00 Guitars From Martin, Collings and Bourgeois

John from Maple Street Guitars puts these three great 00 guitars through some paces.

Bourgeois owner here. The Collings sounds best to my ears

[Scorpsie]

I just bought that bourgeois.. still getting used to it. Enjoyed your playing!

[ronnyskaar]

I have the collings. 12 fret. Am I happy? YES!!!

John, I really loved the sound of all three OO's. Thanks for another terrific edition from maple Street. Jack

Baking the top sure wmakes a big difference in opening up the sound. And, that Bourgeois is going to be world class once it ages.

[Rinocalandra]

You play well, and thanks for making a video where you can listen well the sound of the guitar. I own (and I truly love) my Collings OM 2h, but the Bourgeois sounds great. Martin very nice guitar, but (in my opinion) other 2 superior

[fanooch]

They all sound great to me. I would be happy with any one of them. Thanks

[tanukibrahma]

These all sound great. I have a Collings 002H 14-fret I love. It has the clarity displayed in this demo.

They're all great guitars. I am probably in the minority, but I prefer a sitka top over an adirondack. So the Collings has an advantage over the Martin due to the baked sitka top. However, I love the woody tone of a Martin. Can't go wrong with either guitar.

Can't go wrong with any of them, but the Collings has that extra "something" on the end of the notes. Hard to articulate (😉) in words. Collings are world class to my ears, and everyone I've played has that extra "thing" about them.

[slbolfing]

I love Martins (have3), but they just got progressively better! The Collings is awey, but the Bourgeois is surreal!!!

[christopherpederson]

collings sounds phenomenal, bourgeois does sound better imo

[scottmackie]

John, lovely demo as always. Perhaps you can learn me what you are playing for the demo's you do next we are in the shop at the same time.
