You looking straight into the camera, no, right into my eyes! And saying “it’s beautiful”… I didn’t know I needed that until you gave it to me. Thank you Mike.

[@scottparrish5992]

My favorite Martin: My late father's 1963 D18. He played it loud and long and it is a cannon. Every mark on the neck was made with his hands. It is a treasure as an heirloom and an instrument

[@robertdiehl1281]

Very cool video. Had a similar experience. Played everything else out there. Found a guitar i felt had songs in it. Took it to my luthier and had him set it up for how i play, considering he knew me well enough. What a magical experience it has been with that guitar. OM 28.

[@tacticalfrog0152]

My dream guitar (in general, not just among Martins) is a standard series D-28. It is my “holy grail” guitar.

[@Komradd]

I get that the clickbait titles get, well, clicks, but for what it’s worth I’d love an occasional video with a title and concept that isn’t laced with hyperbole and absolutes. I used to get a kick out of all your videos but over time the titles and your approach have started to come off as lacking authenticity. Just be you, Mike, not what the algorithm says will get the most views. That’s why so many of us subscribed in the first place.

[@skye7690]

Taylor’s been kicking it lately, so I’m sure Martin needs some kind of response to compete.

[@area51803]

Not even lately, for the last 10 years

[@kevinhill6079]

I dunno. I think Martin has done a good job maintaining the same 'classic' instrument they've always had. Taylor makes a superb instrument, no doubt, but I've always loved the clunky thumpy sound from a Martin. I'm more of a folk/bluegrass player when I have an acoustic in my hands, though.

[@alandfaraway552]

Taylors are too bright. Martins aren't clunky they are woody sounding and great.

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

Martin has been kicking it for 150 plus years for me.

[@alandfaraway552]

@@andorrasrevenge1683 yea Martin is hard to beat. A salesguy at Gruhns guitars in Nashville said Taylor's have no soul. Once you play a Martin and it opens up it's just beautiful.

[@IssamUAhmed]

Loved Daniel's song...chills inducing

[@kennygee83]

The best ones I've played are the OM21, D35 and a CEO7. My old GPCPA4 Rosewood was a beast too.

[@2thumbsdown]

I want to hear the rest of Daniel's song! Great video. I have a Martin B1 bass that I am very fond of. My guitar playing is so mediocre I don't deserve any Martin acoustic guitar. I play a Taylor GS Mini and probably don't deserve it either.

[@stuartmortensen6033]

Just bought a Martin D-16e Rosewood. I love it. The dream is an HD-28

[@jameshickson8174]

D28’s are so nuts bro

[@MHJLee90]

My dream guitar was and is the OMJM. I only recently bought one a few months ago and it's my favourite guitar that I've ever played. I used to think that the HD-28 would have been my dream, but OMs are so comfortable to play and so many Martin OMs have really good resonance and beauty to their sound :)

[@GlacierSound]

How the hell can you afford that is the real question?

[@MHJLee90]

@@GlacierSound I was very lucky. My friend gifted me a guitar and I could trade up from there

[@dannylaurence8089]

I’ve been in love with 000/OM Martins since ‘92. Although any of the higher end D’s are pretty high on my want list.

[@Jonathancs999]

This was the best video that i see today fr

[@markymark3au]

I’ve had a few and they have all been great, but my favourite is the 000-28EC.

[@Andreh78]

Just got my dream Martin this summer, which is also the OM-28. Plays like a dream. The only other dream Martin I can think of would be the OM-42.

[@lbarj]

Lovely guitar.

[@stevetreadaway3254]

Christmas 2022 I got the D42 Modern Deluxe, awesome guitar.

[@geoffreytodd]

I've loved the Martin 000-15 for a long time due to the tones and my guitar inspirations play that one. However, I havent played that one. I've plated the GPC-2XE and loved that one. Sound and playability was awesome. I played the 000CJR-10E StreetMaster and it didnt feel right to me. Body was too small for my liking. I have yet to play the 000-15 SM to validate it as my favorite Martin. Have also yet to buy one. Played a used SC-10E once too that was awesome. I need to save up a bit more money and spend some time playing the guitars again to determine which one to buy.

[@flop2river471]

You explaining how you like the lighter colored spruce top as you put a ding on your friend's with your pick...OUCCCCCH

[@galoguitarrista]

LOL! The video is great, but the ending really got me! 😂

[@Bomethius]

I thought I wanted a D35 a few weeks back, and then I played an OM28… it’s just so much more comfortable to play.

