I was undecided between the 000 vs 00. I would have tried the 000-15m too but the GC didn’t have stock then. But they had 3 newly arrived 00-15m and I got to try all 3 guitars. 2 had low action (which I preferred) and 1 had higher action. I chose between the 2. Both sounded equally good so I chose based on workmanship and its serial number.

Here’s my NGD thread if you’re keen to read more:

It was a really nice guitar, I had it for a year but I much preferred a spruce top to mahogany sound wise. I'm looking at OM21s currently.

The OM-21 is a fantastic guitar. Simple and austere...no bling, but a tremendous tone and volume!

I've had an 000-15m for five years now, but I'm a strummer/flatpicker and it's perfect for that. If I were to play fingerstyle I would probably prefer the 000-15sm.

That said, the 000-15m is a great guitar. It doesn't quite have the tonal depth of a dreadnought, but it's more fun to play, and it can hold its own in an ensemble.

Thanks for the info! I'm trying to decide between this Martin and an Eastman E6D-TC with thermocured top.

It never really popped up on my radar much until I started looking for something more comfortable than a dread, with rosewood / sitka and the wider nut. Now it's all I think about I really like the tortoise shell binding and delicate lines compared to the 28.

I have smallish hands, short fingers and my 00015m is no problem fingerpicking and also the easiest to play acoustic I've ever played, including my buddy's Taylor 810.
