For the fingerstyle part with Coen's lighter touch I clearly preferred the Reimagined. But for strumming and a heavier touch the Adirondack brings more headroom, power and body.

Hello guys , in my opinion , the reimagined sounds way better than the adi 20th one… I would pick it without any hesitation ! Thanks for the review.

I liked both of these, and I had to listen on headphones to hear the difference between these two D-28 models. For 600 less Euro, I'd probably take the Sitka topped D-28 as I liked it's tone. But, I don't lack for Adi topped Martin Dreads here at the house. I own a CS-Bluegrass-2016, and a D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged. Great video to celebrate your 20th Anniversary.

Happy 20th birthday guys! Great work. What would I like to see? Ok, exactly this- I'd like to see direct comparisons with Martin dreads and Faith Guitar dreads (Rosewood and Mahogany B&Sides). So, expensive v inexpensive. Ditto different body shapes, expensive/inexpensive. So we can see what we're getting for the money.

The accoustic fellows are back!!!
-
Great comparison! Side by side, the Adirondack was maybe a bit crisper to my ear. If not side by side, I'd probably never be able to tell the difference.
-
Yea I would say the Adi spruce hands down has more power to it and get up. Anyone that doesn’t hear that is have to question their reasoning. Is it because they don’t have an Adi top guitar or what? If I can save enough money up I’m going to get me one of those HD 28 Addies.
-
The adirondack (to me) sounds earthier, dryer, wilder (a bit like Australian bunya).
-
Nice idea!!! I prefer the sound of Adirondack in general. Rounder, more in the bass and treble. Everything I like ;) I've never been a fan of the very pronounced Martin mediums. For this, I have always preferred big Gibson, I don't very like small guitars (000). Here, the Adirondack seems to erase these mediums a bit. I really like.
-
Take your time with Adirondack!. Sometimes it takes some years, but then you blow the Sitkapspruce away! Customshop or not......
-
Adi seemed a tad brighter and the Reimagined almost seemed to have a touch more bottom end to my ears. Cool comparison. They say Adis open up over the years and Im experiencing that with my Yairi right now (which is Adi topped).
-
Both are sounding very Good! ... and great to know: Martin wants a Martin ... :) ...
-
sitka has a voice, addy has a choir
-
Yes
-
Great playing cool speck great idea.
-
The Sitka sounds bassier to me
-
-
Is it possible to make the same video with the om28 (sitka vs adi)???
-
Sitka for me all day long. I’m biased from gigging my Sitka 1999 HD-28 for the last 23 years, but In this back to back the Sitka has more ‘tone’.