[@danielfritz954]

If i had infinite Money i would order a Custom made OO-18 with Engelmann Spruce top and Cocobolo back and sides, Neck Joint at 12th fret and Slotted Headstock. And whole lotta mother of toilet seat inlays !!!

[@macoper8er]

Cool video! My 000-28 for me!

[@landoctor94]

I’d go for a 000-18 or a D-28

[@andersfernbach2399]

I need to try an M-36, pretty sure that would be my dream Martin

[@kennygee83]

They are fantastic! Definitely try one if you can get your hands on one.

[@joeykahng6219]

Hmmmm… that is a very nice sounding guitar. 🤙🏼

[@allenmitchell09]

I love witnessing Mike's Mayer fandom.

[@mikeadams4605]

I only own 1 acoustic guitar. A Martin OM-21 It’s a beauty

[@fender7695]

Yoooo the Coldplay yellow tone was spot on.

[@KT-fn6me]

The top gets darker over time, the omjm will eventually get as dark

[@mderning]

Love Martin OM's but the one that's taking me out of here is a Collings OM2GC - sit across from one of those and you'll know

[@paxxous]

Yeah

[@williamconway4460]

Martin seems cool . . .I always wanted a Breedlove . . .but I ended up buying a $600 acoustic by Rondo Music by Agile - This was a good episode with Mike, but a trip into Korea, Indonesia, and China will reveal guitars (acoustic) most people haven't tried. I'm sure the best acoustic to get is the Martin - archtops are interesting, too . . .

[@shadowedge729]

My dream Martin is the D-18e

[@md770]

My dream Martin has always been a D-45

[@gouvernor]

Just bought my dream Martin not long ago. 000-28 for me though

[@ethanmorris4111]

I had een in the market for a nice acoustic for awhile, then the decision ultimately ended up being the Martin om-28. Let me tell ya, as an owner of this guitar it IS the best guitar ever made

[@spaghettimeatballswow]

My dream Martin would probably be a D28

[@manyvibes1540]

Curious to know how the acoustic “purists” feel about a tone wood magnetic amp as opposed to pickups?

[@thomasmorgan7944]

I have one hooked up to my taylor gs mini maghgany and it makes it sound so good! of course we after market the pickups in order to attach it but best money i spent for an add on for my acoustic guitar!

[@manyvibes1540]

O. I didn’t know it required a pickup to be installed too. I thought the backbrace inside the soundhole (adhered with tape) sort of functioned as that. Thanks for inspiring me to research it more!

[@thomasmorgan7944]

@@manyvibes1540 it works exactly as you said but if don’t want to install A pickup like that they sell for 90 dollars something over the soundhole that is or acts like a pickup.

[@jamesdellinger6704]

The tops of acoustic guitars get darker as they age

[@richardturbine1769]

Re: pickups. Having now owned two guitars with K& K Pure Mini pickups, I would never fit an under saddle again, no matter how over-priced, whoops, sorry, expensive. Quite a few high makers use K&Ks and I can see why; they sound better than any under-saddle to my ears and the only work on the guitar required is a hole for the end-pin jack: they are not hard to drill if you are fairly handy.

Martin is for BLUES 🎶 Taylor is for pop / Rock

[@kevinhill6079]

... and BLUEGRASS...

[@GizzyDillespee]

Martin is for bluegrass. For blues, an old birch Harmony/Kay archtop, or an old resonator, will get the right sound a little bit more effortlessly for much cheaper. A Martin can do it all, but you'll pay for it🤣. And you'll have to use your playing skills to make it sound less "rich", less highs and lows, more mids. If you buy a Martin for blues, I'd recommend a smaller one, for that very reason. More punch, more mids, but less volume overall.

Gotta say....you guys were talking about how beautiful the guitar looked....and im gonna be honest, it looks like any old boring guitar. Taylor makes some spectacular looking guitars. Sound-wise I have no comment but have you seen taylors koa wood guitars? They are 1000X more beautiful than this martin. Favourite martin is the D42 again not because it looks good, because it sounds spectacular.

[@KT-fn6me]

There’s beauty in simplicity

first. love your content Mike :)

[@francescodefendi3201]

First time here. Then I checked other videos. Words… words… words… words… blah…blah… blah… I read from the description: I’m a musician… 🤔. Please, less words, more sounds on guitar …since you’re a musician.. can you? It’s not just about storytelling… it’s about have something to say/play…through guitars. Too difficult? Just my 2 cents…
