We don't want to listen to your personal instrumental expertise.

[@sisterursuline]

Rude.

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

@@sisterursuline I respect your opinion but this comment was meant to be constructive criticism in order to help them sell guitars.

Guitars for the homeless made in Mexico... NO THANKS!

That 000 cutaway looks niceee! I just bought a travel size guitar a few days ago though 😅🥲
