Kramer Big Skye Example


This is not a "guess what guitar this is"  kind of thread.

It is meant to offer short examples of two Martin guitars to see what people feel about what they sound like.

Each guitar has its own personality even within the same model or very similar models, as anyone knows who has sat in a guitar shop and played two or three different D-28s side by side.

Give these a listen and feel free to comment on how they differ, or not, and what you like about one or the other or not etc. 

And if you were going to buy one of them, which one might you choose?

Two different guitarists play Guitar #1 followed by Guitar #2, exhibiting traditional blues and modern fingerstyle. 

This was an impromptu recording in a casual setting, no effort was made to play perfectly, or have the guitars perfectly in tune, etc. 

A Zoom H1 portable stereo recorder was used to capture the audio. I feel it did a very good job capturing the tonal signature and personality of each guitar.

Files were dumped into Reaper and edited, but there is no compression or special effects involved.

The actual guitars will be mentioned later on, here and at One Man's Guitar onemanz.com. 

But I thought starting with the blind taste test would be worthwhile and most helpful for the actual potential buyer.
