$295 vs $7000 Guitar | Cheap vs Expensive | That big a difference?

295$ is the expensive guitar to me. 7000 is a nice car in my world.

After six beers they all sound the ssme

After five years, I splashed out and bought a new set of $20 strings. Now my guitar is worth 50 bucks.

The best acoustic guitar is any one that you can't stop playing, inspires you to play on and on. I have some like that which cost me about $100 and some that sell for many thousands of dollars. When asked which is my favorite, I say "It's the one I'm playing."

The Martin sounds much better, warmer, but not $6,705 better.

Damn guitar better play itself for $7000

I'm not sure the Martin sounds "richer" but I'm sure it costs "richer".

Who can hear Martin guitar warm sound, it feels so good even it is expensive as hell.😂

At that price, does the Martin come with a lawyer to handle the resulting divorce?

Now do a video comparing the sound from a free cat to a $400 cat.

My latest acoustic is a Seagull, which I picked up for around $400 at a local music store. I couldn't believe the sound I got out of it, and it was infinitely more impressive to me than many of the high end acoustics. Every guitarist I show it to is immediately impressed by its price point.

Great post! After years of playing cheap and dreaming expensive, I finally bought my dream guitar, a $3500 HD28, last year. I'm very happy... but I still play my $300 Cort just as often😊

They both sound like my phones speaker.

I can make a $7000 sounds like $5. Edit: Wow all the likes, I didn't think I had such a rare talent

As the old saying goes, "it's not the wand, it's the magician." Paul D is such a great player, he can make the $295 instrument sound pretty darned good. Love watching him, and listening to him in action.

I honestly think that the Martin has a deeper tone to it...Hard to beat a good Martin!

the martin does sound "richer" in sound. No pun intended

I'm making my judgment using €20 speakers.

I really love this video, it's more about perspective and understanding. I'm a guitar teacher from Australia, have played alot and heard alot. I always purchased and played Maton guitars, they are beautiful instruments and absolute beasts plugged in. A few days ago I bought my first Martin, a new D28, and wow, just wow, how good can an acoustic guitar sound. I just went into a store and played guitars until I found the sound I wanted, it's very personal and that's why I love this video. The cheap acoustic guitar in this video reminds me of some of my Matons acoustically, it's a little thin and bright, but still sounds great. My Martin has that articulation, each chord is so pronounced and resonant, yet individual notes sing over the top with a bell like tone. Both instruments are great, regardless of the price. This is why a $300 guitar can sound amazing, just like a $7000 guitar sounds incredible. It's all about perspective, there is no right or wrong choice when it comes to finding the right acoustic guitar. Just buy the guitar that sounds and feels like home and you can't go wrong.

The Martin wood has probably been curing in a backroom for 15yrs. The Orangewood's just came out of the kiln. I'd be content with the Orangewood & still be able to live indoors for awhile longer. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
