Sehr sympathisch! Man spürt deine Begeisterung! Ich hab die gleiche Gitarre als reserved Model und bin einfach nur beseelt davon. Viel Spaß mit der Musik weiterhin!

Sehr schön 🤩

What are the best guitars you own would you say?

Am I right in saying the Martin is over double the cost of the atkin? Does make sense that the Martin is better in that case but Atkin is superb

New subscriber here, really enjoyed your video and the joy you play with. Atkin guitars are simply incredible. Hard to choose which one I like more here, but I think I like the OM a tad more.

There's less between them tonally than I thought they'd be.

I'd buy whichever I could get the best deal on!!

a very good comparison video! By your enthusiasm, i can see you're in love with guitars! I own an Atkin L36 and am fascinated by the brand, might just buy me an OM in the near future!

I a bit surprised how much better the Martin sounded over the Atkin.

The Atkin sounds very nice especially for plucking or fingerstyle. But for strumming and over all tone, it's going to be the Martin for me. Nice review! New subscriber here. 👍💯

Franticek Furch. I owned a roundshoulder dread some years ago.

"Porsche GT 2 RS, Walter Röhrl Edition" :-)

Gefällt mir sehr. Schickes Gerät! 👍

No Eastman or Sigma or Epiphone inspired by Gibson comparison? ;-)

Great sounding guitar. It really rings for a mahogany guitar.

Did you also try the rosewood 37 OM and the D 37 before buying the essentials? Grüße aus Berlin.

I like them both.

Sounds great!

What does it sell for ??

How would you compare Furch to Atkin? I've seen your review of the Atkin OM, i have a Furch Vintage 3 OM SR and I'm considering getting an Atkin OM. i know yhe are different models, but in general, how would you compare Furch to Atkin? Thanks, and btw, you pronouce Furch a lot better than me 👍

Can't hear you, mate!

Ach da ist sie ja. Hab das Video irgendwie nicht gefunden...hehehe. Meine CS- OOOO-18 mit Adirondak und Sinker Mahagonie kommt nächste Woche pünktlich zu meinem Geburtstag. Ick freu mir ja so dolle, fast wie Bolle. ;-)

Great review, thanks . I'm considering either this one or the Atkin OM 37, maybe the Martin OM 28, too, as they are more or less the same price.

Sounds fabulous. What years did they make this particular model from with the baked top? And is it Adirondack as well? Thanks.

Did you already play the Custom Shop Expert Authentics with truss rods or an Authentic model?

MFG guitars from Florida, John Garon...;-)

Sehr geil, mein Freund. Hast einen ähnlich guten Geschmack wie meinereiner... ✍️👍🎸I I Sold my D-18 GE around 2012. Big mistake. But then I luckily bought a fantastic Martin CS 21-11 Adi/Madgascar which sounds very magical. Next week I get a new CS OOOO-18 Adi/sinker for my birthday. Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude...

I LOVE this Hummingbird model's colours, they're SO classy. The standard model I don't fancy, at all.

Yes, they are charismatic guitars. Petty had a Bird with a strange neck - but his main acoustic Gibson was a vintage Dove, , , I even think it had the Tune-O-Matic bridge. Hi from Copenhagen

I'm in love with that OM! Thank you for sharing

I ordered my one (and only) Custom Martin 0000-18 in April 2024; three months in to the 10-12 months wait!! I asked for Sinker, but they had none then… still going to be super content. Got 14 fret 1932 Shade Top (officially called the Chris Hillman Burst)… I understand the addiction part. But once I get it, gotta just be thankful a dream came true and know there are more out there. It’s like getting married, of course there, and it would be nice to ‘have’ them all, but you may miss out on the one you got by seeking ‘better’ hahaha. Enjoy man!! Great playing btw!!!

Thanks for featuring us! Nice playing

Wonderful instrument, owned one myself ;-). You better keep it, mate. And yes, I agree: one of the best guitars for flatpicking and strumming, but less so for fingerpicking...just my 2 cent. Should be mentioned that the Vintage is ultra-light. Kind regards from Duesseldorf...(BTW: Beautiful version of "Wildflowers")

They all sound great! Just curious...what are you using for audio recording?

I have a D18GE 2006 that I really love. But...I have been wanting an Essential D. Great sounding guitar.

Thanks for your comparisons, it's an important service and they show one thing above all: it is damn fascinating for you. so infectious to just watch you do this. I agree with you: the Atkin has bark and the Martin rings. Your Ambertone is a guitar for life, it will never leave your side.

Both sound amazing! What are your overall thoughts on them both having lived with them? Is there one that stands out for you if you had to buy just one? Also looks like the they're not making d-18s with Adirondack tops anymore, have you played a standard d-18 and got any thoughts about those to add? Cheers!

No comparison - the Atkin by far.

Great video, and - I think - a great advert for Martin!

I wanted to like the Atkin more than the Martin, but I didn't. They are both really lovely but if I was going to leave a store with one of them, it would be the Martin.

Alle toll! Ein guter Haushalt braucht eben mehr als eine D-18.... 🤣

Die klingen schon alle sehr sehr gut. Ich persönlich finde Sitka besser besonders bei der Standard D18 denk ich das der bessere Allrounder für Singer Songwriter ist

Alta Falta, besitzt du die alle??😮

Merci pour cette comparaison...c'est vraiment intéressant.

da hog

thank you for your comparison video 😊

We’ll meet again - Great playing my friend. If I had the money I‘d buy it instantly

sounds fantastic as well ;) man I can only have on guitar nad thats my martin d18 at the moment, but I love the gibson sound here as well.

sounds great! hard to believe you selling it.
