Martin Junior Battle - 000 Junior vs Dreadnought Junior

We love Martin's Dreadnought Junior, but how does it compare to the new 000 Junior model??? Today we compare the 000JR-10 vs DJR-10. Can you hear a difference? Which would you choose?

COME ON GUYS. Even Martin's website doesn't give body dimensions. How about all the questions anyone searching out this video was hoping would be answered. How do the body sizes/thickness/shape compare? for comfort? for New / small or youth players? How do the sounds compare? Highs, Lows, Mids?

[@dareelevi9945]

Same question!

[@blueser100]

I have the original D Jr from 2015, before the redesign. It’s a keeper.

[@kennybluet5527]

Blueser100 yeah love mine.Great plugged in.

[@roberteweil]

Totally agree!

[@seethowaikeng7826]

Ditto

[@debbiewheeler4066]

Yes, me too. Love my first generation D Jr.

[@lndrvrus]

Was really hoping you guys did this video after watching the 000 video.

[@alann5003]

I have a d10jr and love it. All solid wood comfortable affordable nice sound. If your'e on the fence please get it. you won't regret it.

[@BaktaBak3]

Both resonate nicely. Like the sound of the Dred Jr. a little better than the 000

[@josephsantana3094]

We need to see the 000JR-10 vs the GS Mini!!!

[@bobdavis761]

I've got both. Prefer the Martin.

[@JimB802]

Or 000JR-10 vs Taylor GT

[@Matasky2010]

@@JimB802 $500 vs $1400..no..

[@BPToneReview]

Based on awkward vibes from these two from many other videos, I feel like these guys get on each other’s nerves off camera.

[@powbobs]

They’re friends and are in a band together.

[@f.i.l.d.e.p.s]

@@powbobs probably true then 😁

[@kaitlyntrottier1376]

these guys are like the Bob & Doug McKenzie of guitars, I love your reviews. Personally I prefer the 000 :)

[@chrisgrah99]

Hoser! Fwiw. I like the 000 as well!

[@ericcross7863]

Martin magic

[@hollisduncan3293]

In fly fishing terms, the 000 sans pick guard is an 8'6" spring creek rod whereas the dread is a 9' 4 weight.

[@Offy-official-real]

6:01Damn I love barking/honk type sound on the lower strings 😲

[@littlewing62]

Dread jr takes the cake. more boomy and open sounding

[@CaedRoji]

Which would you choose if you could only keep one and why?

[@IRequireMedication]

What is this, an exam question?

[@pirateunder40]

Wich one works better for vocals?

[@InAtlasAtLast]

I’ve played both. I like the 000 waaaay better.

[@VintageBurst42]

Interesting to see how each guitar sits differently on the lap... go to 5:30 & put your finger on your screen over the soundhole & see how when even with his knee/leg in the same position, the Dread Jr's shallower waist shifts the guitar outward, and away from the mic. 000 is more focused.

[@satriasamudra306]

Hei guys.. you are talking about mini guitar. What about Yamaha CSF3M? 🔥

[@dancollins2546]

Why not tune them both using a tuner before reviewing?

[@DG-mv6zw]

They were in tune when they bought them!

[@JesseDylanMusic]

I need 0-18 vs. D. Jr!!

[@timnewman1172]

I have an 0-18 and love it to death, but it seems more "sparkly"(for lack of a better term). The Dread Jr. has a bit more "punch" and more bottom end. I have tried out the Sapele Dread Jr but not the Spruce top yet... the Sapele is warmer sounding, but kinda homely-looking. I would definitely like to compare them side by side to my 0-18!

[@JesseDylanMusic]

@@timnewman1172 Yeah, I think the body shape is engineered to be more of a strummer on the D Jr. Which was a good move. Of course, it's also a bigger guitar.

[@anneberkeley7411]

@@JesseDylanMusic I play exclusively fingerstyle on my DJr and it's fantastic. Not sure why folks keep saying 000 for strumming and D for fingerpicking. I love the punchy base notes in my fingerpicking that come from the D shape.

[@JesseDylanMusic]

@@anneberkeley7411 You can definitely fingerpick a dread. My D-18 sounds great that way. You need a heavier attack to fingerpick a dread, but in the case of these Jrs., it's not the same deal. I think in general, people like the more even response of certain guitars for fingerstyle. Dreadnoughts are not known for an even response, and a D. Jr. is trying to emulate that (if it can--but since it's such a smaller body volume, it's not necessarily going to sound like a dread anyway). I think the tighter waist helps with the way some people fingerpick. Many fingerpicking guitars would be a little "light" for how I play.

[@djstoneenotsjd]

Hi, I play folk songs. Would you advise me Martin 000Jr-10 or Martin DJr-10? Thank you in advance :)

[@brucejohansson9552]

If not going up the neck too often get Drjr If you enjoy blues leads go for cutaway. I love my 000cjr. Thinking of getting a drjr sunburst just to have. Two Acoustic electric solid wood Martins for $1,100 with gig bags.

[@IRequireMedication]

@@brucejohansson9552 Unbelievable, is it not?

[@danmarlovsky1977]

how it cost in lefty?

[@2nuckinfuts]

Why not hold both the guitars up so we can get a better idea of the size dimensions. Too much chattering on a load of old nonsense.

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

The big problem here is the fact these guys should have come up with opinions before they shot the video. In all the videos they do, they try to sort out their thoughts when the camera starts to roll, and they wind up bemused and virtually opinionless. If they would only take a few minutes beforehand and gather their thoughts, they could come up with some cogent reviews. Please, no more waffling.

