All of the Martin 15 Series also have what they call a Modified Low Oval shaped neck. They also all have the standard 1 11/16's inch neck width at the nut. BUT if you can find a 12 fret 000-15 with the slotted headstock, that one does have the wider 1 3/4 inch neck width; which is better for finger picking. Martin stopped making the wider neck version last year. However, you may find a new one if you shop around. You probably wont find a used one; because people that have them don't want to part with them.
I do a lot of finger picking on my standard width 000-15. But back when I started playing (40 plus years ago in the dark ages) that was the only neck width you could usually get. So I've learned to adapt. They also sound fantastic recorded!
