Congratulations!
I am still playing in my Martin OMC-15ME that I bought a couple of months back, but it it a great guitar..... I will go back a way......I read years ago that the Martin OM15 was the one for blues fingerpicking, but the shop didn’t have one and were not even going to order one - they were selling the older 000-15 like hotcakes. Next to it on the wall was the new Martin 000c-15e, cutaway with Fishman pickup and barn door but the narrower 1 11/16” nut. Even though I wanted 1 3/4”, I bought it to try it and thought I could trade it for the OM15 if one came past! I loved the tone as I broke it in but did really want the 1 3/4” nut......which I never saw anywhere, ever! Traded mine after I bought a 1944 Martin 0-17 with the full age mahogany tone, and never thought about the OM15 again until I looked at the webpage of a guitar shop near me recently...........WOW! They just got in the Martin OMC-15ME with 1 3/4” nut and pickup, basically what I should have bought all those years ago!  I wonder if I would have bought or tried so many guitars if I had the OM15 to begin with......I don’t believe I would! BluesKing777.

So what style of music do most 15 series players here do?
I always read that fingerpicked roots/blues was great on a mahogany top, but anything is possible...........what? BluesKing777.

Having a friend break in a new guitar for you. Now that's just perfect
