No one else does these super short samples before switching guitars and it’s awesome thank you. So much easier to tell the difference vs hearing 3 min of one than the other.
The J-45 is great for what it is. Warm, comfortable, easy to play, nostalgic tone, beautiful. But the D-28 is just another animal. One of the greatest guitars (a proper one) ever conceived. IMHO. The luck ones own both.
The Gibson is the more pleasing guitar to my ears in this video. I've owned many of both. That is one of the "great" Gibsons. The Martin needs some time compared to the Gibson. They open up over time. Strings change the sound a lot. This video just shows two great instruments. There's one that is short scale (The Gibson) and it is easier to bend strings, etc. The Martin has a stronger sustain quality and more metallic rosewood tone and a more ornamented, orchestral, classy sound. Gibsons are pretty versatile, but they hang really well in Country, Blues, Americana, Rock, etc, not so much open tunings and classical/celtic/pretty stuff. For a singer/songwriter/rock/americana/hard core touring musician I would vote the Gibson and for a composer/bluegrass/folk artist or someone into making it sing like an angel I'd vote the Martin. The Gibson would be much easier to record, because of the focused bass and mahogany back and sides. The Martin would be more a challenge to mic and not have it "boom" out on your recording. Martin's rosewood dreadnoughts when mic'd do tend to put out a lot of bass and wash out the mids slightly in recordings, although the brightness of the Martin "excites" a recording. Also, in my experience the Gibson tends to come off like a "song box" that from a listener point of view doesn't take as much the attention away from the vocals as much as a D-28's ornate attention grabbing would, hence why it is favored by singer/songwriters. This has all been my experiences, folks.
I own a D28 Reimagined. Sounds like heaven. But...what you say it’s absolutely true, very hard to record it because of the natural enhanced boom around 180-200 hz, especially on FingerPicking. You need a well-balanced room and a bigger distance from the Mic in most of the cases. Anyway...when I play the D28 soft on low dynamics, I think it’s the most musical and inspiring thing you could ever hear.
@@veewooks924 I'm not an expert, just have a lot of experience with these guitars being in my arsenal over the years. I've owned some smaller body guitars and swear by 00-18 and OM-21 guitars. You should factor in what neck you are comfortable with. Martin tends to assume everyone likes 1 3/4 nuts. I have gone out of my way to make sure all my instruments are 1 11/16 at the most. I also use .11-52 strings and dunlop .73 triangle picks sometimes .88. Everyone is on their own trajectory, but that works for me. Cheers and happy new year!
@@LiknonP I had a D-28 a few years ago and sold it. Amazing sounding guitar but yes to recording difficulties. Best luck I had was pointing the mic straight to where the neck meets the body and being at least a few feet back. I can close mic a mahogany guitar much easier and usually not even worry about EQ. I highly recommend checking a vintage Guild D-50 out.
@@Dan_Frechette_Songwriter I’m stuck between a D-18, J-45 or a 000/OM. I’d prefer a short scale. Torn between the fuller sound of a dread vs. ease of playability/portability. Happy new year!
Very educational comparison. Thanks! IMO the D-28 had better sustain and high harmonics. This should work for it but sometimes it actually works against it. It might sound too "busy", like too many things happen at the same time. I'd prefer the J-45 for strumming, especially Blues/Rock and comping voice. It's a great singer-songwriter guitar. I'd prefer the D-28 for anything else.
youtube was on autoplay and hear this great playing in the kitchen and came back to my p.c. and was shocked this wasn't just an album playing; thought it was an album. What the hell? This is great playing. I love the sound of the guitars. Thank you for this video. Saving it for sure! Young man, you are really talented.
for singer songwriters trying to decide -- sing along with the two dif. guitars while recording voice on phone, and listen back to which guitar is more compatible with your vocal tone! I just did it and I like the sound of the J45 best BUT - my voice sounds better with a D28!! -- so THAT's what my Decision has to be based on. Thank you for this Video !!!!
Good job, nice rendition of Country Roads... John would be proud. I've been wanting a J-45 for years. I've had a Martin for a long time but I honestly think you need both.
