Was visiting my bud ‪@samuraiguitarist‬ and a Martin SC28e showed up so I figured we'd unbox it, plus I wanted to hear the Fishman Aura VT Blend system. Check one out for yourself:

I've owned quite a few high end Martins, and was impressed by the design. I even bought an SC-13e as my 'beater', and it's become one of my main acoustics. It sounds and plays that well.

Yes! Big fan of the sc13

nothing else sounds as good as a Martin-I grew up on that sound (dad had a 1945 D-28!) there’s a warmth in the tone without the loss of bright tones on the trebles-and it’s so balanced! i love how you talk about those details that make such a huge difference in playability-the perfect cut away and the neck design -great vid!

Samurai's flatpicking really does sound like it's gotten so much better!

was expecting an unboxing with a Samurai sword ... what a missed opportunity. Didnt get Any Danger AT ALL.😉

That model has got my interest. It's innovative.

Diehard Martin and Gibson fan here and I simply hate cutaways. Having said that, these two sound pretty darned good together. Love the 000-45 or OM-45, definitely GAS-inducing since I've never had a 40-series Martin of any sort.

Very cool unboxing, demo and dialogue. The ergo of the cutaway and neck profile certainly have their appeal for someone who uses upper register real-estate. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Aura VT enhance for a few reasons. 1. battery life is horrible. 27 hours? I get 4-6 months on a 9V from my Baggs Anthem or Baggs HiFi PU's. 2. The Enhance thumbwheel may add some top resonance for tapping and percussive thumping, but it sounds worse to my ears when any "Enhance" is introduced. (Personal preference) I just had an Aura VT Enhance removed from my Martin OM-28 Custom Cutaway a few days ago. Replaced it with a Baggs Anthem and it is more musical. (IMO)

I played one of those at Sweetwater a couple days ago and it is hands down the best acoustic guitar I’ve ever played in my life! The Mexican SE models are killer too I played them at Sweetwater.

Ive played the SC13e and SC13e special and loved it. Haven't bought one yet since I was waiting for an all solid wood version, but the price tags of the SC18 and 28 are a hug turnoff Do you happen to know if Martin is planning on making something between 13 and 18 that's at maybe $2K max? 😃

All you need is 4K and this guitar can be yours. Another guitar most of us can only dream of owning.

@cidnewman8032 Ай бұрын

I picked up an SC-13e for just over $1k, and for that, it's more than worth it. It sounds incredible, the neck feels like it's from an electric guitar, and the fret access is amazing. The design thru me off initially, but playing one changed my mind.

Get the sc13 and look for a higher paying job.

@@michaelvarney. 😂🤣😂 Mine pays fine, the SC-13 is my beater guitar, and I highly recommend it! I like it as much as my 00EC and my Taylor 714ce, and I can take it places I'd never take the others, including an SC-28.

Like all guitars you unbox and recommend, this is NOT available for lefty’s. This is so frustrating! Not a single Martin, D’Angelico, Carbon Fiber, Traveler guitar model (and others) you’ve shown on your (awesome) KZfaq videos come in a lefty version. It’s ridiculous. I get it that lefty’s are only about 10% of the population, but the disparity is glaring when SWEETWATER has over 5,000 electric guitars for righty’s and only about 275 for lefty’s. I checked those numbers today. Martin doesn’t even have a filter for Left Hand dexterity on their website. Neither does D’Angelico. It’s beyond disheartening. 😢 I took up guitar last year and have learned so much from you. In fact, thanks to you, I’m well past mere “cowboy chords”, have a solid grasp on music theory, pentatonics, chord inversions, etc. I’m ready to upgrade from my starter electric and acoustic guitars. However, none of the ones I want are available for a left handed guitarist. It’s bad enough my brain has to reverse everything I see online for lessons because it’s all right handed. I’d at least like to be able to buy the better guitars that you often showcase.
