I played an old 0-18 last year for the first time. Eversince that day I've been obsessed with it. One day..... ❤️
Just purchased an 0-18. Perfect neck angle and sounds great. Hard to believe so much sound comes out of such a small guitar. Love it!
After looking up the 0-18 on youtube, I went to my local dealer. Tried it for about 5 mins. Did not even bother to play any other guitar as a ref. Sounded so good. Just bought it and it is now my favorite. Amazing!
It will just keep sounding better as time goes by. Check out these strings: Martin MA540FX Tommy's Choice Authentic Flexible Core 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .012-.054 Light guage. I use them on my 00-18L, yes lefty. I think they sound great and find them easy on the fingers. Enjoy your guitar!
So it doesn't sound boxy bright and doesn't lack bass and volume? (Like most small guitars)
@@mikedovsky Thanks :)
@@odedhen7164 NO. Its very balanced and great volume by its size.
You guys are great!
I understand the whole "couch guitar" vibe, but just take note: I have a 00-18, I added a lr baggs anthem sl and I gig with it 3-4 times a week. It is a freaking powerhouse. Absolutely the best guitar I have ever used.
yup!
🎸
Thanks for this interesting comparison. The different sounds were just as I expected, and I prefer the greater fullness of the sound from the double-oh model.
Another outstanding demo, to hear the differences between the single and double "0"s
Thanks for comparing these 2 beautiful Martin, as both of them are my dream guitars. I would love for Quinton to play more finger style picking with them though. Someday when I hit the lotto though. These 2 will be bought really quick.
I love my 00018 Modern Deluxe. I did play a 0018 but preferred the feel and sound of the 00018.
0018 vs ceo7 would be a great comparison video. Please? 😀
Very helpful, thinking which one to buy.
0 is better in my opinion, especially in this case when miked up...so defined and even across the range. my best experience was a 30s 0-15 that was beat to hell and dry as can be, incredible.
018 is my dream guitar
Very nice!
My oo18 came alive when adding medium guage Martin s 540 strings .. tuned down a 1/2 step and its an absolute cannon.
with the 0-18, even as Q strums, I can hear "I Could Drink a Case of You" trying to come out, and the Beatles' "Blackbird". Very cool.
The song is just called ‘A case of you’.
Great guitars, bravisssimi👏👏. O-18 is guitar played by madeleine peyroux? Have you a relaxing sunday!
I can't quite explain it... If you asked me which one sounds "better," I'd probably say the OO, but I think I would buy the single-O.
Oh wow, I love them both! I have a Hd-28 and a D-18. I’m craving a smaller body Martin.
Get one, you will love it...OOO 18 12 fret for me
Try a CEO-7 like he mentions in the video. They’re great little guitars.
I have never understood Martins pricing system - Looking at the 18 series guitars it seems they are the equal of the 21 series so why pay more for the 21? I recently struggled to sell a 00016-RGS which was very much the equal of my friends OM-21 in every respect but the 16 had herringbone rosette and binding - it eventually sold for just over half the asking prices for the used 21's I've seen.
I don't get it. Snob value?
What piece is that at the beginning... love it
I played both of these. Preferred the 00-18 to the 0-18. But I bought the 00-15 because of the narrower nut width. Recently, I found a Martin custom 00-18 style with sinker mahogany back and sides and adi top and the narrower nut width. Sounded like a piano. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford it.
Wow. If you demoed that Custom 0018 at Austin Vintage Guitars, I'll bet you played the guitar I traded for awhile back. I'm sorry you could'nt make it work for you at that time. And like you, I also could not afford it, but after 30 seconds of playing that 00, I knew I had to have it. Like you said, a piano. I was just lucky in that I had some gear to trade. I had to trade in a MUCH loved J45 and a Strat, but don't regret it one bit.
Congratulations! Lovely guitar.
I’ve got the 00-15 too and love it. Trying to find narrower nut width (my preference) is hard in the Martin line up outside the 15 series
Nice comparison. I hear more punch from the 00-18.
I know sound is a preference thing but that 00-18 just sounds so beautiful to me....I have to get it. I love my 000-15 but I also want something with a little more brightness.
Martin small body guitars are great. They all sound nice.
I love jumbos and dreadnoughts. Purchasing an inexpensive, laminate Yamaha with a 000/OM body style was a pleasant eye-opener. The tight waist on some jumbos and 000/OMs helps define their sound (among many other attributes) as it did with that Yamaha. They're both instruments that sound good in some applications. If I had the disposable income, I'd own a whole lot of different acoustic guitars. Helpful demonstration to define their sonic characteristics.
Which did Steve Howe use for "clap"?
Where can I find a thumb pick like Quentin’s ?
Love my 62 00-18. First time i heard it i was mad. I knew i was going to have to buy it, it always be haunted with letting it get away.
Recently I have been seeing a lot of videos on smaller body guitars. Is there a movement going on? I am not sure if I like it, because I will have to buy a new guitar! I need to sell one before I get another one. Nice playing!
Ask Sting
Yup, I started the movement in 1961 with a 1939 00-17.
Still playing 00s.
Currently have a 2015 Martin 00-18 V with flamed mahogany backs and sides.
For I larger sound I play a 1997 0000-1.. one of 370 built.
@@jeffhildreth9244 I am sitting in the middle with a Martin OM-18 Authentic 1933. I would run into a burning building to save this one!
@@jeffshull A trite phrase not intended to insult... "you need to get out more"..
The current Martin Corp, and its products, are nothing like pre CFM IV.
If the CEO 7 is the standard, the standard is low.
Just my opinion.
@@Randorita I would not as it is replaceable. An authentic authentic is not.
I would calculate my chance of survival to retrieve my 1969 D-35 S.
Wonder how that 0-18 would compare with a Taylor GT?
Love my OO18
Kenneth Pattengale, genius player! ❤️
Everyone should have a quality small body guitar. I have a 0015 and a 0-18. So much sound and clarity on these if you love to fingerpick.
Thank you for an excellent video.
I think the 0 has more of a „throaty“ voice which I prefer!
Curious where the Gibson l00 standard sits in this mix. Also I noticed the L00 standard has a torrefied sitka top but there's no mention of it on the original series. I suspect it is as what I've heard sounds similar. Thanks!
I got to try the zero btw my cumpadre’s added collection a martin parlor from the 18th century I must see y hear😮
Is that so
Love Q for sure...a true Murican!
To my ear the new 0-18 and 00-18 sound just a bit more like “old” martins than new D-18s sound like old D-18s. Unmistakable ring!
QUINTON AND MARTIN, ALWAYS TOPS!
🤗🤗🎶
I like 0's. I have eight old 0-18's. 1923 to 1968. One 1946 00-18. The old 0-18's sound great. Old 0-18's used to be more affordable and available.
Years ago I bought 2 guitars after seeing them in Acoustic Letter videos. A 14 fret 00-45 and 12 fret 0-42. Great guitars.
Its impossible for me to hear any difference.
What was that crunch ? Oooooohh !!! Noooo !!!
I stepped on my hearing aids.
Well, t
To be continued. . . . ....
well when you spend $2900 you better get a good sounding guitar ....
It's a crime to built guitars most People can't afford.
Martin has many affordable guitars that still sound great. Check out a 00015
New martins are crap o
tune it properly man and they sound great 😀
So which brands are good (new)?
Why ?
Troll.
Back when a D-18 was my main axe, I bought an O-18 to use for traveling and I ended up using that as my main axe for a lot of my local gigs as well.
