Testing 3 of my "go-to" guitars. Alama TSR Custom, Martin OM42, and a Chinese Dread.

[@JuanDelaCruz-qt5ok]

Theres always a reason that Martin is a holy grail of acoustic guitars. Alama at least came half close in terms of sounds. Aesthetically, I really like the Alama, stunning finish it's a handmade guitar afterall and something that we should be very proud of.

[@alfiecalderondinopol3302]

Alama guitar for me it has a clear bass sound good to the ears...both martin original and premium also are great

[@SUPERFLASH-activate]

Thinner body got compressed sounds when strums hard. Its good with plucking and mellow songs

[@lyotomachida2478]

Alama ang the chinese copy martin is good but the OM has something on it and the spirit when u sing combined with it.

[@kennethramirez114]

Those are keeper guitars!

[@nicholmanio]

may I ask where you got the chinese copy from? Thanks.

[@angelodelrosario7260]

well different woods and sizes cant really compare but all 3 gave top tier sound so all goods

[@angelodelrosario7260]

but the copy one is for me is the best my typ of sound it has alot of tsssk sound to it 👌

[@dodjiegarcia2320]

Martin OM42 easily. But for the price, Alama is pretty much competitive! The Chinese D45 knockoff has a stiffness that I don't like but not bad.

[@rocknsuhr1078]

Body sizes are different, D45 ,OM 42 , and alama the wood is different,, they have their own sound , it’s a tool to make music it’s up to the player which one he/she likes for a particular song.

[@botbydblud]

Amen to that bro.

[@SUPERFLASH-activate]

Martin has a crystal clear notes

[@jackquentin1950]

The Alama stands out for me. It plays beautifully! The replica sounds awesome too. I wonder why they didn't just make a new brand with it, it could have been great on its own. If you don't mind me asking sir, magkano inabot niyo sa Alama custom niyo?

[@randysanchez8188]

lama has a full bodied sound and bassy, martin has a brighter sound and well balance bass and treble

[@oscarcanonigo1987]

Sana all may martin or taylor man lang

[@eamonjosephus]

Martin balanced tone.

[@genesisshile3166]

what mic and audio gamit nyo gusto ko yung tunog nyo sobrang professional

[@botbydblud]

Sir, you can achieve a good sound by using any condenser mic, then use a DAW that you are familiar with. Just remove the unnecessary bass frequencies, EQ it, compress, and just a SMALL amount of reverb. 🙂 Pero bro, I'm still on a quest in searching the "pro" sound. Medyo malayo pa. Hehehe

[@albertmojica4781]

Martin OM42🥰

[@johndeleon992]

The OM42 is insanely good! Pero ganda din talaga ng Alama sir! Came across their page a few days ago, and I can’t stop watching reviews. Would it be possible to ask what the exact specs are for your Alama? Sobrang ganda kase ng sayo sir. And kung magkano umabot all in all? Kase alam ko price starts at 25k. Thank you in advance sir!

[@botbydblud]

Hey man! Based on the F50 of Lowden. But my own bracing. Woods are imported, and I used GOTOH machine tuners! Around 80k bro…. Pero baka mas mahal na ngayon.

[@botbydblud]

But one reason mahal sya kasi this is the FIRST F Shape of Alama. Now that they have the mold and specs, baka cheaper na sya!

[@iamcjan]

[@mikelgeymsige8987]

Martin OM. "Strum it too hard it might break." Seriously? Been in several forums and never heard this happened in any Martin guitars.

[@botbydblud]

Hahaha, I was sarcastic. Hopefully most of you caught that. But because it's my most expensive guitar, (I got this OM42 at about USD5k), I take extra care of it. That's all I meant. I would rather not strum it the way I strum my other guitars. Peace bro!