I've been getting more and more geared up to start playing acoustic more seriously. I've always owned really nice electrics because that what I major in, and I'm a big time Gibson guy. LP's and 335's have been my go-to's for several decades with a few Strats and tele's thrown in when needed. Having said that, I've never owned a Martin or Gibson acoustic. When I listen to this comparison (very well done, by the way), the Martin has much better brights when picked that way, more clarity whether picking or strumming, and the lows were better refined with less muddiness. This vid has really pushed me into the Martin camp. Thanks for doing this comparison!
MARTIN D-28 -ALL DUE RESPECT, but, it is what it is... the Gibson J-45 is just - the most solid, warm, full and beautiful-sounding, mass-produced guitar on Earth - always has been - still is.
They are both excellent. I own both and for me, the J45 is best for the solo singer. It has so much warm and the mids are so definite. When you are jamming and need to kick ass, the D28 is best bar none IMO. They both have their forte and I would never part with either one of these fine instruments. Peace
Both awesome sounding guitars, thanks for playing all the different types of styles and overlaying the guitars, I did a blind taste test and the Martin won the overall IMO. But I wouldn't kick the J-45 out of bed if you catch my drift :)
They're both sick guitars. I fully believe that if you've gotten this far, it's which guitar speaks out to you the most. My friend likes the Gibson and I like the Martin!
This is one of the best comparison videos I've ever seen. You really understand the differences and so the "soul" of this two super-classics. No way to choose the "better": it's like to compare a Stratocaster with a Les Paul. You need both. I personally would buy first the Gibson, because I like the short scale and the wide fretboard, and of course the dark and rich sound of mahogany
Both beautiful guitars, and unique to one another. I own a Martin HD-28V and have a new J45 on the way next week. As another poster said, you just need both in your collection.
Both guitars are sound excellent. I’d say you might consider owning both models for when you would want some tone color variation choices. 🎧 long scale and short scale. Rosewood and mahogany. Great demo comparison and production.
Different strokes for different folks, but a J-45 just always sounds like it has dead strings. D-28 has a nice balance between deep, dark tone, and clarity.
@@michaelsaupe1356J45s are definitely not something to buy sight unseen. A friend had one I was in love with and when my local music shop got a brand new one in I was primed to buy… but it sounded like it had been left in a damp attic for years. Lifeless. I even tried a couple of Yamahas and Faiths 1/4 the price to see if it was just the demo room. Nope-the cheaper guitars sounded more alive.
I can clearly hear the difference. The Martin has a "chime" or brightness to it and the Gibson was warmer. Overall the Gibson's volume accross the strings was more even.
@@shanenewport1988 When you say bluegrass picking I assume you're referring to flat picking. If so, I would lean more to a Martin D-18. A Martin D-28 is excellent as well but it's a little to loud for me. Country picking you might consider a Gibson J-45. The J-45 is a short scale and using "Bluegrass" strings it is easier to fret. You can't go wrong with any of them.
I really loved them both I think in this case I would go with the Martin . the great things about acoustic guitars is you could play two more of the same guitars and the Gibson could sound better great comparison
I have a j-45 and a hd-28. Both are exceptional guitars. Which one is the best is the one I'm playing at the moment. The j-45 has the shorter scale length which makes it a little easier to play some what. Can't go wrong either way.
I own both. They are both great. If I could only own one guitar though it would be the J45. It’s a superior guitar for a singer- songwriter because the notes decay more quickly. It also has that “thump” in the bass. The J45 also has a shorter scale too. It’s easier to play.
Comparing a rosewood dreadnought to a mahogany dreadnought is a bit odd, would’ve preferred to see you compare the D28 to either the J45 Custom Rosewood or the J45 Studio Rosewood for a true comparison
Both sound incredible, the D28 sounded more clear to my ears while the J45 sounded more muffled. Really like the comparison, both are really great guitars.
Martin sounds good but it’s close to a Taylor sound with more bass, the Gibson has such a dark unique tone with a quietness sounds very intimate, just draws you in. Gibson all the way!!
@@Dennzio1 I actually returned the Gibson J-45 for a Martin D-28. I was having issues with the fret board warping due to the dry climate. They sent me a new Gibson and I started using a humidifier and keeping it closed in the case and the same issue occurred weeks later. I love the Martin I have now though. It has amazing sound and I haven't had to tune it once since I got it.
