- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Big News… Martin is releasing a new body shape - The "Super D" - looks like a standard dreadnought, only bigger! Warning; this may be the biggest, beefiest, cannon of a guitar that we've ever heard on this channel!! Just listen to it next to the standard D-28 (7:28). There are two models in the Super D shape… one with Guatemalan Rosewood and one with Koa. Which sounds best to your ears? What do you think of this new body shape? Leave a comment.

Thats what she said
I was looking for this comment
😂😂😂
I never been so ready to drop 5k in my life. Please take my money!
WOW! What a noticeable difference!!
The super D is a BEAST.
I had to watch twice to confirm... it made the D-28 sound puny.
Imagine that!
This is the Tower of Babel of Martins. I have never wanted a fine guitar less. Three cheers for D-18S and D-35S. And M-36, of course.
When Quinton played first the 28, then the Super D, it sounded like a bass guitar joined in.
Before Paul gets flamed, he is correct that the 3-piece back does not change the tone. That’s a persistent rumor from when the d-35 came out, with 1/4” bracing instead of the d-28’s 5/16”. That changed the tone for sure. But people couldn’t see it; they could see the three piece back, so it was false attribution. I know the back bracing is apparently shorter on a 3-piece back, but it should be really negligible.
Just. Plain. WOW!
That's exciting news!!
Sweetness...with a Super D! Now, nothing will ever sound the same again! Such a sound it not only explodes, it dances around as well. Winner here!
Hand it to Martin to develop a guitar that NO WOMEN will likely ever want to play or purchase for themselves . . .
This new Martin guitar is precisely why Taylor Guitars has done so well overall. Taylor's most popular model remains their Grand Auditorium (comparable to a Martin OOOO in size.) Why? Well, the one very, uh, "big" reason is: they are much more comfortable to play than dreads and kick out more sound than the smaller, folk-sized offerings by Martin and Gibson. The Taylor Grand Auditorium is sonically much more focused than the airy and bass-heavy dreadnought and, most importantly- women can get their arms around the thing. I'll wager that this new Martin will end up a "niche" guitar at best- much like their baritone from a few years back which you never seen anybody playing and even fewer folks talking about . . .
(For the record- I own a '97 Martin Special Edition triple-oh and a '93 Taylor 612c- so I am partial to that tight, focused sound. The Martin triple-oh is their finest model IMHO. Had a '73 D-28 once. Nice guitar- but it just ain't a triple-oh . . . )
I like the Koa model...
All Martins should have vintage tint finish or 3 colour sunburst .
Lovely playin Q, ‘specially with the rosewood !
OMG .... That things a BEAST ... I absolutely LOVE it .... I could listen to that ALL day ...The Rosewood one is the best of the two ... What D-28?
Would love to hear this compared to other big sounding guitars from Guild, Gibson, etc. People rightly roll their eyes about acoustic volume for the sake of volume but it does have it's place, particularly when used artistically.
Ibanez put out a jumbo-acoustic line last year, by the way, called the Advanced Acoustic.
Just when your guitar collection seemed full damm martin. Love the koa beautiful.
Wow!
This looks like a super awesome axe! I wish that Martin would spend some time developing their smaller bodied guitar options. Why not more 0’s, 1’s, 5’s?

Here’s a vid from 27 mins ago about a size 5, lol!!!
I completely agree. I would love to have 00-15 Streetmaster.
They don't sell as well
@@MeneerHerculePoirot
They might not sell well for Martin, but smaller than a dread body sizes sell like crazy for other manufacturers.
Wow, the super Dreadnought blasted the d28 out of the water. I'm off to check out the price. Would be great with an Adi top.. Loved the koa too
Wow! I would really love to play that. Pretty cool Martin coming out with a jumbo
Do you think a D-18 would still be a better choice for a singer/songwriter...?
I had to get the big headphones out for this one. Both are Monsters but the Rosewood hands down is a killer.
They are both rosewood
@@davegott8412one is Koa and the other is Guatemalan rosewood
Koa
That top on that guitar is gorgeous, I love both of those.
LOVE ME MY MARTINS and Music Villa! 💕
Wow! Those sound incredible.
