I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, we aren’t just hearing two different guitars but two different players. It really makes these comparisons pointless. One player should just play both guitars and then switch. That would be much more helpful. Otherwise, good battle!
Not really a fair battle - torrified vs standard, 2 different players. Really love your channel though guys, you are evolving and becoming more enjoyable to watch. Keep the battles going! Everyone loves that!
One year ago I entered a a shop to buy a Collings om2 and I went out with an Atkin Om essential, instead. I had never ever heard of Atkin guitars before that day. I just fell in love deeply, even if I had dreamed about the Collings for years.
To my ears, having played both brands, I agree with them. I also can hear it in their playing even though they’re very different players. Atkin captures the vintage sound and Collings dominates the modern sound. Love em both. Either way this is a really awesome comparison to do. Good on ya fellowship

Same here, no more need to be said
Same here!
would love to see furch vintage om 3 v Martin om 28
Both beautiful but I prefer the Collings, at least for finger style.

Have you done a Martin 000-42 vs Taylor 914 ? I would find that interesting and useful. Thanks for this great series
The Collings looks 30% better but the Atkin sounds 100% better.
I like the Atkin 😁
Substantial difference in tone. Atkin is the clear winner to my ear but tbh Ive never found the collings tone all that appealing.
Awesome video :D Have u guys ever done a video comparing a martin OM-28 and a HD-28?
No we haven't yet! I've noted it :)
sweet :D
The difference in sound is substantial. Collings for the win for me.
Atkin for me
Great choice!
Collings is brighter, to be expected.
Atkins wins hands down. Sister Golden Hair by America
I've played Atkins in the past and they are great, and I give my vote to this one against the Collins.
You're correct! On the song that is ;)
Atkins by far..
No flatpicking? Come on boys...

100% correct!
