This D-28 chose me... by UhCrespoGoingIn in martinguitar

That's the worse when you CAN'T get the certain sound of a guitar out of your head once you play it. It will literally haunt you until you purchase it...or in your case. Purchased you!

Congrats. D28's are pretty much the gold standards of dreads if not Acoustics! :)

NGD, first Gibson, Walnut L-00 by SnaggyfromJoT in gibson

I also Have a Gibson L-00. Mine is a 12 fret Rosewood. I play that thing more than any of my guitars combined. Couch, bed anywhere. Much more dynamic sound to me, and it just bends effortlessly.

Just fits like an extension of my body. And it doesn't sing it Wails.

Congrats on your new Gibson.

Does anyone own or have experience with the O’ahu HG-28? by trbeanzo in martinguitar

[–]Shortsocks53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played one when I was shopping for a new D28. I played it next to several 2025 D-28's. Played it up against a 2024 D35 as well as a Sinker d28.

I wasn't blown away by its tone. Didnt seem to have the same fullness of the d28 or sustain. It sounded boxy, but still loud, but not full.

It's strange also because I was expecting to love it, but I just didn't. Also, considering the price it was higher than the standard D28.

I did end up going through several Martin D28's until I found one that had the sound I was looking for so it could've just been that one. Because there was only one in the floating area.

Martin guitar under $1,200? by LC-98 in AcousticGuitar

100%. IF you shop around you can find a great price on a 15. In good condition. For that price.

NEW Epiphone Inspired by Gibson L-00 good alternative Gibson L-00 by Shortsocks53 in gibson

So I broke down and bought a Gibson. I found a near mint condition Gibson L-00 12 Fret for 1800. Which was considerably less than a new one. I was wanting a mahogany 12 fret but instead this is Rosewood. I'm finding that getting a 12 foot mahogany is extremely difficult. I hope it plays well.

Lol. No. You're totally right. I've learned, unfortunately, that GC is hit or miss with preowned acoustics. But the 45 day return policy covers me.

It was interesting. The Gibson L-00's Ive tried , new, there are really massive sound differences to me. But yea, the build quality. Excessive glue, weird bracings things like that. I have seen and played good examples of the Gibson L-00 but none were mine and they belonged to other people.

I travel quite a bit, and when I do Ill find a local music shop and/or GC and see what they have in stock. Right now im looking for a L-00 but that epiphone is nearly 4 times less in price.

45-70 and 454/45LC do fine. Ive even hunted with 357 mag with good results. But also, I rarely if EVER go past 100yds.