Wow. The rosewood model is awesome. The koa is beautiful! Take my money!
Loved it, love your show!
I just ordered a d-28 should I be upset I didn’t wait for this bad boy to come out
So Nice
I am impressed! Just imagine a Super D 12 string...
The Super D..."It's hard to find wood that big." 🤣
...The new king of acoustics have arrived..
I'll never understand the fascination with Koa, Rosewood is and always will be king.
I have two Martins, both are Adirondack over mahogany. Both are impressive.
I’ll never understand the fascination with rosewood.
@@johnwashburn3793 That sounds good.
@@pgrove I also have a couple of rosewood guitars that I enjoy. I am a traditionalist I suppose.
@@charlesbolton8471 It is tradition. It is great if you want to blend in. Mahogany let's you stand out.
The top on that first one is phenomenal looking! They both sound incredible as well. I think that body shape is going to take off just like the standard dreadnought did in the 30s.
Sj200 vs super D next!!
They should make a bigger one next.
Strange it doesn't sound much different in tone than any of the other giants, just louder but the high end seems to have suffered.
All bass-and dark tones.
I watched this video again.
Well done Martin. They made a bad ass super D. The d 28 sounded like an om. A comparison between a Gibson j200 and a super d would be great 👋.
Dean 🇬🇧
um...I think the operative phrase is: "holy crap!" Wow, just wow.
I wish they would have given actual measurements so as to know what the physical dimensions are and how they compare to a D body.
I placed my order today!
Gorgeous
I stand corrected. This is a body shape and size from the Martin Museum, a 1936 D-45S.
Now that is what you call a banjo killer!
Maybe a D-52 as loud as a B-52? Makes the decision between Koa and Rosewood harder. Is that louder than an SJ-200?
What else would super D stand for Paul?
🏆
Super Dangerouslybigsound
Disaster
Down here in the south there used to be a chain of dollar stores called super d’s
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nicely done
I gotta get the madD!!! BEAST
Huge sounding...especially for a new, green guitar...I wonder how it will change with some playing time...Bigger?
Looked like the most fun Quinton has ever had at the end there with the Super D in rosewood!
Really cool to see Martin doing stuff like this! I'd love to try one of these. The rosewood one sounds fantastic.👌👌
You know tony rice was onto something opening up the sound on that martin
I imagine Johnny Cash would have played the Super D! Big as the man in black
I would love to see the super d compare to a d 35 with rosewood since they both have a 3 piece back
Would be really interesting to hear the new Super D compared to a custom D35, D41 or D42. Seems like that is a little more fair than comparing to a standard D28.
I want a Super D-15M
The Big D: a Bluegrass dream machine...!
Kaboom 🤯
Quentin, your shoulder must be doing better than mine, because I don’t think I could get my arm over that monster. I am having my third surgery on mine in two weeks, so I will stay with my OM. It does sound great, though.
Hi Randorita - mine has gotten almost back to full normal, so I'm very grateful. I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder though, and I do wish you the best - it's just very annoying not to be able to move the way you'd like to . . .
That's a whole lotta Rosie
Love mine. It's sounds huge as expected. I hardly play my d-18 anymore.
Is this true? I also have a D18 and I am considering a Super…
@@jasper_north Depends what you like. I never owned a rosewood guitar until the super d. If you prefer a woody and dry tone, go for the d-18. If you prefer overtones, depth, and volume go for the Super D. I'm mainly a strummer, but whenever I want to play some blues I go back to my d-18.
You have to do a Super D vs Jumbo video.
Would love to hear one of these in drop D tuning....
Wow that is a huge sound..Rosewood over Koa..
I was a Dreadnaught guy until I tried a Guild F-50R. Then a Rainsong JM1000. Bought them both. They make dreads sound like pre-pubescent males. Never tried a Gibson J-200, but I've heard plenty. They're a little more muted. The Rainsong JM3000 12 is so clear, loud and articulated they're frightening. Saving up to buy one.
They both sound great, no surprise there! The koa is maybe a little brighter? My d-21 is feeling inadequate.
Wow!!!
Does it come with oars?
The koa makes a beautiful back but doesn’t it kinda defeat the super D’s purpose?
