So Bob Dylanish love it.

Beautiful original Sean. And you succeeded in writing a lovely optimistic song.

Martin the winner without a struggle

Sean, this is beautiful! I love the simple pure chord progression. Great performance.

D35 sounded fuller and resonated longer…thanks for the comparison.

Martin IMO, more depth

Both sound pretty outstanding here. But I sold my D35 last year and recently picked up a J45. I was amazed at the build quality and sound of a new guitar and it has a more responsive piano like quality than I remember with the D35. I seemed to have to push the Martin with the style I play, which is not very aggressive. I like the form factor of the slope shoulder and don’t feel like I’m struggling to get around a large instrument. Both are great choices though. Thanks.

The J45 all day long

Both beautiful, not able to compare as they have their own distinct sound.

I just listened to it, you did a awsome job, i loved it and will listen to it more

I gave it a listen and it is amazing! Keep up the good work and never give up bro. May God bless you.

You remind me of my dad, so I actually went and listened to your album. I feel like you kinda rush through the lyrics. He does the same. I think you can drag em out a lot more. Or use fewer words/syllables. Would match better with the slow/sad vibe. Just my opinion. Best of luck to you.

Just gave it a listen and it was great!! Loved it :))

Good stuff!!😎👍

Added to my library of road trip tunes. Great work Sean!

your underrated im subscribed

excited to check it out Sean, congrats dude!

What a cute pup!!!!

Great review! Thanks!

A brilliant rendition. Your vocals are well suited for Elliott Smith. I look forward to following your music!

Very nice !

well done!😎👍

Cute pup!!!!❤

Lush sound

Very nice I have the excel Tammany with the ebony back and sides and love the guitar and sound.

Why should I like and subscribe before you’ve said or done anything????????? Plus your cap is on the wrong way round.

👏👏

You played this very well!

Both sound great but for me I'm lucky enough to have a J45 and a Martin D28 and I like the shorter scale on the Gibson and the neck I find that much more comfortable and I think therein lies the bigger decisions in many ways and it's the individual comfort feel If I'm totally honest I have a Hummingbird that I prefer to both, but that said I tend to play different stuff on each one so that's another factor and a reason why I love them all and wouldn't want to part with any of them If you particularly like certain music depending on that style I would choose one that I felt best suits, if I had only one to pick I'd probably go for the J45 as I think it is the most versatile for different genres although in fairness I stick between 50's and 70's including folk and country, Beatles, CCR Eagles etc Some genre's I just don't have any interest in so couldn't say what one might suit say rap or punk or jazz or prog or whatever else

Hunted for years bought the best D-35 I could find, It’s still better, than most artists are able to run it!

Feel, sounds, preference and lastly price… both are great guitars and I’ve played both as vintage models and I love them both. If one was vintage around $2800 and the other was vintage at $1500, I’m taking the less pricey one…unfortunately it is what it is. Again, both are great

:-)

Thanks for helping keep Elliott's memory alive in our hearts!

@seanhopkins3758 what is the neck shape like?

Nice Version👍

the Gibby is better hands down. Own a songwriter custom shop I love.

Both great guitars. Not many reviews that compare the Martin Dreadnaught and J45 talk about the scale length, fretboard radius and neck profile. I love the sound of a D18 or D35 but much prefer the 'Playability' of a J45 for the shorter neck scale. That said, one day I'll get a Martin lol.

I hope you win buddy!

I have a 1965 Martin D-12-35, and find your Martin a bit richer than the Gibson, but I could not decide which I loved more.

Hi, good job ! Thanks. I prefer the Gibson 🙂

Nice guitar, but nothing special. I’ve researched it. Thanks

Thank you. It’s kind of a dark song. But I enjoy performing it.

Absolutely loved it!

Fantastic song Sean 👏👏👏👍

Sounds great brother 👍

that's a banger track! Really good singing and sound brother!!🎸

Good review ❤

Hi! Good video. The excel is all solid :)

Martins do it even better bro
