Which one sounds better to you?

[numb fingertips]

Just wanted your opinion. Which one do you like the sound of?

[mmasters]

I like the newer one better. In my opinion 60s Martins were overbuilt. The newer Martins are not as overbuilt and generally sound better.

New one sounds richer and ringing nicely. It sounds open too.

The newer one sounded brighter, more open. But given my taste in guitar sounds I didn't like either one of them.

In this video I preferred the '64. In person who knows.

They sound somewhat different from each other. IMHO, neither is "better" than the other, just different.

[Dru Edwards]

I preferred the '64. The new one sounded brighter but also more tinny. I'm listening through my cheap laptop speakers though so who knows.

Agreed.

Personally, I liked the old in the fingerpicking portion but the new on strumming.

[tippy5]

The 64 for me. Nice sustain and better depth of sound. The new one sounds very alive too.

[Steadfastly]

Definitely the newer one.

[jemartin]

I definitely liked the new one... on the fingerpicking portion.
I definitely liked the 64' ... on the strumming portion!

[mercy]

definitely a difference but which you like is up to you.

Exactly my opinion

[upsidedown]

I liked the '64.

I can't hear any reason to go chasing 'vintage' when the 'new' version sounds like that.
