That’s a beautiful custom Martin. I’m a team mahogany guy but that Custom Martin is just perfection. From its aesthetics to its tone its a classic beauty. Great work Cooper. & congrats you get your dream custom Martin guitar. 👍🏻🤘🏻
Wonderful guitar, really like slot head for same reasons, especially as a finger picker, always wanted a Martin but the style guitar I wanted cost more than my first car so I did without. That changed 2 weeks ago. I got a 000 with the short scale that I like better for my small hands and body. It has the ati- spruce top (but with the new baked wood to make it sound more aged). It has rosewood back and sides. It does not have the slot head. It has 14 frets. I would prefer 12 fret slot head but did not have that option. It does not have some of the cosmetic features that add a lot to the price - but that would have taken it out of my price range. It has the low rounded neck that I require. In the past a v or mod-v was the only option and I can't play those. So I thank the Lord I finally got my first Martin after all these years, with the features I require and at a price I could afford. It is the 00016 Street master.
Very cool, the slot head makes it special, sounds great. Bit of a Martin OM fan myself, retired with; first year OM-18 Authentic (Ambertone pre VTS), Custom Shop OM-28 (Alpine over Madagascar, fine herringbone, 50's burst), 1995 OM-45 TB (Curly Engelmann over Tasmanian Blackwood, Alternate Torch, carved gold tuners). In my 70's, dreads are all gone.....OM's are perfect !!!
This would be my pick of top acoustics. I love Martin and the Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce OM has the additional scale length to deliver the punch I like.
Huge Martin fan, and absolutely love my HD28, but THAT guitar sounds absolutely incredible. Looks amazing too - but the sound coming out of that guitar is soooo beautiful! Of course, your outstanding playing (…both of you) is part of it, but even in a UA-cam video you can tell that the sound from this guitar is truly out of this world! Great job.
Looks awesome and sounds amazing. You knocked it out of the park. I live a short drive from the factory and they are great people who really care about quality.
Cooper, you brought justice to that great guitar. I enjoyed your playing. Thanks, Chris for bringing all your knowledge and experience to this review as well.
What a sweet sounding and nice looking OM… Besides the Adi the headstock is a nice touch. I bought an OMJM from you all and it has become one of my favorite Martins. Enjoy Cooper I’m sure it’ll inspire your creativity.
Top notch instrument. I'm sure that your custom Martin is harmonically balanced throughout the freq.range. As a violinist I can tell you that the spruce that is seasoned for ten years produces the best sounding modern violins. And being spruce the tone limbers more and more with age.
Beautiful sounding guitar . I have a Breedlove Concert Premiere with an Adirondack top and a real nice set of Indian Rosewood back and sides. It sounds similar to the OM you just demonstrated. Love the bite but sensitive finger picking works too . You guys are a pleasure to watch. Thks
Great looking guitar, congratulations! I love that it has a “less ornate” look at a glance but that it’s actually full of beautiful detail. Suggestion… now that Chris and Cooper have their own designs at hand, can we get a video of them playing together? Cooper’s Thomasin might be nice.
Stunning, the smile on Chris's face at 09:09 thru 09:14 says pretty much everything. Have to say though that it is mean, considering those of us across in the UK will probably never have the chance of getting our hands on what is probably the nicest Martin I have seen and heard. Very envious of those nine + Cooper who do get to purchase it though.
Classical guitar builders tend to modify the bracing to suit the tone. For custom classical guitars, when you order, the choices are Spruce or Cedar. If you want a tone more like Adirondack, the builder will tune the top to get those characteristics. I have two guitars from the same builder. Both spruce tops, but one sounds more like a cedar. The finish is also a vintage tint and everyone who plays it thinks they’re playing a cedar top. I tell them it’s spruce and they don’t believe me. I like the explanations that Chris gives of Sitka and Adirondack, because as a classical guitarist, no one ever talks about it.
That guitar checks all the boxes for me except one. I’m hoping to get Madagascar this time. I sold my OM-28V and miss it. But I’d like a slothead in Mad Rose/Adi this time. Cooper, you play some great stuff! I listen to you to hearmore of the potential of the guitar.
Just bought one of these, over the weekend. I'm a 000 fan, and went there to play all the 000's you had. Played them all, including the CEO-10 (which was beautiful) but none rivaled the sound of this one. And yes, I love the slotted head stock and the abalone CMF. Well done. Thanks for building an amazing guitar.
Wow, what a beauty. Congrats Cooper. OMs and 000s I think are Martins finest creations. I would probably take this over any of the boutiques, as amazing as they are, this guitar comes from that magical place in Pensilvania.
Wow! Was not expecting that sound from that guitar. I don’t know how to explain it. My first thought was a bear. Yes I said bear. It is certainly different than other guitars that I heard lately. Love it
Great sounding guitar guys. Nice design Cooper, That guitar fits you like a glove. :) K & K pick up is the best natural Acoustic sound. Id like to see a comparison between that guitar and a Boucher SG51. Now that would be an interesting shoot out.
you hit the nail on the head here, looks good great all aspects of the best Martins. I have a special 28 Addy and it is magic. this may be double at twice the price, Martin is magic.
You guys knocked it outta d'park once again. Adi-specific bracing is a new one on me, thanky. Great congrats, gents! Slotted 14 open-gear is to die for! I've been a slotted 14 open freak for a long time. Have known vintage Martins have been valued by brace carvers, but didn't know of Adi bracing; thanky thanky. The demos sound amazing. AMAZZZINGGG! Love the the base E. Love it alll. Great congrats on your exclusive creation! What kind of strings do YOU gents like??? Not what came with it, which strings do Chris and Cooper prefer??? No problemo to disagree. Thank you, S
