In our latest TME Shop Vlog, staffers Andy and Adam compare the Martin Custom Authentic D-28 and the Collings D2HA Traditional - two builder-specific takes on a vintage-style, 1937-inspired dreadnought with Indian Rosewood and adjustable truss rods.
When we asked you what guitar should go head-to-head with the D-28 CA, the answer was clear: a Collings. So here it is, an A/B demo and deeper dive into how Martin and Collings voicings differ overall.
Both guitars were recorded using an Ear Trumpet Labs “Edwina” microphone for a natural, real-room tone. Watch, listen, and let us know which sound speaks to you.
