Beautiful playing! Beautiful guitar! i’ve already decided on the sc. just can’t decide between 18, or 28. Also i would change the strings. What do you use?
This song and playing was so wonderfully musical and sweet. Well done. Thank you for sharing your talent. Was that really. an SC-28E? It doesn't look like one.
I have been waiting for Martin to make a version of this guitar with solid tone woods. I like the innovations in the body design. But it's more expensive than a OM-28. Does it sound better than an OM-28?
Hi @@donaldklein8694, It sounds different because it's a completely different bodyshape. Sounding better is a 'personal understanding'. The best thing to do is go to your local music store and try the OM-28 next to the SC-28E, so you can hear the difference for your self! 🙂
@@donaldklein8694 I played for many years my OM signature model and the new SC28E sounds of course different as the body shape is different, but I really love the way the SC28 sounds, to me it sounds more open compared to the OM, somewhere between OM and M model. The feel of the new neck (low profile velocity) is really incredible, I never have had a guitar that is so easy to play and the access to the register is so great !
More or less, we didn't change the action or intonation or anything on the guitar. Jacques plays with a lighter string gauge, the only thing we did was change the strings for a lighter gauge.
Your playing is beautiful!!
Thank you !
Wonderful playing
thank you

Thanks for your comment ! Yes it is an SC28E, on the video, I just have ebony bridge pins that I put on the guitar
@@JacquesStotzem Magnificent playing sir! The ebony bridge pins add a nice touch. Thank you for the reply and the great demonstration.
@@gair1944my pleasure !
Are we hearing a mix of live mic and direct? Would love to hear it without the direct added.
I want one
Good idea :)
Really great playing. Can a collaboration with Tommy Emmanuel be in the near future?
Thanks for your comment and I would be very pleased of a collaboration with Tommy, but nothing is planned !
I just wondered if the back and sides are solid Indian Rosewood? Sounds good though.
Hi Michael!
Yes, back and sides of this SC-28E are solid Rosewood.
On the SC-18E they are solid Mahogany.

1:39 you know you were about to go into welcome home (sanitarium) right there. Don't try to play it cool 😏
Is this guitar straight out of the box from the Martin factory?