Pickup: see what Martin uses in their Modern Deluxe 000-28e special Baggs. I like the K&K in most, but I do have the LR Baggs in mine. Also flamed maple binding on the guitar and up the neck. And yes, I do play it at the retirement & memory care places. Thanks Cooper
Everything is perfect but the icing is the slotted headstock on a 14th fret guitar. I’ve always liked one, but wasn’t sure if it was acceptable or had a downside to it since we normally see slotted on 12th frets. Now I can sleep peacefully, since Cooper and Chris have endorsed it
Sounded muffled to me. I do like the adaronkack top and bracing. Headstock looks 😎 with that type of logo. OK how much is this guitar going for. Great video guy's. Thanks Dean 🇬🇧
Cooper, it must feel good what you did with this Martin guitar and glad you had the time to save up to buy it. Have fun with it and play the hell out of it but baby it, as I am sure you will. I googled you and downloaded some of your music but will admit I am not that big of a country fan, but your stuff was good. I love your style of guitar playing and you have a good voice. Now I need to google Chris and check out his stuff too. I enjoy your posts but one thing: I have to adjust the volume all the time because when you are just talking, your voice is soft. However, does your recording, tell them to adjust it and even out the voice and guitar. I am not saying you sing but your talking voice.
Stopped by the shop and got to hold this guitar. It's even more beautiful in person. I really wanted to play it but froze up in front of Cooper. Haha. I think I'd rather play at a brewery or coffee shop than in a guitar shop, especially in front of someone that is such a great guitarist. My fault. Not Cooper's at all. And, I'll get over it. More practice.
Awesome video! Cooper, what was that first song you played in the demo? Anyway, thank you Chris and Cooper for all the content you guys work so hard on. I appreciate ya!
Hard to believe you’ve filmed this guitar on the same equipment as usual … it sounds like such a cannon compared to almost everything else on this channel. Wow! I’m not a “Martin Guy,” but I think I sure could be if I owned that guitar. Great job Cooper!
Chris - I am so glad you brought up Collings and Santa Cruz guitars. Are Martin Custom shop guitars comparable to them? And when you say "Martin Custom Shop" what does it really mean? Are they handmade? Are they made like Santa Cruz and Collings?
I played a Martin custom shop 000 Adi top and found it to sound too trebly and brittle. Maybe it needed time, but I’d save my $ and go regular Sitka top with just the Adi bracing after that experience if I was going custom. Give me the short scale and sinker back and sides, with a simple 18 style. Splurge on vintage hide glue. Ambertone and blackguard would be my visual upgrade.
Hey Chris, please elaborate a little on Lutz spruce. Is it somewhere between Sitka and Adirondack in terms of hardness...harder than Sitka, but not as hard as Adi? Have you played a Lutz-topped guitar ever, and what did you think? Thanks.
Big Question .....for me....what neck did you choose? I had a Martin HD-28V but the V neck was so difficult to play compared to my Taylors. Want to try again with the OM 28 just want a neck similar to a Taylor 814ce. Modified low oval? Performance Artist neck?
Quick question: with all the work you put in to specify the sound of this (impressive) instrument, is there a reason (beyond cost) that made you not add a torrefied top? Thank you.
To be completely honest, there were a couple reasons on my end. First off, I love the crisp white appearance of the non-VTS Adirondack-- it just looks so nice to me. The other reason is that I intend this guitar to be a lifetime instrument for anyone who purchases it, so I like the thought of the Adirondack naturally aging over the years-- changing color, opening up, etc., without the torrefaction. I DO love their VTS tops, but this one just made more sense to me to go natural.
@@AlamoMusic Thank you. Makes sense for the long-term instrument you aim for. Furthermore, while going natural might be perceived as delayed gratification sound-wise, we already know of the longevity of natural wood - maybe less so for torrefied wood (how will torrefied wood sound in 50 years, and does torrefaction do more to the wood than just accelerated aging? I just don't know). In any case, already a great guitar!
@@AlamoMusic Interesting, I have a Custom shop very similar to this one, with addy top(definitely the way to go!), although mine is mahogany b/s and 000 scale. I do think the VTS adds a great open tone, but this u can't go wrong with addy and the Martin Custom shop.
All they said about Adirondack Spruce (only re- available in the last 10 years or so) is true, but would add ( as owner of several guitars spread among AD, Sitka, Cedar and and Alpine tops), if you are looking for less dynamic ( is that a term?) finger picking, AD is not the best choice. It takes more energy to get it vibrating. AD braces add to the stiffness which helps increase the projection. Great design but no aged top ?
I hate aged tops. Also, not true about Adirondack. It can be extremely sensitive if braced lightly and correctly. Also some alpine is stiffer than Addy
Nicely done Cooper. I prefer the shorter scale 000, Adirondack Vintage Tone System, not sure if you said hyde or protein glue, 12-fret but with a solid head and "Vintage" (soft gloss) finish with either a modified low oval or soft V neck and strap buttons. I might loose some tone but I can't see to thread the high E and B strings on a slotted head. I can use tooth picks on a slotted head but they don't stay in a slotted head. Remember you don't need to see to play guitar and sing. Binding? Fretboard inlays? Thanks Cooper and Chris
Good choice guys. Awesome guitar. I'm trying to find something that matches/beats out the OM-28 Modern Deluxe. I'm needing therapy after almost every time I touch it...just can't put it down. I've never felt/heard a guitar like it. This one (yours) comes close I bet. I got a beautiful Furch OM 34 and another Martin OM cherrry (OME) and an Eastman E20-OO and they are all rocking crowns around almost any other guitars...maybe prince-sized crowns but are pretty royal nonetheless...till the King of the mountain (the OM-28 MD) walks in the room. They all bow to its sublime amazingness
That’s a beautiful custom Martin. I’m a team mahogany guy but that Custom Martin is just perfection. From its aesthetics to its tone its a classic beauty. Great work Cooper. & congrats you get your dream custom Martin guitar. 👍🏻🤘🏻

