New Custom Shop Martin Guitars!

[@RyvenProductions]

Ben is such a fantastic player. Projects so much emotion when he plays.

[@_rafael_b]

These guitars are just fantastic. It must be said, guitars don't sound amazing on their own. Ben and Pete play these guitars in such a lovely way that they really bring out the wonderful characteristics of them. Cheers to Ben and Pete!

[@trevorm3354]

These d-28s are crazy!! Especially that wild grain- beautiful!!!

[@SeanDS89]

a Martin guitar is on my "must have" list... I don't know how they do it, but nothing seems to have the richness and beautiful sound of a Martin

[@plsmodium]

Just got the Rich Robinson D28. It's out of this world, it's alive, humble and yet and a tonal sea with a sustain that lasts for days. I will never need another acoustic.

[@lilycat1694]

This was wonderful, and great playing of these amazing Martin guitars. All sounded so good! Guitar heaven!!

[@frankmitman3347]

No other acoustic guitar sounds like a high end Martin in the right hands.

[@DeltaJazzUK]

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a review video as much as this one before. Ben and Pete should cut an album of acoustic instrumentals using these guitars!

[@Cozzy1306]

Jesus, Ben is an absolute beast on guitar, just WOW

[@paulstubbs4487]

One thing I've learned is it's absolutely essential to waggle your acoustic at the end of every piece.

[@cour1988]

I read "it is correlated to your genitalia" 🤣

[@paul_sebastian1154]

D18 for me, probably my favourite guitar of all time 👍

[@Dub1281]

Beautiful collection of Custom Shops. These are going to make some folks real happy!

[@limpindug]

Great demo and sweet picking Ben, will admit I've a soft spot for a good Martin. Sinkers have my attention just the now. 👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.the wild grain is warmer to my lugs.

[@dannyprasetya2496]

Is Ben a famous session player in UK? I mean, man, those playing are off the charts!!

[@SeanDS89]

12:54 "when I play the guitars, I just start grinning, and I just enjoy playing them" that's how you know you got a keeper... only issue is, all these guitars probably have that effect lol

[@rob28781]

Love those OM! I’ve always been drawn to that body shape in an acoustic guitar 🙌

[@rob28781]

..and Ben is such an amazing musician. Give him more airtime!!

[@string-pb6cu]

I got very similar CS as the OM-28, The difference is my CS 000-14f(om-28) have a sitka spruce torrified(vts) which make it vintage and loud projection sounding guitar ,warmer than the Adirondack. Thanks for the demo.

[@anonmcanon5724]

I'm mostly an electric guy but especially the nicer Martins make me wish I played more acoustic.

[@Mycloudacoustic]

Insanely good playlist guys 😊

[@zororosario]

Great playing 👍 Choice material for guitars. Decidedly a cut above the average, I'm jealous being in Vancouver Canada 😋 Cheers+Thanks

[@brianmccullar141]

I'd love to see a Martin D-10E Sapele vs D-15M video from you guys sometime! I think it could be fun to get an idea of the similarities and differences between such similar models.

[@Lorneplumber]

I bought the d28 rom this range. Alive the word to describe it

[@Danwat97]

Shame they have the modern neck profiles. I'd love these specs with a big chunky neck!

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

The 18 that Pete was playing at 18:10 was perfect to my ear. Is my eye correct in identifying it as the D18? I always thought I wanted an OM, but side by side with the D18 has changed my mind.

[@mojessedax9089]

I don't hear the difference between the OM28s. Probably it is noticeable in person... on YT it's difficult. they both sound great guitars anyway.

[@simonedimarzio2557]

That D18 is superb

[@tadpoleinnit2643]

Is the wildwood D-28 more mellow, softer, the straight-grain rosewood D-28 more defined, less resonance? - same with the 000-28 I reckon.

[@JennyGavinWear]

D28 for Christmas please. Straight grain, but I'd hate to sound picky.

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

man id wish you do more of these. especially Gibson, man nothing like Hummingbird, except maybe a 12 string version.

[@alessandroformenti1010]

I think you saved the best for last. 🙂

[@graemero5532]

I'm not keen on acoustics, never owned one and never will, but Ben is just an awesome player.

[@frankmitman3347]

Where can I download the Ben and Pete album?

[@jeffsimslmt]

So... the North Street D-28 Herringbone naming convention humors me. I’d like to play this Custom instrument and compare it with my HD28. I’m surprised Martin would use Madison Avenue marketing.

[@MrMikepresley]

The wild-grain has more sustain (rhymes too)

[@frankmitman3347]

Ben would make an out of tune cigar box guitar sound great.

[@blackmore3331]

WoooW Love Love Love

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video

[@kevincrouch3956]

If only I could afford them...must sell one of the children

[@tadpoleinnit2643]

This guy's good

[@tadpoleinnit2643]

The custom D-35 scalloped bracing is 'even more pronounced' than on the bog-standard D-35 ??? But I thought a D-35 is a D-28 with scallops? ...is the Custom D-35 scalloping wafer thin???

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

Peet has a great ear for good guitars, I have to agree with him, the wild grain OM sounds better to my ears it seems more open and has more dynamic range, Also it could be the difference between the two Adirondack tops 🤷😅

[@roughcutguitars]

Any difference you're hearing is likely due to variance between the tops and construction - largely subtle differences in bracing carve and position. Backs are mostly reactive where tops are active. They're literally the sounding board against which air pumped from the top is projected back out through the soundhole. While it's true that wild grain may be looser or less dense providing a more absorbent surface than tighter, denser straight grain and accounting for an ever-so-slightly warmer/darker tone, those kinds of differences come more from vastly different densities of wood such as Mahogany (much softer/less dense, thus quieter & warmer vs Rosewood much harder & denser thus brighter, crisper.

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

@@rexrathtar3893 typical 😂

[@mikeshanermusic]

The left handed one is nice🤭

[@denmar355]

Mic that ax on the neck/body joint.

[@chrisggoodwin777]

Don't apologize for continuing to say how great these guitars are. It'd be a much larger issue if you said they sound just ok with a $5k price tag 😉

[@kingtubby999]

When they said giveaway, I thought that was a fine gesture by Andertons, as these are not cheap 😢

[@kristinaelias3755]

Any Super Ds in their way from Martin?

[@WillyPDX94]

I like D-35s just fine, but they are not generally regarded as the "best" Martin dreadnaught, in fact, quite the opposite.

[@eriktaylor4323]

Yay, Martin guitars just got MORE expensive! Lol

[@mojessedax9089]

but they are so expensive! 😭

[@jessehudson7113]

Honk it on…

[@SloTpIck22]

why are some of these videos comming out sped up its painfully obvious

[@tompoynton]

No D-18?

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

18:10 for side by side with the OM18. 23:29 for the D 18 on it's own.

[@WonkeyWabbit]

You obviously didn't watch to the end! 😄

[@tompoynton]

@@WonkeyWabbit Nope! It was just that I didn’t see it in the chapter list and wondered why they’d omitted the greatest guitar ever made

[@jock8113]

Wonderful guitars, exquisite playing. I could listen to this for hours.

[@tompoynton]

@@rexrathtar3893 If you saw my other comment it was in response to not seeing it listed in the chapters, so it was a legitimate question.

[@greatreset3]

Get a room! 😍

[@davidyoung8875]

Even Danish Pete looks startled by Epileptic Ben.
