Hi all,
A few of my friends have been asking what is the benefit of spending more money on quality instruments - apart from the fact that it is fun!
So I recorded three acoustic guitars - one is a £100 Tanglewood, another is a £400 Freshman, and the third is a £1,000+ Martin.
It's interesting to hear the recorded difference between the guitars. There was definitely a difference in the feel - the Martin was light years ahead of the others.
What does everything think of the sound? I appreciate it is entirely subjective, and depends largely on how the instrument will feature in the context of a mix, but it's still an interesting comparison. I didn't change mic/position at all, to make it fair. Obviously in a recording you'd make the adjustments to get the best out of each instrument, but as a straightforward a, b, c comparison, I think it does the job.