I have a J45 standard that I bought used . Ive owned it for about 4 months and really enjoying it . So far no issues , but its summer . Usually the dry winter heat that kills these guitars . I ve had issues with my Gibson acoustics when leaving them out on hangers . Some people like to leave them in case with a case humidefier . If the guitar is in the case it doesnt get played enough . Ive been leaving the Gibsons in the case during the winter and 2007 Takamine ,which is super stable on the wall . But its no J45
Both nice instruments and good playing by the way. Never quite get the whole comparison thing though. They are completely different guitars - Rosewood vs Mahogany, Square shoulder vs Round, Jumbo vs Dreadnought, Long scale vs Short scale and then the bracing and neck. Take your pick on the multitude of factors that impact the sounds in this case. Nice playing though - thanks for posting.
I own a Gibson J-45 Slash. It has a very pop sound and is very good to work with - especially on new Strings! But anyways, good marketing made by Martin: I would love to have one some day 😅
High end guitars are like accomplished players. It is not a matter of who is better or in this case what guitar is better. It is a matter of "difference". Accomplished players all play good. But some will play a little or more different from the other. Those who listen will prefer one player over the other. The one who is preferred will also be less preferred from another listener, and vice-versa. High End Guitar are no different. In my humble opinion it is not about what Guitar is "better". It is about what difference the listener who is also the player prefers. In short in comes down to preference not tone.
To my ear the Martin has more of a "snap" or "crack" on the Bass, if that makes sense. The J-45 is smooth as silk. If you are a Bluegrass person you will likely gravitate toward That cracking top end on the bass.
This is such a difficult choice. After the first part of him playing both guitars, i thought Gibson was 100% a winner for me, but after the second guitar duel i thought Martin takes this by far! They have their strengths and weaknesses...
Prefer the Gibson over tone separation, balanced output frequency but need to dig deeper over playability, maintenance and string stable over 10 non-stop songs. That's need to be done to pick road guitar or just play guitar for hobby. Imho
No one else does these super short samples before switching guitars and it’s awesome thank you. So much easier to tell the difference vs hearing 3 min of one than the other.
The J-45 is great for what it is. Warm, comfortable, easy to play, nostalgic tone, beautiful. But the D-28 is just another animal. One of the greatest guitars (a proper one) ever conceived. IMHO. The luck ones own both.
I’d like to see a J45 rosewood compared to the D28 as the sound is really wood type based
You are right. And I'm a lucky one. You need both.

악기로서의 음향적 지표만 놓고보면 마틴이 당연히 우월하지만 깁슨은 역시 깁슨만의 감성이 있네요. 기타를 단 한대만 가질 수 있다고 하면 역시 마틴이고, 두번째 기타로서 구입할때는 마틴보다 깁슨
마틴이 소리가 좋긴좋은데 깁슨은 쳐보면 왜 사람들이 깁슨타령하는지 알게된다. 개인적으로는 블루스, 락, 팝계열은 깁슨이 대체적으로 더 잘어울리는듯... 실제로 워크호스로 더 많이쓰이는 느낌. 마틴은 연주나 컨트리쪽이 입도적인? 느낌이지않나 싶네요
정확하십니다~
동감합니다!
공감요ㅎ
좋아하는곡인데 포근하게 연주해주셔서 너무 마음이 편해지네용 감사합니다ㅎㅎ 호옥시 나중에 가능하다면 B-25랑 OM-18(또는28)도 비교해주실 수 있으실 까용,,,

J-45 : " I'm the singer in a band, you know..."

To my ear the Martin has more of a "snap" or "crack" on the Bass, if that makes sense. The J-45 is smooth as silk. If you are a Bluegrass person you will likely gravitate toward That cracking top end on the bass.

martin for me
gibson best,,even in the sound fade out it's good to hear
Gibson seems to have brighter highs & deeper lows. The Martin is more balanced across all EQ. So I'm kinda on the fence. Okay! I'll take the Gibson.
J-45 sounds like it has dead strings or is a classical guitar compared to the D-28. Love my Martin
Prefer the Gibson over tone separation, balanced output frequency but need to dig deeper over playability, maintenance and string stable over 10 non-stop songs. That's need to be done to pick road guitar or just play guitar for hobby. Imho