Both demos were amazing on this guitar for sure
the best guitar shape,the best tone wood combination & THE BEST GUITAR BRAND!!!additional THE BEST are Martins Bridge & Headstock design...
You guys had WAY too much fun playing this guitar! Great instrument! Congratulations Cooper!
If you ever decide you want to own just one great all around guitar then this is the one.
Yeah. I'd rather have a hog backed dread for an all around guitar. Jmo.
Love it, love it, love it! Tone and beauty in one package. OM is my personal favorite body. You guys nailed it!
Congrats , sounds amazing! Martin is on fire right now! I feel so much comfort when I hear a Martin play.
Chris reserves Amazing Grace for his favorites 👍🏼
Looks awesome and sounds amazing. You knocked it out of the park. I live a short drive from the factory and they are great people who really care about quality.
A thing of beauty is a joy to behold! And this is very beautiful, both in looks and tone
Cooper is like a proud papa showing off his new baby, and rightfully so. He should sign the labels.
Cooper, you brought justice to that great guitar. I enjoyed your playing. Thanks, Chris for bringing all your knowledge and experience to this review as well.
What a sweet sounding and nice looking OM… Besides the Adi the headstock is a nice touch. I bought an OMJM from you all and it has become one of my favorite Martins. Enjoy Cooper I’m sure it’ll inspire your creativity.

