Martin Hd28 vs Larrivee D-03R

[Randy_R]

Never played a D-10, what's it sound like compared to a D-60?

D-10 has standard size soundhole (like a D-28)  and standard bracing. I haven't A/B'd it with a D-60 yet...

So why don't you bring your D-60 over to one of my monthly jam sessions and we can compare better  :WNK>

Well, I like apples (hah! just finished eating one...sticky fingers all over my keyboard!).  But other days a juicy orange sounds pretty good.

Personally, my experience has been that, across all price ranges, Larrivees tend to be more consistent in good tone than Martins.  Martin workmanship seems to be fine at all levels, but not necessary their materials; Larrivee comes out tops in that department, too.

JMHO.

I picked my D60 over a bunch of Martins, including a very nice HD28 Vintage. First and formost for me was sound. You can hear every note ring on the D60 while the Martins were muddy sounding.They didn't have the wow factor. Buy the guitar for the tone. Trust your ears.
