Wow. Both guitars sounded wonderful. The D-28 is a keeper one of the best sounding D-28s I’ve heard. The D-18 was great too. Nice fundamental with a little more bass. You’ve got two keepers 😎
Well, to my ears...the D18 is much more balanced across the strings. The D28 has a pronounced midrange that is sounding a bit hollow to me for some reason. The D18 just sounds more musical to me..of course that's just my old ears! Lol Great comparison Paolo, enjoyed it my friend!😊
@paolospadaro I agree with you and I meant to say that they're beautiful instruments! I owned a D28 years ago and it also had a lovely sound but it needed a neck reset and the truss rod was non-adjustable...so I traded it..which I deeply regret! Mistakes along the way!

The D-18 is just easier to listen to, nice playing too!
I have a HD28, so tend towards the D28, but the D18 has a special sound also. Dang! We all need both. Even better if I could play like that.
Thank’s for reply… 😉🫡🙏🏻😊
Like the D-18 better. Had a D-28 lovely guitar but I like the mahogany better. More mids to me anyway. The D-18 sounds clearer to my old ears.
Grazie for the reply
Great demo, and both guitars sound terrific!

Yes!!! Grazie…..
I’ve never owned a D18 but will change that soon. Nice comparison.
Great Guitars, Grazie!!!!

Grazie Rick!!! Everyone has their own tastes...☺️ I can tell you that playing them I like them both and they are two deep different guitars!!!

D18 has more character and sounds more responsive, in my opinion.
D-18 crushed in this comparison, very organic and musical.
The fact that the D18 has scalloped braces makes a difference I think. It makes the the top more lively in my opinion.
Thanks for your reply
The mics recording make the guitars sound very brittle
Great video like video have a happy Sunday.
Grazie David!!!
The D28 sounds much better to me
✨✨✨
D18 sounds better for sure
