Corey Congilio compares the Martin D-28 and D-35 at Willcutt Guitars

He can also be seen on tour with Furthest Point/Thirty Tigers recording artist Lucie Silvas. Corey is an artist clinician for CF Martin Guitar and lead presenter Universal Audio and can be found presenting for those companies around the world.
It just comes down to what sounds best to your ear. I bought a 2004 D35 that had survived a house fire but had damaged the lacquer finish, so I sanded the body and put some lemon oil on it. Then I had the braces scalloped .
The only problem with it now it that if you hit the bass too hard it busts out the living room windows and the treble shatters my wife's wine glasses like on those Memorex commercials. She had to learn to drink her wine straight out of the bottle instead of using a wine glass.
But I have to remember to lock it in its case at night when the moon is full or it goes out by itself to hunt down D 28's.
😂
@Axel Damian Good for you.
So not folklore, wow!!!
You have a very understanding wife.
Haha Haha 😂
Pretty good illustration of why I chose the D-35 when A/B’ing the two models 47 years ago ... 👍😉
D35 is my absolute favorite guitar. Just fell in love with her since my first playing 25 years ago . Now I own one .
The D28 is a true classic. The D35 is that classic, improved.
Love Corey as a host!
I agree, I am a singer/songwriter and the D-35 is great for that.
I think the D-35 has definitely more body. I also think that the single notes stand out a bit more.
I own a thirty years old Sigma copy of the D-35 and I recognize the personality.
Got 2006 D-28 that sounds like any thing you can dream up, that's that Martin mystic, and a GPC-35 cutaway, that is beyond comprehension, went in for strings, came out with that, glad I did, thanks.
I have a 2005 d-35 and 2009 hd-28. Both are wonderful guitars. If I could only have one of them, well that's one decision I don't want to make. They both keep getting better every year. I'm 76 years old and plan on passing them down to a family member. I had a 1970 d-18 that I left in my car in August for eight hours in a black case and I still morn for that guitar. Slickest day of my life. The reason for the tuners is the original d-35 didn't have open gear tuners and never have.
Wow just found yalls RUclips channel! Got my first guitar at your shop when I was a kid
Martin D-28 or D-35? Can't decide between the two. Does the 3 piece back in the D-35 change the tone? Isn't it better to have a few pieces as possible in the guitar?
Great review. I can really hear what people say is tr difference between these two guitars right here. The D35 absolutely sounds brighter and more balanced while retaining those bass notes and the D28 is again I've read the word "muddier" much more bass heavy here vs the D35.
This video shows why I chose the D-35. Would do so again.
Mine is a 76 D35. I don't think you pointed out that the D35 has a beautifully bound fingerboard.
Martin super j'en possède plusieurs et j'en suis très contente Merci pour votre vidéo 👏👍👏👏
Thank Corey, this was very helpful...I ended up with an HD-35 reimagined it seems a bit more balanced than the D-35
Why play so close to the saddle! This give a top end sound. Try playing over the sound hole.
exactly
Ikr. It is so grating to my ears. Guitars sound best when they are strummed in the middle of the sound hole.
That is the exact place to play properly. The 2 problems here are
1- you are listening on your phone
2- he is recording from his phone
Hi does the Martin d35 plug in? I wanna buy one but I heard it’s not acoustic electric
They both sound virtually the same to me.
I’m a singer/ songwriter, I have a D35 I bought almost 50 years ago. I feel I’m using a Ferrari as a golf cart. I’m not worthy. I’m a finger picker with no great talent. My guitar carries me. I will always love it. Whatever you have to pay, do it.
Hey man who cares....keep driving that Ferrari on the golf course!!
In general I like 28s better because it seemed the 35s were always a bit boomy with the 3 piece backs. But I found a killer 35 that isn't boomy and I like it better than any 28 I have ever played
I know this is an old video but have to raise an eye brow on how he says first “The D-35 is the perfect dreadnought” plays and then says “The D-35 can’t beat a D-28” umm so which is it?
Is that Emerson in the background?
Told us about one of them has a 3 pc back . but avoided showing it to us !
He did show the D35 back at around 2’0” mark
I would never describe a D 28 as aggressive but there you go
Great comparison and very obvious difference. Loved both. I know guitarists have strong opinions on playing style... I really like your percussive feel myself..very nice.
Playing so close to the bridge (and so loud) is not producing the nicest sound on both guitars.
Two of my uncles have D35. They're difficult to play and always sound like the strings are dead. No mid- range tones at all.
You may try new strings . Martin is pretty much a 12 gauge company but , I have a rosewood that takes 11 gage though when I feel puny . they are better for learning songs . (easier) . I have a friend who plays 13 gauge strings . ouch !
@@earlspearl2933 Martin is a 13-gauge company. The D-18, 28, 35, 41 and 42 all come with 13's right from the factory. Their dreadnaughts are meant for 13's.
You should try getting a full set up, nut, bridge, neck adjustment etc. my HD28V needed a neck reset and was sounding that way too for a while. Reset and belly buldge repair totally transformed it. Not to mention new strings. Elixers were a game changer for me. No Martin should sound dead. I bet there is something wrong. I've played plenty of older ones that were not inspiring, but Im sure they all have the potential to get dialed in.
What year is it I feel like the midrange is my favorite sound coming out of my particular d35 ! But mine is a 2023 model .

I was expecting to hear more bass from the D35. Probably just the player or the string set. Then again, new guitars always sound somewhat "green" and need to be played in.
A d35 is a lot deeper. With a lot more volume.
It was his playing style. For some reason, this guy strums nearly at the base of the bridge lol.
u can tell they new real tangy
HD28 is the answer!
3:16〜5:12
Corey, why do you play so close to the bridge? Odd playing sound.
I'm sorry, but I can't get past the 'Thump, Thump, Thump' of the player's style. It's almost like he's playing a Conga on the top of both guitars. Either his pick is entirely too thick, or he's really beating those strings and bringing out that 'Thump' sound in the guitar. It makes it sound like a Cigar Box.
Greg Demoes Ahahahaha! This guy came to a guitar demo video and got mad that the man strummed the guitar😂.
D-35 has more balance in high pitch is more D-28 noisy
Zerrtt
Why play so choppy? Just strum nice and easy and let the guitar do it's job. That was a poor example my opinion.
Love your vids, but your sound is low. Way low.
Strumming too close to the bridge, probably using 0.11 strings... thin and dry. Try again with 0.12s and mid-rosette... try not to hit the guitar as if it were a drum...
Nothing wrong with his style of playing. Unlikely to be strung with anything other than mediums.
try not to be an asshole
He's in a music store? Right, all Martins come with med. 13-56 SP Phosphor Bronze strings.He picks a little far back for my taste, he isn't on the saddle has some has commented.

I like his percussive playing :)
