    There seems to be a slight relativly muted quality to the Sitka top that the Adirondack breaks free from. I don't know if thats the top variety or the glue or any number of things, but that's my take away.

  • @russellzauner
    @russellzauner 3 дня назад

    Crisp but not clattery or clacky, nice. This is a guitar that lives to be in a studio or beat up in the woods at a gnarly picking session. By gum that's a beautiful light but not thin timbre. It's like if a summer morning breeze was a guitar; gently pushing through your curtains and artfully tickling your skin and hair but with the strength to punch through the glass if you should close the window.

    I own one of these Music Villa Martin Custom Shop 000-18 VTS with torrified Adirondack top s. The Adirondack seems to match my voice better, has more headroom, and the MVCS comes with Golden Era Adirondack bracing and a thinner top. Great sounding guitar, especially after playing it a lot. Thanks, Paul and Quinton.

    Thanks! Very interesting. I remember the first time I heard the differences between a 000-28 with a ‘normal’ spruce top and one with an Adirondack top. I was amazed at how good the one with the Adirondack top sounded and I convinced myself to save and invest in a great guitar with an Adirondack top. What I didn’t really realised was the fact that in this search (that started on the internet, watching RUclips channels like yours) I factually only heard the Adirondack appointment to rosewood guitars. And I always loved the Adirondack versions more. BUT….. (there had to be a but, wouldn’t you agree? 🥴)… I am a ‘hog type of guy’. I just love the warmth and the more mid focused character of guitars with mahogany back and sides. And I couldn’t wait until I finally found a video of a 000-18 with an Adirondack top. I’m not sure, but I think it was a video on your great channel. And…. I didn’t like it! There’s quite a huge difference in my opinion between normal spruce and Adirondack. I remember me thinking that this could be a little exception to ‘the rule’, but then I found another example and now I find myself commenting on this video, concluding that Adirondack tops work amazingly well on rosewood guitars, but I don’t really like them on mahogany guitars. By no means do I think it sounds bad, but it seems to take away a large chunk of all the things I love about mahogany guitars like Martin’s 18 series and the J-45 for instance. I consider myself extremely lucky to already own three beautiful mahogany guitars (J-45, 000-18 and a 00-15m). But when I (can) go for a good rosewood guitar, I’d probably be looking for something with an Adirondack top (and bracing! I never believed THAT would make a difference, but it absolutely does!). Sorry for my lengthy comment and thanks for another insightful video! 🧡🧡🧡

    I went in to the store sure I was walking out with the 000. After paying them both side by side I went with the 00. It had a richer warmer sound to it than the 000. Could have been the day, the specific guitars, or was in my ears, but that’s what I did and I have no regrets. I like the smaller body as well. I have two dreadnaughts and wanted something smaller to bang around.

    Correction, 8:13, Anthem has an under saddle pick-up and PZM mic with 250Hz crossover between them, the pick-up focusing on the low frequencies, and the dial you need the tool to adjust should probably be set at 75% (the mic can be over-driven, from what i've heard someone else say). Anyhow, would've been nice to include the internal mic on the K&K Sound guitar to hear that, but yeah, i hadn't heard of the HiFi, does seem to be the best one. I wonder if I would feel the same if the comparison was done on classical nylon guitars? Thanks guys!
