The Captain doesn’t give himself enough credit, that was a wonderful jam. Pete was looking on like a proud father

[@emmaradio6893]

50% of quarantine just watching and re-watching new and old videos alike. Thank you for being awesome!

[@andertons]

Glad to of helped you get through lockdown! Thanks for tuning in. 🤘

[@benlogan430]

Ditto my man! I think I’ve commented at least twice for every video now? ahahaha

[@cherifshawky4846]

I bought one today and am so happy with this instrument.Loving it.

[@cortML]

As soon as I saw this Martin I wanted it and have been waiting for an Andertons review ever since! Thank you guys, you make reviews so interesting and great to watch. Keep up the good work 👌🏻

[@barblothe3366]

This is one heck of a guitar. The addition if the tuner is great. And it’s beautiful in its simplicity.

[@xxtwnz2919]

You’re so right. Given how great it sounds but with a modern adjustable neck and a stable laminate (but all real wood) body, it will be much cheaper to own and maintain than a normal Martin guitar. You’ll never have to pay for an expensive neck reset or the hit it takes to your guitar’s value. I have a D-18 MD and an HD-28 and I still want one of these. I think it is the beginning of another classic and 80 years from now people will be dying to get one like they do for a pre-war D-28 or D-18.

[@LaughMuBai]

What a great review thank you! Love the sound, look, versatility and tech of this guitar, which is everything I want - box ticked.

[@scottsanders1960]

Great opening jam! I also liked that you showed that acoustic solos can be played in different styles.

[@andertons]

We always try to show the guitar in all lights, not just our favourite. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘

[@ALewis942]

Just had my new Martin 0-15M arrive yesterday, love it. And love your playing guys! So Tasty!

[@BT-th5zv]

Thanks Guys! These video's are much appreciated.

[@pcau]

Thank you so much for this informative video. Quite interesting guitar that should be tried out while in the process of buying one. You guys are amazing :)

[@angusyoung9594]

Lee, your playing has improved dramatically since I first started watching Andertons videos way back when. So tasty! Oh, and when I grow up I want to be Danish Pete.

[@Slug-Anderson]

Nice vid as always! The guitar looks and sounds lovely!

[@aphexdouble]

great content as always guys 👍

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in... Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SingSurfStrum]

I’ve been waiting for your opinion on this..great video as always. I love the shape, when they have a sunburst I am in

[@christopher7310]

Great video gents. Made the morning awesome. You two sound great with those guitars

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in Christopher, glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘

[@unitoftemp]

Intro sounds like Slowhand's live acoustic tone. Id love to own one.

[@killsing01]

The "Exciter" gets me all excited! Seriously, what a fantastic guitar. I MUST POSSESS one!

[@johnwelch557]

What a cool guitar. You fellas play with excellent expression. Thanks!

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in! 🤘

[@billyford1992]

Bought one! Love it. Thanks for the videos

[@tombowater2589]

Great video again! Captain gets better each Jam 🎸

[@davidbream3244]

I have one and play it through a Fender Acoustic Overdrive and a Fishman Tonedeq into an AER 60. Unbelieveably happy with it. So easy to play and really bridges the gap between my electrics and other Martins. Taste and try before you buy, don't just knock it.

[@ChrisGarmon]

Oooh, I've been waiting for this video

[@glenproctor1999]

Beautiful sound from the mic and the pickup.

[@mwpv11]

This guitar is great for a working musician who plays acoustic. My son uses it for his Tommy Emanuel Tunes and it's great.

[@fretted]

Have on order...if they ever get stock again! Thanks for all this info!

[@1972Georges]

Lee you sound great on a acoustic!! SERIOUSLY

[@conradsenior5843]

Might be your best ever review. Thanks.

[@leightnite3056]

Brilliant opening jam!

[@davidyoung8875]

watching this again. is Pete crying? lol. my favorite channel. check every morning for new stuff. Makes me want to play.

[@Jay-vs4fi]

Oo baby, Mr captain has been practicing over lockdown 😍😍😍😋

[@leea1037]

I bought one last month. Walked into my local dealer thinking about a new Tele and bought this instead. I totally fell in love with the neck and how it plays. Got home and immediate Put it through a marshal with a lot of gain. It was brilliant! Well done to Martin for doing something different. One thing, I don’t tour, unless moving it from the living room to the kitchen counts, So I may have to send it back!

[@jeromeleoterry]

Ok, I want one of those guitars now. You sold me

[@devilsbackmike6420]

Big Red Ben you own that sound, I will recognize you playing from a mile away.

[@pauldncn1]

I need one ! Love them

[@pcmountaindog]

I like this guitar above all the older classic Martins. Not everyone will want it but like they said, electric players who want an acoustic my choose this one. I think it sounds greats.

[@DefenderTIM]

Having performed a number of dovetail neck resets over the years I'm definitely open to the adjustable neck joint concept.

[@nolanr7679]

I knew right away this would be a great jam

[@gbrinks1957]

could listen to you guys play that all night!

