When I bought my last and final guitar I had a list of wants. Getting everything you want in one guitar was a goal I never expected to meet. I wanted an adirondack top but I didn't look to wait for the top to age out... so I was more interested in a used guitar. Brazilian was way beyond my budget and Madagascar was a possibility if I could find the right one. I definitely wanted the warmth of rosewood. A 1.75" nut was a must. 14 frets & dreadnought size was prefered. I felt an adjustable truss rod was essential for me. I prefer mahogany for the neck. Neck shape was something I just had to try out. I had no preconceived preferences and was open to just going by feel. I like ebony for bridge & fretboard. I was really moving to more finger picking and wanted a bit more room for string spacing at the saddle. I found 2 5/16" was ideal for me. I was set on a K&K pure mini as a pickup with a preamp that would get me closest to actual acoustic sound. The Zoom A3 fit that need. I like that special base woof you get from a Martin. It all came down to the neck. The modified V neck was quite unusual at first... the more I played it, the more I liked it. I have a 2008 Martin D-28 Marquis (EIRW). Wow. Just love everything about it.

Thanks for this good video, Elderly. You did leave out one important variable in how a guitar feels, fretboard radius. A traditional Martin has a 16" radius which is flatter than the 12" radius found on traditional Gibsons and Guilds. I prefer the 12" radius; others prefer 16".

Everything here is pretty spot on, though I would add just a couple tweaks to the back/sides tonewood description. The tone from guitars with solid sapele back/sides is very much like mahogany, but with a slight increase in treble response. Extra "shimmer" if you will. Players looking for maximum warmth in the trebles and midrange like fingerstylists or solo guitarists will prefer mahogany, while others looking for a little extra brightness to cut through when playing with other instruments might choose sapele. Since mahogany has been widely used for many years in contrast to the relatively new to the tonewood scene sapele, mahogany guitars will generally demand a higher price. Also, I don't think rosewood has "dark midrange and treble" as described in the video. It is my experience that guitars with rosewood back and sides have a scooped midrange and stronger and brighter treble response than most any other tonewood save for maybe maple. When comparing two guitars that have the same specifications save for one having rosewood back/sides and the other having mahogany, the mahogany guitar sounds more pronounced and focused in the midrange with a warm, woody, earthy tone that has more fundamentals and less overtones. The bass is there but, with not as much prescence as a rosewood or cocobolo guitar. The rosewood guitar would sound more high fidelity with a wider frequency response as it has deeper bass and higher trebles with a lot of shimmer and overtone bloom. Kind of a "crystalline" sound. Rosewood is also (almost twice as) denser than mahogany, which can make the guitar slightly heavier and give it a slight edge when it comes to sustain. At the end of the day, it's all personal prefrence and it would be best to try both types out before making a purchase. Generally, "rootsy" players that like blues and similar genres prefer the sound of mahogany while other players that want extra bass, cut, and projection (flatpicking, bluegrass etc.) prefer rosewood. With all that said, there's been guitars I've tried that totally defy these generalizations, which shows that other factors like body shape, bracing, or construction method can have more significant impacts on how a guitar sounds than choice of tonewood.

The dreadnought they show, is that a Marlboro Miles guitar? They are pretty good quality and you can usually find them for decent prices. I have one, and once I replaced the nut and saddle with actual bone, instead of the plastic they come with, it turned out to be an awesome guitar, and a real steal for the price I paid for it. My advice, after you find a guitar you like, always check the neck to make sure it's true, this is probably the most common way people are taken on used guitars, always check the neck and fret height.

It's funny how many of these myths are taken for granted by some very expert people. The problem is that most of the above is simply not true. While he gets it correct that the different construction makes a huge difference he doesn't stop there and goes on into the common misconceptions. I think we all want to believe that one wood has a very different sound than another but really this isn't true. Or I should say only partially true. Each piece of wood vibrates at a slightly different rate. But you can have a piece of mahogany that vibrates exactly the same as a piece of spruce. All of the tone-woods vibrate at closely to the same, with variations from one tree to the next being more pronounced than one species to the next. Slight changes in the thickness of the wood will make more of a difference than either the type of tree or even the individual tree. The same goes for the bridge, saddle and the bracing inside. This is why changing something as simple as the saddle can make such a huge difference. What they don't tell you is that manufacturers actually use different thicknesses of wood depending on the type of wood and that this is actually why you hear a different sound from different types of wood. It's the construction and not the small differences in vibration. Ever notice that you can pick up two acoustic guitars from the same maker with the same strings and made exactly the same when it comes to wood and that they sound different? That is simply a variation from tree to tree but even much more importantly, slight variations in construction. A good luthier can make any of the tone-woods into a guitar with a certain sound depending on construction alone. They can make a bright sounding guitar with a mahogany top or a bass sounding guitar with a spruce or even maple top. The sides on a guitar have make no difference to the sound of the guitar and the back plays little role other than as reflection. Why do we accept these myths as fact? Well I think that manufacturers sell more guitars this way and we as customers also like to believe it. This gives us an excuse to go out and buy more guitars or a more expensive guitar at least. Now if you don't believe me that is fine. But if you are curious you can look up the actual physics of how an acoustic guitar works and why most luthiers who have worked with various tone-woods agree that it's not the wood, it's the construction. ps, the wood your electric guitar is made out of makes no difference at all!! It's not vibrating enough to matter to the overall sound. Again it's construction, construction and more construction.

So the sides and back being layered or high pressure laminate or just plain laminated, as opposed to solid wood, makes no difference to the sound? Just the price tag? I guess that's good to know being that I'm in the market for a new acoustic, 350 to 700 dollar range and all the different side and back options are making my head jumbled. Nice to know i should be looking more at the saddle and nut bring bone not plastic or graphite. I mean i knew, but i didnt know it was just as if not more important than which woods are used and whether they're solid (speaking about the sides and back really) I guess ill just have to shoot it out at guitar center. I live in Boston, went to the one in Kenmore square, no Martin's, no Taylor's. Bogus. Needless to say ill be going to the Mass ave GC from now on seeing as how they carry a way better selection of instruments. Anyways, thanks for the info in your comment. By all means if you see this, throw a brother a few tips. I'm coming off 20 years of playing the same Washburn D10N dreadnought, time to move on up.. 🤘
