great guitar.......great player!

Take my money Epiphone and hire this man! This is the best demo I’ve seen on this instrument.

Fantastic playing these wounderful guitars 😊

Alvarez all the way, Great video thumbs up

I’ll put Alvarez Masterworks, or Eastman E series guitars against ANY of the “legendary” guitars models from the major guitar brands and wouldn’t feel “under gunned” in the slightest. The only guitar that I found that compared to the overall sound quality of my mda70ce, was a new Martin D-45 I had the chance to check out a couple years ago. Even then it could only match the sound of mine…. At almost 10x the cost mind you. I’ve owned several Taylor’s, and they couldn’t touch my masterworks. I’ll never buy another Taylor. The only other guitar that I’d want that a Masterworks or E series, is a Gibson Songwriter, for no other reason than I just want one.

The Alvarez had a high response acutely precise sounding

Terridic video. You let the guitars do the talkin'. Thanks. And BTW, I'm saving thi video to learn some of the licks you played. :)

Excellent player

D-35 seems to provide a bit broader canvas which is irrelevant without the proper artist.

I love mine but it's going in the wood chipper too. Man you can play👌

Absolutely amazing. Great job fellas

Holy cow, Delvin. 😳 Outstanding. Subscribed ✅ from the Georgia coast.

Thank you, you are an excellent guitarist. A very good and informative video. The best I have ever seen on this guitar

Both of you are extremely talented! Great example of the "chip off the ole block"!

This is my new favorite music channel!

Great playing!!! I'm now a subscribed fan!!!

Great playing man! Stop selling yourself short, I get it, but you’ve got TOO MUCH humility! I’d really like to know the name of that second song, beautiful tune!

To me it seemed the martin is a bit more complex more nuanced sound

Wow, that’s some incredible playing my friend

The last song you played was the Beatles "Here Comes The Sun." Both guitars sounded great but the Martin had a little more bottom end. I think you played the Alvarez better. You seemed more comfortable with it. I don't know if it was a difference in actions or what.

I really enjoyed this video. I bought a D-35 in April 2023. I love my guitar and the other Martin models are all great. Good video …… thanks.

A friend of mine had a music store in Germany. I had a Martin, I don't know which one exactly, for a price of $3,000 or so. It seemed like a dream to me. I didn't have that money and he had the idea of hearing, listening to 5 different guitars that were in my budget ($500) including as a basic Ono the Martin. Ibanez, Alvarez, Yamaha were within my reach. Finally I bought the Alvarez and in comparison with the Martin .... Uffff sounded so much better to me. That was 1993 and it sounds even better today.

Nice picking Sir! Just subscribed.

Love both but I stay with my d-35 😉. Love Martin guitars ❤️

Delvin, what is your opinion of the Alvarez MD70BG? Do you just prefer the sound of mahogany?

Nice job great review I think you made it sound better than most can!😊

The Martin has a fuller richer sound but with that being said, the sound of the Alvarez is very close to the Martin for a lot lower cost.

Some mighty fine playing on both guitars. I had a hard time deciding which I like best. I have a less expensive Martin MMV I purchased about ten years ago and thought about upgrading to a D-35. As you said if you sit down in a room and played both, you may find a totally different sound that you like. Thank you for a wonderful video.

Greetings from Ecuador, thank u for sharing, guitar sounds good enough to justify its buying.

I have an HD28 Adirondack custom and it’s truly the most amazing guitar I’ve ever played and heard. But I have to say this D35 wow. It sounds great. Martin is by far the best guitar out there across the board.

Delvin you have amazing skills!

Man I’m not even in the market to buy either of these guitars I’m just here to listen to your excellent pickin’

Hello. Great playing. How do you find the low frequencies? Doesn't it sound with quite a lot of highs and less lows?

Jesus Christ!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ The Lord has blessed you with incredible Skill. I feel like ELVIS PRESLEY is raised from the Dead - as a Guitar-Player.🙏☝💪 I am serious Man. I am electrified by your Performance. This is another Level and i am considered a Pro-Streetperformer. Play the Guitar too...but Holy Cow: This is way beyond professional playing. Where have you learned all this Skill? Who was your Teacher, Inspiration or Master? I hope you are saying your Prayers. You are a very blessed Man🙏🙏🙏

Wouldn't the Alvarez MD 60 compare more to a Martin D18 since they both have mahogany sides and back? I have been looking for a review on the Alvarez MD 70 because it has rosewood sides and back like the Martin D28.

You look like Ben Aflec playing the guitar

Thanks man! I really like the Alvarez, but I have to say when you play here comes the son with the capo up on the neck, I personally like the clarity of the Martin.

G.day from Tasmania. You are one fine guitarist!

Man I like them both, but sure am not surprised. Great video.

Great Job 👍🏻

💯

Stellar playing on both guitars and I'm pretty sure you could make a gas- can with strings sing. I just bought an older model HD28, but I've had D35's in the past that I really liked. Both have a place and I really could't choose one over the other.

Which one would you choose between this and the Alvarez MD60BG?

Showed up in my feed again today.....yes sir! It's a good guitar, but you make it sound great!

Are you self taught or did you take lessons?

When I recently bought my Martin D28 I bought a gorgeous sounding guitar that will be passed on as a family treasure. I also secured a peace of American history.

Alvarez is very good but the martin really is better but not 1900 better

The two guitars are pretty different. In this particular comparison I prefer the Alvarez MD60BG to the Martin HD28. The Alvarez sounds more dynamic with more clarity. But it could be a very good Alvarez and an average Martin perhaps - so don't know if I'd always prefer the Alvarez or not.

Gibson has always cheapened the Epiphone name since they bought their competitor.

There is a Martin sound that has complimented so many songs from the 60s 70s and more that many pros have gravitated to it. It has helped make the song what it is. The Alverez is close and at the price point would be a good stepping stone to your Martin down the road. Or maybe you'd like A Yari..?
