Here today to look at the [A] Martin D18 [N] versus the Gibson J45.
Two of the most significant guitars in acoustic guitar history.
I think, anyway.
The Martin D18 and the Gibson J45.
Both have Sitka spruce tops.
Both are X-braced.
Both have mahogany back and sides.
Both have mahogany necks.
Both have Grover Rotomatic tuners.
Some differences in the two models.
The Martin has a little bit bigger body.
We may expect a little bit less volume from the Gibson and maybe a little bit more boominess from the Martin.
Just purely based on size.
Another huge difference between the two is the scale length.
The Martin comes in at 25.4 inches, where the Gibson J45 is 24 3⁄4.
They both feel and play very different.
Which one sounds better?
Well, we're going to have to listen to the two and find out the difference.
It may not be which one's better.
It just may be which one you like more.