[@chrismccannIRL]

That’s one of the nicest gig bags I’ve seen

[@dalecauthen9086]

nice fingerstyling for an "electric guy" :) love the guitar ... I want one ... it's probably my next guitar ... thank you both for the great indepth review

[@ku812fubar4]

Wow!!!! Love it

[@baratastudio1982]

Love it !!!

[@coachstolfi1012]

1.) Ovation made this “same” guitar about 40 years ago...electric-style neck, acoustic-electric, plays like an electric guitar, funky new design (round back, shallow round back), etc. They were way ahead of their time. 2). Who would buy an SC-13E? Me. I’ve been looking an electricky acoustic for a while. Didn’t like the acoustic sound from the Acoustasonic or the T5z.

[@clench13]

I want ones of these. I just wish they had a vintage burst version. I’d buy it today!

[@davemaid6741]

Just bought one!I love it.A little pricey and mexican made but a great guitar

[@1066wastrel]

Agree, a great recording sound but, the Australian guitars that Ben showcased I thought sounded exceptional, mind you, when I hear Ben play guitar, I feel like crying! A real acoustic talent!

[@neiladdison5614]

I’m looking for a Martin to buy myself for my 40th. I don’t think it’ll be this one but I love watching Martin vids regardless! All good research!

[@shawnadams1693]

Neil Addison Have you played an Eastman? I did, side by side with Martins, and I really wanted the Martins to be better......but they weren’t. The Eastmans were better in every way, but I bought neither. Can’t bring myself to replace my perfectly fine Taylor.

[@billx8245]

Whenever I get in a rut I breakout my Capo , and move it up and down the neck. It always gets the juices flowing again..

[@petermarkovic8837]

I have one of these, for me its a keeper :) nice demo guys! People debate whether or it's solid wood or laminated guitar. Technically Laminated, I think of it as a Solid.- | - International marketing consultant, Steve Harvey. says “It’s essentially solid mahogany with a thin - we call it ‘fine’ - koa veneer over the top to give it some bling.”

[@edpack4390]

I can't wait to try one out. I already have some nice all wood acoustics but I really like this one. I'd probably replace the electronics tho....

[@marcmcbride1212]

Need that intro as a backing track for sure!

[@anshumansingh3252]

Am I the only one who's so in love with that sweet twangy sound of an acoustic electric plugged into an amp? oof I could listen to the intro jam all day. Great playing and a fantastic demo lads!

[@Ronsat]

Yes.

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

LOL, yeah, I think you may be. I think it's more of a "fingernails vs blackboard" sound.

[@RogerThat902]

Before I started playing I liked it, then other players that hate the sound got in my head and I convinced myself that I don't like it hah

[@philipmumford7871]

Yes. You are the only one 🤣

[@wowlegioncaptbloodcapt9637]

Great review I have a Les Paul & a Hummingbird which I find a little on the large side for practicing . This is a super option for the acoustic practice and playing, with great heritage and innovation with a mangeable and easy to play feel. Sounds super too!

[@georgekcovert]

You guys are right on

[@donbristow5440]

If I had the Captains money and the Danes talent I would own one of these. My D28 is a great guitar but these sounded great. Great jam guys.

[@John-ic6zo]

The most radical Martin I have ever seen. Designed (I suspect ) in response to the Taylor V class braced guitars. The big fat X in the sound hole,which says to me.."We are Martin.We brace our guitars this way". And the neck joint "You want a bolt on neck? Have a look at this!". Listening to the demo via my Android tablet and reasonable quality headphones, I thought it sounded thin and tinny and quacky. It did not sound like an acoustic guitar to me. I wonder what it sounds like unplugged?

[@brandonthompson8640]

a bit above my price range lol, but god are they gorgeous. and great intro jam as always, guys

[@Stangil1]

Pete watches Lee like a proud poppa.

[@nc-ix6si]

Ten times out of ten, a mic'd acoustic sounds better than a piezo

[@williambaumert7726]

The prs?

[@Ruefus]

And 10 times out of ten, there is a limit to how loud a mic'd acoustic can get before feeding back.

[@nc-ix6si]

@@Ruefus fair point

[@pedersenist]

This is not piezo. So I don't think you statements is right.

[@karlcountry2363]

@@pedersenist at marker11:30 they say it’s a piezo.

[@justinhobgood4312]

Perceivment.... Pete making new words every day

[@nickvavro]

Tried one out for myself yesterday. The nicest feeling acoustic I've played, but it is definitely pretty quiet. But damn does it play well.

[@olavjorvik94]

MUCH prefer these two legends showing the acoustics than Ben. Ben is a brilliant player. But I watch these for the laughs and banter as much as actually wanna hear and learn about the guitars. Plus his thumb pic puts me off😂 Until Rob and Bea is fully back, I’ll watch these two, and ONLY them❤️❤️ And Nathan OBVIOUSLY. He’s the funniest of the lot😂 Love him

[@StringsOfCrossroads]

I think Martin have priced this right! Still expensive but not really expensive in the acoustic world so I think it’s reasonable enough and different enough that acoustic players will add it to their collection and if an electric player was looking to try acoustic they haven’t been priced at either as it’s similar price to a US strat/tele. Would love to see some different exotic woods on this model in the future.