Top of the line choice of materials, I really like the slotted headstock. Your design is a winner 🏆 sounds like kickass to boot!❤️👍👌

BTW, I visited the store in ‘76 and bought a guitar. Don’t recall what the name was, maybe Takamine. I gave it it to a friend.
That Coop... smooth.

Congratulations!!! Great choice of specs. If I could have Martin build me my dream acoustic it woúld be very close to this one. Have fun with it! 😎
Jesus has returned as a guitar player.
☝️😃🎸
The tonal quality is exceptional. You lucky duck!
I own one Martin and I’m hoping to own one more one day, definitely a triple O 🤙
These OM’s are very sweet too though. Great feed as always guys!
Classy instrument with outstanding tone. I like the slotted headstock and traditional inlay.✌️
Damn, that is an acoustic guitar! Great job guys
Amazing build. Perfection!
Love it. Beautiful guitar and sounds great.

I hope the binding doesn't start to separate after a few years like it did on my Custom Shop OM28.
This faux tortoise joke never gets old 😂♥
Cooper handed me the guitar to check out and now I want one!!
Sweet new Martin Cooper I like the sound and look
You can really make it sing in the demo

I’m good no way am I unsubscribing.
That headstock is Orgasmic... 😳 I'm in the UK, and left handed. 😢😢😢
I have a Martin custom shop 0000-18 sinker mahogany with adi top…..unbelievable guitar.
Congrats to You sir, very nice guitar,
Awesome video! Cooper, what was that first song you played in the demo? Anyway, thank you Chris and Cooper for all the content you guys work so hard on. I appreciate ya!
Oh and congrats Cooper! Such a sweet guitar!!
Beautiful guitar!
Nice. Would like for Martin to make the 0-21 12 fret again with a Sitka top.
sounds and looks amazing
Man Chris can really play. So jealous
I need to work with you guys to build my custom Martin.
Hard to believe you’ve filmed this guitar on the same equipment as usual … it sounds like such a cannon compared to almost everything else on this channel. Wow!
I’m not a “Martin Guy,” but I think I sure could be if I owned that guitar. Great job Cooper!
Hey Cooper love the 1st song you played...was that in standard tuning?
Chris - I am so glad you brought up Collings and Santa Cruz guitars. Are Martin Custom shop guitars comparable to them? And when you say "Martin Custom Shop" what does it really mean? Are they handmade? Are they made like Santa Cruz and Collings?

Is beautiful guitar but is super expensive. These manufacturers are insane with this prices !
Sounds like my 000-28 1937 custom authentic.
Go with a K&K Pure!
Cooper - What band do you play with? Genre? Would love more info on where to find your music.
Can we buy this?
I'm sold. I just can't afford $6500 for that beauty.
How much?
Why did you pick the OM and not the 000

000-28 1937 custom authentic. If you like a slightly shorter scale. It's a monster
How would this guitar cost. Range please.
per website , about $6500
@@rzh3443 Thank you very much. I found it on the Website after I ask the question. Sorry.
K and k.
OK, it’s a very nice $4,000 guitar, but not at $6,400 with no free shipping. Lots of better alternatives at a lower price.