[@IRequireMedication]

I have an idea; Do your own reviews exactly as you would like them done. Perhaps there's a bigger market for it? Put your money where your mouth is or as my good friend bugs bunny used to say, shadddup shutten up

[@AdityaPurwanegaraBass]

dreadnought sounds warmer with better bass, i choose dread all day

[@LoneWolf-cv6pl]

These are for the road! Small guitar that doesn't take much space.

[@IRequireMedication]

@@LoneWolf-cv6pl So it sounds warmer on the road then...

[@TW-rn1vn]

Can you check out an Orange Wood guitar

[@Mike-vu8gv]

Don't be the hyoe. They are cheaply made and don't sound great. You're better off buying a Yamaha model for an "affordable" guiatr. Orangewood guitars are a waste of money.

[@Mike-vu8gv]

*believe

[@bobdavis761]

@@Mike-vu8gv - Sorry, I own lots of great guitars, and love my Orangewood Oliver Jr. Live. It's a great guitar.

[@Mike-vu8gv]

@@bobdavis761 thats good! I had one and ended up seeling it. Just wasnt a fan but allot of people are.

[@bobdavis761]

@@Mike-vu8gv - Mine is my only all-mahogany guitar. It's not quite the GS-Mini or Eastman of the same size I own, but I like it and play it often. I'm blessed to have (too) many guitars, and enjoy playing a different one every 15-20 minutes. The OW was the first acoustic I bought after having a stroke, when I needed a short-scale guitar - a role it has served well in during recovery. Have only recently been able to spend a litte time on my full-sized babies. BTW, damn the F-major barre chord, lol...

[@Esperia-ef9xh]

🤠

[@CatharticGuitar]

Wouldn’t a 00 or 0 be the same as a 000 Junior?

[@jamesmahoney2241]

000 by far. For me.

[@musicismyreligion5213]

Less yammering...more demo

[@zachelmquist4932]

OUT OF TUNE AHHH!

[@nathanday01]

4:04 AGREE. I wish Paul would talk less. Interrupting, leading, etc. No offense. In radio you don't talk over one another and it applies here too. The viewer needs to focus on the person giving the information. We didn't tune in for banter.

[@Invictus13666]

I do. I can hear guys play on every channel.

[@IRequireMedication]

Here's a crazy thought; How about you don't tune in at all if that's the way you feel buttercup. One day you will grow up and realize that your opinion means less than fuck all

[@InAtlasAtLast]

The prices for these are good as well. GS mini might be a little better than these. But they’re twice the price. If I’m gonna spend 1000 dollars, I want a full size beauty, not a campfire guitar

[@anneberkeley7411]

I have both and love them both. But now I play the Djr almost exclusively. To me, its tone is quite a bit richer than the gsmini"s and is thus more fun and satisfying to play.

[@docpearson]

I really really really wish he would use some beautiful sounding chords down the fretboare besides those half baked excuse for not knowing bar chords. That sound depressingly like half the strings are off tune.

[@EdibleCastleWill]

well that was... unfocused

[@arieltherealify]

Exacly! Poul you dont stop men! Let the men do his job in the dam video!

[@billr2375]

Too much tuning time, disjointed discussion...great idea though, playing same thing on one, then immeadielty passing and playing the same thing on the next guitar. Makes it easier for viewers to decide than to await through all the tuning, and other talk. Otherwise decent review, especially at the end. I still cant decide though, other than the Djr has an electric option and the 000 does not, unless go with cutaway.

[@rdickinsondickinson]

000 has better balanced tone

[@sirlordcomic]

Dread sounds better to me.

[@biscuitninja]

Take 10 mins and tune them....

[@dragula7076]

DJR better fo chords, 000 better for finger style.

[@anneberkeley7411]

I play the D jr exclusively for fingerstyle and it's absolutely wonderful.

[@robertcrites8745]

Dread has more volume and bass. Both were out of tune.

[@OscarBenben]

Not a fan of these guys reviewing : too much talking, private jokes and not enough playing and focusing on products in my humble opinion

[@musicismyreligion5213]

I second that. Majority of the time is needless talking. Room acoustics are lousy as well. Sounds like they're in a tunnel. And my last gripe is the guy is playing too far back towards the bridge which makes any guitar sound brittle and quacky.

[@suziofftheplanet977]

Totally agree, too much rubbish. Get to the point of why we are here

[@suziofftheplanet977]

Just skip forward to 5.22 - the rest is drivel

[@rdickinsondickinson]

The 000 has. Better bass response

[@badijabbour5491]

Dr. Jr. sounds way better to my ears. Listening through quality studio monitors.

[@frogblues]

Drummer guy needs to shut up while guitar guy tries to listen to the guitars and make an assessment.

[@tabutog]

Is this drama ora guitar review?

[@roflmows]

i've been shooting off my big mouth for years about how much i HATE Taylor and Martin, how they're all overpriced garbage....well.... i was in GC earlier just knocking around small body guitars, and i picked up both the 000 and the Dread Jr for the first time. well, holy crap....i fell in love. i absolutely fell in love. i still believe low-end Taylors are junk. but i haggled and walked out with my very own Dread Jr. i'm a believer.

[@zamannabijan4689]

You got issues man ha ha

Welcome to the Martin family. There is no going back now

[@martinkleinman2522]

buy a snark

[@skynyrdrebellion]

[@morna45]

Too much talk, nor enough real playing. Noodling kind of kills it all too. Just shut up when they other is talking. Thanks. This should be a do-over with more playing, less talk.

[@dmmurray9422]

These two are not a good pair. I won’t be watching them again, it’s annoying.
