Gibson J45 vs Martin D18 : Acoustic Guitar Comparison 2023

Figured it was time to do an updated comparison of these two American acoustic titans. Both are 2023 models strung with D'addario EJ16's. Both are Spruce/Mahogany Dreadnoughts - the Gibson with round shoulders and a short, 24.75" scale; the Martin with square shoulders and a 25.5" scale. They're priced very similarly too. Let me know what you think about these guitars. Strumming 0:01 Flatpicking 1:04 Fingerpicking 2:36 Capo 4:40 Recorded with Zoom H8N, no additional processing.
