The j15 is the Martin jumbo which is the 0000 size but deeper body. The 000 is a bit smaller body.
Compared to an 000, the j15 has more low end and volume which I tend to prefer. Even though it’s a jumbo it’s not huge like say the Gibson j100.
I’ve had it for years. I don’t know if Martin still produces them. You don’t see a lot of martin jumbos (around here anyways) but they are really great imho for the type of fingerstyle I play. I also have a martin j40 which has the same characteristics but with premium spruce and rosewood tone. Hope this helps.
