Use brighter strings, like 80/20, if you want to increase the perception of sound projection. This guitar has a broad range of tonal possibilities. I wouldn't be without mine. Also, in addition to playing a 000-15M, have someone else play it to you so you get an idea of what it really sounds like. A nice heavy V-Pick also brings out a fat, loud sound from it.

Last easter weekend I played a Tweedy for a couple hours at the Sam Ash in LA. It was awesome in every respect. As I considered whether I should try and negotiate something with my wife the following morning before leaving for home, I checked the LA craigslist and found a 000-15sm in Long Beach- 2001, all stock, hadn't been played in awhile, dead strings, etc. But it was clean, ding and crack free, and a motivated seller. That now hangs in my bedroom for about 1/4 the cost of the Tweedy, which retailed for neighborhood of $2500 or so.
I love it and for the price, it can't be touched.

I'm not sure if Sweetwater carries Larrivee or not but I picked up a used 12-fret Larrivee OM-03 in sunburst that is stunning. Great full neck, loud as any spruce topped guitar I've played, and tone to die for, all for about $1000 less than your budget. Look into these.

Seems like the Martin 00-15e Retro might be a good fit?
The neck on the retro series really isn't that thin- it is more that it doesn't get much bigger as you move up the neck.... And ifn ya want more noise you could plug in. All stage ready and such  Happy hunting madhat.

Agreed. I played a 000 on Tuesday and it's been haunting me since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another vote for the 000-15SM...

Another thing I was curious about was the richlite on the Tweedy. Ive never played, much less owned, a guitar with that stuff on it. Actually, can say the same for the morado on the 00015sm. At first i was a little uneasy about the prospect of paying over $1500 for a guitar with anything other than traditional woods for the bridge and fingerboard, but i dont think there is a real reason to be.

Well aftwr days of obsessing over virtually every Martin model in the $1500-3000 range I think ive finally decided to pull the trigger on the Tweedy. Mostly came down to versatilitt, nut width, and neck shape. I just wish Martin offered a short scale, 1 3/4, v neck guitar in that price range. I also thought really long and hard about the 000-15sm, the new 000-17, and the OM28s. The tweedy just seemed to have the ability to cover more ground. Could be wrong though, I suppose.
