I like the first guitar sound the best. Great comparison video!

The Collings sounds like a Collings, clear, articulate, more defined and the Martin sounds like a throwback Martin, fuller, more bass, and rounder. Great options either way!

Nice comparison and I just received a new Martin 000-18 and love it!

Wow! That Martin blew away the Collings. So much fuller and rich. The collings sounded quite thin to these ears.

One of Martin's finest Authentics shows why it's the best modern mahogany 000.

collings sounds older, dry and more mellow but cant go wrong with both

Well done! I'm working on Woodside Waltz, too, right now and I very much appreciate your achievement! Thank you for the comparison! Which of the two did you enjoy more when playing?

I tend to favor Collings. The notes have an explosiveness to them that is jusst grea to experience when playing fingerstyle

Just listened to this blind. 1st is more articulate esp somewhere around lower mids, each note distinct & articulate. 2nd is louder (which isn’t always better - low hanging “positive” for some. 2nd has lower mids that seemed to mush together a bit, which sometimes comes with obvious desirable overtones that, in this case, I didn’t quite hear…. Both definitely cured my curiosity of SC parabolics, lol. Curious how the necks feel, relative to each other.

2 different scale lengths, OM-1 is 25.5, Martin is 24 .9 also make sure you listen with headphones. Closer comparison would be OM-1 vs OM18

This particular OM was actually custom ordered with a 24 7/8 scale length, hence the "SS" designation.

First guitar is by FAR the better guitar. Reminds me of my Larrivee OM-05. I'm guessing it's the Collings going by the pyramid bridge.

The Collings 0M1SS cost twice as much as the Martin 000-18 . Does the Collings sound twice as good ?? I'll go for the Martin....

That is an 000-18 authentic, not a standard. There was very few of those built and they runs hour $5000 these days. Far from the standard 000-18.

More time practicing playing and less time spent spending big money on specialty non-Martin guitars would benefit you greatly. And I'm a Texan.

Thanks, William, for the feedback. I agree that I have much to learn about playing and am always working to improve. Nothing like attempting some Julian Lage to highlight your technical and musical deficiencies ;)