[@gradun123]

3 months after purchase and loving this guitar. Swapped out the Fishman and installed a Baggs Anthem SL. Great review guys and wonderful playing..

[@JohnnyB15]

Hey, how difficult was the install of the Baggs? I heard it’s super fiddly

[@gradun123]

@@JohnnyB15 Hi Johnny, apologies for the late reply. Yes, there's not much room on the bridge plate for the Baggs mic. If I remember rightly, I had to mount it in such a way that the mic overhung a little at the front edge of the bridge plate. However, it did work..

[@JohnnyB15]

@@gradun123 That’s great thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@adamstewart247]

Good call....get rid of the Fishman 🦆quack

[@ptrisonic]

You're separate again! Had a row? Btw I like those - the sounds are like the guitar I played but through KZbin, I forgot: Nice deepish body...... Best, Pete.

[@brentporter9324]

Watching and waiting for this design in a 16+ series with solid rosewood or mahogany back and sides. Fingers crossed.

[@kalvino67]

Would love to see it in a d18 design!

[@Espec_Music]

You guys should make a video using Guitars in styles they weren't made for, and testing if the type of guitar really does affect what you play. For Example, using an ESP James Hetfield Snakebyte made for metal to play Jazz

[@Newnodrogbob]

Better still, play it once with the “right” guitar and once with the “wrong” one as a blind test.

[@mikearmitage4147]

I’ll definitely be checking one of these out. I’m hoping this guitar is trying to cater for the gap left by the 000c-16 and 000-16, which both had the best feeling neck around. Any chance you guys could look at acoustic guitars using acoustic IRs at some point please? CS guitars did a quick look at them in a vid but it needs half an hour with you guys to get down to the nitty gritty of it I feel.

[@andertons]

It's really worth checking out, a comfortable & easy to play neck paired with an access that feels like an electric guitar. The closest we have come to a IR acoustic video is looking at the ToneDexter. Check it out & let us know if it hits the spot or what else we could use! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_Mq3qchLCGf6c

[@johnhiscutt1853]

Great playing if only I could afford one 👍

[@davebechtel7930]

I would like to hear this using the Tonewood amps. Great jam.

[@rustbeltgypsy3713]

Would you guys be down for doing a comparison test with the Alvarez masterworks vs Epiphone Masterbilt? AJ45 vs Ad60 or Texan and or comparible...along with one up and one down for more in depth comparing..??? Thanks fellas Ps I would request you two from this video play the guitars and the Skinny guy..lol

[@ChaosEnigma1978]

Yeah if you guys could jam on these for an hour and put up a video that would be great. That was awesome.

[@kiarnturner9739]

I occasionally play capo 11 on my Masterbilt Epi (it has a cutaway) and it's perfectly doable so I don't think it's that different on this guitar if 12th doesn't really work. (My capo is a clip on though)

[@idessaoutlaw]

Lightnin Hopkins would love it😎🎸 I know I do. 🎶🎸🤠

[@RaysTrack]

As a long time acoustic player I'm excited by a 13 fret cutaway but I'd not buy one until they make a cedar top with solid back and sides - IR or Koa.

[@brocluno01]

Lee figured it out. It's all about experimenting. New shape, new sounds :)

[@lacinapetr]

That in between guitar is Yamaha apx5a for 20 years and more ;-)

[@Kevin-oe8fp]

It’s not a bolt on neck it’s fixed with the dovetail running parallel to the top of the guitar instead of running perpendicular which is the traditional Martin method.

[@rjreddenbaker4351]

I'm getting a new guitar later this year and after about a hundred hours of research I've decided this is going to be the one. What a gorgeous guitar. I've been performing with a DCX series for several years and the old girl is in need of enough work to make the new guitar the best course of action. This guitar looks and sounds perfect for the sound I want with my looping setup (although I will change to .12 gauge strings). Can't wait to hear it in MY studio! I will probably run it through my Fishman Aura box live, as that box really does a nice job of covering some of the piezo sound and provides for some wonderful tones, even with my low-end DCX series Martin.

[@Junior1385]

its cool to play electric in a fine 👌 acoustic guitar

[@matthewbradley9430]

[@jordanthomasgray]

Best acoustic guitar for a nice, clear, warm sound while fingerpicking, but also low action and easy to play?

[@remyQuillmeister]

Would it be correct to say that intro jam and the one at 17:10 is Major Blues? I need to know how that's done.

[@everetbaker7619]

What was that chord progression at the beginning? It was absolutely fantastic.

[@frmcf]

I hear something like: E - G#7 - A - B7 But he's adding something to the B7, maybe an 11th (E)? And just nice voicings I guess. The third time round it goes to an A#dim7 instead of the B7. And then I think just A to B and back in at the beginning. I think.

[@stevezipp7615]

Can you play this guitar through an amp like a Princeton reverb or better to use an acoustic amp?

[@bradleyjenkins8715]

Wanted one, cant get over the shape. Martin make a dreadnot version!

Kind of loses some of the point of approximating electric feel if you can't reach above the 14th fret though...
