Played this in my house last night and the neigbors threw a brick through my window to hear it better.
the shortest story that kept me on the edge of my seat.
You sgould have played "Another brick in the wall" for them.
I'll have to remember that one.
This model shows us the true definition of acoustic guitar
I tested a bunch of left handed Martins at our local music shop up here in Anchorage Alaska.
I had the means, fortunately, to purchase any guitar I wanted. I tested a D-18, D-28, HD-28, D-35, D-45, and a D-28 modern Deluxe.
After a day playing between each guitar, I chose the D-18 for the sound I heard out of that particular instrument.
I traveled to Japan and came back with a 2022 D18. I have not picked up my other guitars very much since. I got it for a god price of $1775. Mint. If any one is headed that way.
Man..... I have an HD-28, J-45, and a D-18. The one that makes me smile the most is the D-18. Something about its simplicity and crystal clear tone.
That is the quintessential Martin sound. How a dread should sound
This is one of the best sounding D18 I heard in RUclips. Sounds better that other guitars tested on that channel.
I bought a D-28 recently, but that was mainly because of the fact that I wanted something very different from the J-45 I already had. I love the sound of my D-28, but I also played the D-18 and I think I actually preferred the sound of the 18.
O man, I thought buying electrics was difficult. Buying acoustics is much harder and much more addictive.
Glad you're back, Ian.
I agree about preferring the sound of the D-18. The D-18 inquires Mahogany where as the D-28 does not, the mahogany tends to provide a deeper resolution sound; I won't even consider a Martin unless it is Mahogany like the D-16gt or D18 etc., I won't consider an acoustic unless it's a Martin, period. haha. :-) A higher priced guitar is not always better. The D-28 felt and sounded somewhat bland to my ear compared to the D-18 in the past. Yes, one golden acoustic stands far and beyond from others compared to electrics. It's difficult to find the acoustic one requires when one knows what sound and tone they are going for. Super good to be particular and picky on your choice of acoustic. Cheers.
@@ryancarlisle2931 I completely agree. I went and played all the martins one day and ended up getting a d-18. I mostly play bluegrass music and there’s no other guitar that even comes close to the tone of the d-18.
I got my D-18 (built in 2021) a few months ago, and although it is a little too big for me (small woman ^^) I love it so much! 🥰 Every time I play it, it brings tears in my eyes, the sound is amazing! ❤❤❤
Hey Miriam 👋
I've got a 2021 that rings for days. It's all all you would want in a D18 ❤ I love it
Martin's seem to do that; the resonating deeper warmer sounds and tones. They can derive the sounds of all feelings. :-). You must be playing pretty stuff to derive tears, it happens to me as well when I play, or even singing; choke up sometimes. Music should do that to our hearts. This is lovely, thank you. Treat her well. :-) Change them strings often ;-). I recommend Elixir's Phosphor Bronze strings....:-) Keep the same gauge the guitar comes with. :-) Martin's are the true acoustic guitars out there, there is nothing else like them. I loved the Elixir strings on my Martin D-16 GT (Not to be confused with your D-18). :-) Take care.
Ive been playing for forty two tears and in 2016 I finally purchased my first D18. It is the only guitar I will take on stage with me. All the others seem like poor imitations of what an acoustic should sound like.
Miriam! I have the same!
That clarity and midrange is sublime.
I've bought a Martin 000-15m which i have installed an electroacoustic pickup 2 years ago and i love it, and last December i bought a Martin D-18 and now i have to say I'm good for life. These guitars are sublime , the D -18 is a quality fantastic guitar and I'm in love with the tone and finish and this one i will not install anything in , i keep it full acoustic
Isn't life just beautiful?
God that is rich. Is the D-18 the best guitar Martin ever made? I think so.
That's an amazing guitar. Probably the best D18 I've heard
I just bought a 2021 D-18. They are producing some quality 18's. Mine is an absolute gem with a comfort zone bigger than normal...and it can take a pounding. For the price it's hard to beat.
Best sounding D18 on yt for sure
Nice clarity and chime to this one. Glad to see another one of your videos
Love a d18 , and your playing is awesome
Bravo Ian, I dream of owning this guitar one day!
Sounds perfect! And great playing Ian.!
Boy, that sounds amazing! Great playing too, Ian. Best "shut up & play the guitar" reviews on RUclips.
Really appreciate the kind words Terry
Hello Ian. Nice to have you back.
Wow does that beauty ring!
Love my D-18
You have played both this an texan USA. Which impressed you most. Cheers.
I have always leaned towards Gibsons, but this sounds phenomenal
So yeah got me a 2018 D-18....love that thing, but.... Really Martin , can you make a glue that does not let go on the binding? Had to have the binding repaired twice now
Mine is a 2013 and had the same issue twice
so warm
thank you for your video and excellent playing - you know how to treat a Martin. Thanks to you I have a D-18 now - a cherished addition to my studio family of guitars
Whouaaaa Martin!!!!!
so nice! can‘t wait to own one myself one day!
Update: I just bought my own D-18 !!!
Excellent demo once again! I’m hesitating between a J45/J50 and a D18. The D18 sounds and feels great, but it lacks a bit of rock’n’roll attitude. The Gibsons look and sound great, but the build quality doesn’t seem to match Martin’s. Aaaargh, so hard! 😀
Are you Dutch by any chance?
I own a J-45 and a D-28. I love both, but if I would lose every single guitar I have, the first guitar I’d buy would be a D-18.
When I bought my J-45 I was really happy and I couldn’t find any flaws, but the new Martins take quality to another level. They both feel completely different as well. On paper the D-18, factory equipped with .013’s and a longer scale length off course, should be harder to play than the J-45 (shorter scale length and a set of .012/.053). But they both feel amazing. The best thing you can do is finding a store where they have a couple of both and then play them for a while. All of them.
@@mariodriessen9740 I agree. The new Martins are the best guitars I’ve ever played. Quality and craftsmanship is unmatched.
So good to see a Martin demo from you again, Ian. Lovely job! Does this one sound a little mellower than most D18s?
This one sounds more ‘trebly’ than my D18 (2020). Mine has a bit more boom!
The melody starting from 2.12 sounds so familiar to me... love it! Does anyone know what it is? Thank you 😊
Love Martin. I have 2004 d28 that is a work horse guitar for me. My next will be a d18 then 000. I have a Martin dxe12 string that gets the job done.
I have a 2018 d-18e.... This definitely sounds different somehow. Very smooth sounding. Is this just my ear, or did they make some changes for 2022?
I’m pretty sure they made changes to the bracing patterns in this years model that gives it the different tone. I remember reading that they changed back to the scalloped pattern, but I’m also not a Martin expert so I could be wrong here.
What brand strings medium or light?
I believe that Ian always uses EJ16's
So I have a Martin HD-28 and I have that same microphone (bought it because I love how your videos sound), but mine doesn't sound like that. I have it positioned at the 12th fret. What am I doing wrong?
28 is rosewood, 18 is mahogany. They're not going to sound the same, so you're probably not doing anything wrong.
