Martin OM28 Modern Deluxe vs OM28 Reimagined! | Guitar Battles #11 | @ The Fellowship of Acoustics

[@joeguppy]

I just bought the standard OM-28. Yes, it's the warm sound! Good segment .

[@harrykottier8991]

Last week it was ver nice to hear you starting playing together and also closing together. I missed it today. :)

[@timmcgurl]

You forgot to say that the OM-28 Modern Deluxe also has torrefied Adirondack scalloped braces, a slightly skewed neck profile and they use Protein Fish Glue in its body construction. I own the Modern Deluxe 000-28MD and love it as well.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

You're absolutely right Tim, thanks for the addition! :)

[@marcusflores2184]

Can you guys do a guitar battles between the reimagined OM28 vs the OMJM? I’m having a tough time deciding between the two. Thanks!

[@zororosario]

The Modern is superb for the upgrades which lean more to the custom features without the custom price. Really depends on the individual preference, imho the MD is a cut above.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Thanks for sharing! Depending on what you're looking for I couldn't agree more, the MD is an absolute upgrade for some ;)

[@MattF12765]

Modern deluxe for me but that's because i own one.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

A little bias isn't bad!

[@woodwindrain5020]

The om28-modern sounds very articulate, more so than the om28 standard and also louder. I could live with either one but prefer the modern. The modern also looks very stunning in person should you see one in a shop or store.

[@dtcho100]

Flaw in this comparison is that the two guitars are played by different individuals, which can make a huge difference in the sound.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Good point Dean, in our newest episodes we switched up the playing to compensate :)

[@alexcorll90]

I actually prefer the reimagined, though aesthetically I really like what they did with the deluxe. The reimagined has a warmer, rounder, woodier tone imo. The modern deluxe is brighter, a litte louder maybe, clearer. Not sure how much the adirondack spruce top and carbon bridge plays into it. Would be interesting to swap out the bridge pins on the modern deluxe and see how much difference that makes. In my experience, switching to ebony bridge pins gave my guitar a darker, deeper tone Edit: Sorry, I was mistaken, it's a VTS Sitka top, Adi braces with GE scalloping. Still a bit brighter, crisper tone vs the standard. Both are great.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

I think you're right here Alex, swapping out the bridge pins would be interesting! I think they make much a difference, definitely with that Adi top. - Maarten

[@alexcorll90]

@@thefellowshipofacoustics Actually.....I'm mistaken, it's a Sitka top, but with VTS treatment. But VTS tops always sound closer to adirondack to my ear, a little crisper.

[@jmsamborski]

It actually pisses me off how much better the standard sounds in every video I watch because I would prefer to have the better wood grade in the modern, the mahogany neck, and better case of the modern. It must be the carbon fiber and metal pins that make it so sterile sounding.

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

That's quite a dilemma yes! You can always change the pins from the modern... 😉

[@sbolfing]

Different neck profile on the OM-28 Modern Deluxe!

[@67fok]

OM28 Reimagined. No Doubt.

[@graziolivenier]

Would love to see you guys compare a high end Taylor grand concert model with other small body equivalents from Martin, etc....

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Good one Xavier, thanks!

[@zororosario]

The Taylor even high end is Pale in comparison to what a high end Martin puts out. If I see what's being sold it's more Taylors than Martin. I have a Baby BT1 that can't compare to a LX1 in solid build, I have to play hard to keep up,?

[@tbchew6591]

Love om28 reimagined sounds

[@Proarro308]

For me the Reimagined wins.

[@michel559]

Hey Guys, I go with the standard one. Warmer, more intimate sound. What about a Gibson 00 model vs the Eastman varnish ss 00 model. Cheers Michel

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Hey Michel, thanks for the tip! Noted it down :) - Maarten

[@station2station544]

Exchange and re-sample.

[@wariedl12]

I love your videos. Question: do you use the same pick? If not identical guitars would sound very different

[@grafishvideo]

Reimagened!

[@-Atmos1]

The Reimagined sounds good , the Modern Deluxe also sounds good . Good comparison .

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Thanks Mike!

[@tomangus3637]

🤔 Bought the Modern Deluxe 🤷‍♂️☺️😉👍👌

[@thefellowshipofacoustics]

Fantastic choice Tom!

[@kennethschuit2974]

Modern Deluxe

[@evomike5708]

But the first Martin sounds nicer

[@evomike5708]

First sound test is out of tune

[@sgtmac62]

sound almost exactly the same
