Maury,
I was listening to the comparison between the HD-28 and the D-41. Might be my old ears or low tech speaker on the computer, but I could not hear much difference between the two. Appreciate you taking the time to post all these comparisons.
Tom

You're very welcome!

Martin D-16E Mahogany vs Rosewood
 

Martin D-16E Mahogany vs Martin D-16E Rosewood. Which do you prefer & why?

Martin OM-28 Fishman vs Martin OM-28E LR Baggs
 

Here we compare the Martin OM-28E Fishman vs the Martin OM-28E LR Baggs. Which do YOU prefer & why?



The first half of this video features FLAT EQ. At the 1:11 mark, the video replays, and I applied some EQ to each pickup.

The Fishman system is the Aura VT Enhance with the Aura at 100% and the Enhance bridgeplate sensor on 75%.

The LR Baggs Anthem-equipped guitar is set with the Lyric bridgeplate mic at 100%.

The guitars are plugged into the Mesa/Boogie Rosette Amp, with the EQ nearly flat. I have a very slight cut in the high midrange to combat some quack. The amp's direct XLR output is fed direct into my computer - you are not hearing the amp's speaker and there are no mics used.

Here we compare two Reimagined Martin D-42 guitars. Both were built in 2020 and they're less than 3 months apart in age. Strings are in fair condition on both. We'd love to know your thoughts and what gear you're listening with. Thanks!

Martin D-42 vs OM-42
 

Maury compares the Martin D-42 and the Martin OM-42. Which do you prefer, and why?

I find that the CEO 7 responds better to a lighter strumming touch, at least for me. I agree that the OM 28 sounds fuller strumming, yet I love the complexity of the CEO 7 for finger picking. I already own both-sorry Maury but thanks for these great comparison videos.

You're very welcome and don't ever be sorry for owning great Martins ;)