@Jeanie Peffer I thought all 18s have mahogany backs.
@Jeanie Peffer I was referring to the really boomy bass of the rosewood vs the koa.
I want one. No question.
after hearing and seeing this, I can't conclude that they improved on the original dreadnaught design by making it bigger, this particular guitar sounds muddy and inarticulate.
These demos never give me an idea of what the guitar is fully, sonically capable of because all Quentin does is hit the strings like a lumberjack axing a redwood. I hate it.
Agreed - the way it's played most of the time doesn't give a good idea of the tone. There are short passages where Quentin plays slower up the neck, and here I get a better idea of what the guitar offers.
Please Quentin, caress those guitars a little, play slowly, let's hear the true sound - hard strumming on new strings doesn't cut it!
Would be nice to compare these with Gibson 🤔.
Sounds cool. I don’t think it’s for me I’m a huge fan of the m36. I like the aesthetic of the 3 piece back.
This was made to make Greg koch to look small 😊
Love the rosewood super d. It fills the whole room where the d-28 fills the immediate room. It has the bigger sound by far. I can see Martin selling a bunch of them. Could I trade my hd-28 and d-35 for it?
It reminds me of the dreadnoughts made by Bozo Pudanavac, who made the best 12-strings ever made. His dread shape was the upper bout of a Martin dread with the lower bout of a Gibson J-200, his guitars were just enormous and his 12-strings sound like a church organ in the room.
I love the RainSong Jumbo I bought from you guys, but this is way too cool… a jumbo dreadnought! Had decided to go all carbon fiber, but this is changing my mind!
damn that Super D is legit
Martin will print money with these 7:05 vs 7:46
already got a Super D....but I'm sure I could use another...😬
That's what she said
Man....love it. Tell you what..I'd feel like I had a super D, playing a super D...for sure. You can definitely sense them holding back, but not saying the same sentiment 😅😁
Whoa! A double D
I have an HD 28. It is 25 years old. I bought it when I could finally afford a Martin. Now, I sometimes, find it difficult to play and play a 00 body instead at 70 plus. So, Martin thinks a bigger guitar is a good idea? I have actually considered selling the guitar and buying a 00 or 000 in rosewood. I can see this guitar for people the size of NFL players. But not the rest of us
Interesting development for Martin. Against the grain possibly, so to speak. I sell guitars at the largest music store in my state. Currently we are well-stocked with Martin dreads and yet they aren't moving as well as in the past. Taking inflation out of the equation, our customers are seeming to prefer smaller bodies. OMs are desired and OOOs and OOs right behind.
After these you'll be working up to those monster Mexican type guitars, the ones the size of a barn door played with a cheesy grin!
But seriously, the bass boost on these super D (double DD's?) is very appealing. Martin definitely onto something new, not sitting on their laurels.
That’s what can happen when you let the grand grand children run a business you had founded in America after they wouldn’t let the son of a cabinet builder make guitars in Germany. (C.F. Martin)
A tremendous tone machine especially driven by Quintens hands.
That’s some tone cabinet.
Put the Koa one on the wall and didn’t want to pick it back up pretty as it is.
What do you think about gibson studio walnut jumbo acoustic vs double the price Gibson J 200 standard ?
This is no doubt a great fun guitar to play for yourself. But can you integrate it into a band without a banjo ?
Super D Duper!
Big D energy
Martin might draw me back
Saying Hey Paul...I've been in a few times. Love your store. I'd have to talk myself into the Koa...maybe a better Flatpicker but the Rosewood has that boom. Closer to a J200. And Koa is beautiful I have a few guitars, Ukes made of Koa. Plus the Acacia wood (Koa is in that family) is mentioned in the Bible decreed to Moses as the wood for the Tabernacle, Covenant Ark. For me thats powerful stuff. I love holding it and playing it. Maybe you can order me one trimmed in Gold....lol. Now that would be beautiful.
Martin getting into the portable baby grand piano business. Love it. #freetheD
The Super D is the ultimate bluegrass guitar.
DD, DXL, must have good shoulder and long arms! Not a couch potato guitar for sure.
The Guild D55 sounds bigger though.
If they make a Johnny Cash model it should be called the BBD.
