My little brother bought this guitar a month or 2 ago. It’s one of the nicest acoustic guitars I’ve ever played in my life. Been playing for 37 years. It’s perfect.
Ive had mine about 2 years now , I cant wait for it to really open up with the sitka top. I have Sapele back and sides so i'm not sure what it will do . but I know this will stay in the family and go down to the kids. thank you for your view and fine music
Love what you are playing! Just bought this model guitar yesterday! Where can I take lessons to play the style you are playing...absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
I just bought the Sitka and I gotta tell ya it's amazing. I was torn between the Sapele and it and as the story goes, I played several of each and the Sitka I bought just reached out to me. I initially thought the Sapele had a richer tone but "my" Sitka just felt right. Hitting the harmonics loud and rotating the guitar in your hands really gives you a good feel for it's flavor and depth and I gotta say, I've played some gorgeous D18's and D28's and this guitar comes about as close as you're gonna get, let alone for 1,300 bones. The Xseries laminate backs are cheaper but the harmonics rotating thing tells the tale. The $1,000 X sounds like a toy compared to the Sapele and Sitka D10E's. And yes, in Canada they go for $1,250 for the Sapele and $1,299 for the Sitka. Tony Rice compelled me to drop the electric and get back to my roots in Bluegrass and my fire is lit again, I'm loving playing again. Tommy Emmanuel too but Tommy's green thumb stuff is like starting over for real lol If you're on the fence, trust me, buy a Martin and get to it!!
Hi I'm thinking of getting this guitar but will the dark one not spruce top sound as good. I like the dark version looks wise better. I'm Karel a girl you know how we are. Lol
Did you get the sapele version? Do you like the sound? I got a different model in full sapele a sc-13e. Feels like it’s not loud, but the body it’s different. Do you feel that it’s loud?
It will def play and sound better but the FG 830 is a great guitar and one of the best for the money. I bought an FG820 a few months back and I love it. Buy what you can comfortably afford.
@@joshgledhill4941i have fg700s it’s perfectly fine for songwriting and bible studies. I had my eyes on an A5R but my humble Martin is solid and you don’t have to worry about banging it up
Very comparable, I had both. Both are easy playing and sound great. The Martin costs a little more but it's solid top, back, and sides. The Taylor has a solid top and laminated back and sides. They are both great guitars, you can't go wrong with either one.
I'm a Taylor guy but the 114 is a very weak sounding guitar, is really disappointed. I'd take this Martin all day over that Taylor. way louder and Rich tone.
Ymahaha all solid LS16 sounds better than D 10...in my opinion... LS16 has all solid construction... Martin D10 has solid top. & laminated B/S.....LS16 has solid Englemann spruce top and solid rosewood or mahongay back and side...@$799/899 $>>>> Same wood combination in martin guitar will b 2000$....

I play this guitar weekly on acoustic solo gigs. It always delivers!
it really shines amplified... especially in my fishman loudbox. better than more expensive guitars I have plugged in!
Nice playing! Great review. I have one of the older “Road Series” an older D1 (1994).
Beautiful playing and beautiful sounding guitar.
Sounds Great!!!! keep up your great work!!!
Love what you are playing! Just bought this model guitar yesterday! Where can I take lessons to play the style you are playing...absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
I have one and it's a great playing and sounding guitar. I just need to put some lighter strings on it for my own playing preference.

I also Have a Martin D10 E I love the way it plays Great Guitar for the price well made
Sounds nice; I remember when I bought my first Martin in came in a nice hard case.
A truly truly wonderful sounding guitar and a great review !!! ❤
Just bought one, watched this afterwards. Spot on review !
These are fantastic guitars! I just need it to be a cutaway....that's necessary sometimes!
Good guitar ... I went with the Taylor 110ce years ago though ... :)
Any idea if changing the string will make this guitar sound a little “fuller”? Maybe ebony pins and bone saddle?
Sounds great, I have its predecessor, a DRS2. Very nice guitars, especially for the money.
You play so beautifully. Hope one day I can play 10% of what you do
That's too kind, thanks for watching!
Has anyone else found some Martin's have the high E string way too close to the edge of the fretboard?
Yup. Both of mine like this.

Great review
Sounds great. Well played. 👍✌️
Hi, thanks for the review. How come they mention 1.75” nut width on the Martin website. I was going to get it but this is a crucial spec for me :(
One day I’ll hit the lottery and buy a D martin guitar.🙏🏻cheers
Que sapele back and sides is Solid???
Yes
No the back and sides are laminated sapele. Not solid.
@@Tackman149wrong
@@Tackman149 Don't think so. It's solid Sapele back and sides.
@@alann5003 I hope you're right.. I've questioned it since I brought the guitar home
Does this really play better than something like a Yamaha FG830? I can barely afford that and it’s only $350
It will def play and sound better but the FG 830 is a great guitar and one of the best for the money. I bought an FG820 a few months back and I love it. Buy what you can comfortably afford.
cannot beat a yamaha fg. I first bought the fg 800 and a year later bought the d 10 e spruce. I still play my yamaha just as much
@@joshgledhill4941i have fg700s it’s perfectly fine for songwriting and bible studies. I had my eyes on an A5R but my humble Martin is solid and you don’t have to worry about banging it up
For sure. Where the Martin shines is the neck. Intonation on Chinese Yamahas is just not quite right. These martins are far better.
How does this compare to a taylor 114ce?
Very comparable, I had both. Both are easy playing and sound great. The Martin costs a little more but it's solid top, back, and sides. The Taylor has a solid top and laminated back and sides. They are both great guitars, you can't go wrong with either one.
I'm a Taylor guy but the 114 is a very weak sounding guitar, is really disappointed. I'd take this Martin all day over that Taylor. way louder and Rich tone.
In norway where i live the taxes are so high that this guitar costs 1300$
Me too
$1400 in Australia 😢
1500 in canada after taxes
In Brazil 2100 after taxes😭
not enough comments about how good this guy is at guitar lol
Ymahaha all solid LS16 sounds better than D 10...in my opinion...
LS16 has all solid construction...
Martin D10 has solid top. & laminated B/S.....LS16 has solid Englemann spruce top and solid rosewood or mahongay back and side...@$799/899 $>>>> Same wood combination in martin guitar will b 2000$....
I think you are wrong, Martin has solid back and sides as well.
Laminated back and sides would be D1 or D2
Pickup is horrendous. Sounds lush straight up
9.3 sounds a little high. If a D-18 is a 10 this should at best a 7 or 8.
Sounds plastic…. Come on Martin!
I agree. They play nice but the sound???...idk
