    I have been looking at both these guitars and have only been able to try the 47 so far. Do you have a preference between them? Thanks for your comparison videos and great playing.

    • @mikeluke6499
      @mikeluke6499 27 днів тому

      Now there’s a question. They are very different guitars, one being mahogany Gibson inspired, the other rosewood Martin. I’ve had the 47 for a few years and love it, it’s a very intimate and responsive pure sounding guitar that also has the ‘thump’ for muted fingerstyle. The 00037 is still a novelty for me, it resonates like crazy, has a real powerful bass but remains balanced. The rosewood gives it shimmer but maybe takes away some of the pure fundamental ring of the treble notes. I feel the 47 excels as a fingerstyle guitar sound wise if that’s your thing, the 00037 does everything well and is way better for strumming etc. You need both obviously. That’s just the way it works.

    Both sound great. I've never heard that song, but it's beautiful. I think the Gibson sounds more "present", for what that means to you. The notes are coming at you, whereas the Martin sounds a little more like the notes are coming from farther away, or being generated from the air in the room. I think the Gibson sounds a little sweeter for this style of play too. I bet the Martin would be better on songs with a lot of strumming.

    Hi Mike! Thank you for the comparison and congratulations for your playing. Can you please tell me if you feel any significant difference between the two guitars regarding the bridge string spacing ? Thanks in advance and greetings from northeastern France!

    • @mikeluke6499
      @mikeluke6499 Рік тому

      Hi. The Atkin does have a 1 11/16" nut width (as standard) compared with the 1 3/4" on the Martin. This is not ideal, but it is otherwise superior in terms of neck angle and playability. The strings are also noticeabley closer together at the sound hole picking position.

      @@tommysixstring5094 Hi. The string spacing is slightly closer on the Atkin 47. I'm not sure about the Essential OM, it looks to be the same 1 11/16 at the nut. Either way the Atkins are so well made and set up I barely notice.

    Lovely, thank you! Just the sort of thing I’m looking to play. What are your own thoughts on the difference between? I have a dreadnought and a parlour guitar but am looking for something in between for fingerpicking - the LG47 I saw called a dread but it surely isn’t?!

    • @mikeluke6499
      @mikeluke6499 Рік тому

      Hi. The LG47 is a '00' size body. It is based on a vintage Gibson LG2. This is also how I would describe the difference between the two, the Atkin has full Gibson vibes compared with the woody sustain of the Martin. Easy to justify needing both. ;)

    Both these guitars sound lovely to me.. The sound of the L-00 is amazing though! Those mids are ringing out.. I've just picked up a used L-00 Studio Walnut, have tried a few small bodied guitars before, none of the were as balanced as this one. My choice for fingerstyle now for sure.

  • @alyoshakaramazov8469
    @alyoshakaramazov8469 Рік тому

    I have an L-00 and a 0-16NY. They both sound great, but they both sound different. Fingerstyle the 0-16NY gives a full, rich sound, even when tuned to drop D tuning, which is surprising for such a small bodied guitar. It has a full and pleasant sound. The L-00 has a more lyrical sound, and, of course, the L-00 can go up the neck a little higher. The L-00 really sings with played either finger style or with a pick, but I would never consider playing the O-16NY with a pick. I wouldn't even put my pinky on the top. So the L-00 is more versatile and can fill a room with sound if necessary. I traded away my OM-28V and my Yairi classical guitar to acquire the O-16NY and the L-00. Although the O-16NY seems like a lesser guitar on paper than the OM-28V, I have no regrets. The L-00 is a better sound to my ear than the OM28V and is easier to play. And nothing can beat the O-16NY fingerstyle. Both are keepers.
