In this video I am comparing one cheap (better to use the term 'affordable though!') guitar to an expensive one. The guitars look really similar, but... do they sound similar? Let's find out!

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

[dandolin]

Damn guitar better play itself for $7000

[passdasalt]

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."

[RDVaughans]

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

[fredhuelsbeck]

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

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.

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.

After six beers they all sound the ssme

[rgwak]

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

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😊

[KunalKumar-jtxl]

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

[fostervf]

They both sound like my phones speaker.

[Mohammedaagh]

I can make a $7000 sounds like $5.


Edit: Wow all the likes, I didn't think I had such a rare talent

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.

[deecowgill]

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

[ctcboater]

You've never heard me play my $3000 Gibson. You'd probably say "That's a pretty nice $50 guitar...

[diegoarota]

Doesn’t matter what guitar it is, at any price point, Paul’s playing makes anything sound good

[kaitlynmullins]

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

[libertyjustice]

I had a good friend who was a Luthier of both electric and acoustic guitars and he told me that NO guitar is worth $2500 dollars or more based on the wood and materials used or labor. His guitars were 100 percent handmade and never cost more than $800 dollars. I agree with him.
