Martin 15 (000 or OM)
Resuming my search for a Martin mahogany.
I've had a lot of these (000,OM,J,OMC,000-M,D) so have an idea what I like. Definitely want the 1-3/4" nut and a 14-fret - every one I let go of (except one) was because I never could abide the narrow nut. I kept coming back to them because I lvoe these guitars but couldn't play them comfortably. Soooooo I want a small body 000 or (preferably) OM. My ideal would be the older 1990's variants with the gold foil rosette (not because of the rosette but the wood is slightly different.) Perfect choice is OM-15 then OMC-15, then 000-15

LA Guitar Sales sells a custom run of OM-15s with 1.75” nut and 2 1/4” spacing at the saddle. Looks like they have three of them available at the moment...

I saw a used OM15 custom on GC's used listing yesterday. Of course, no specs are given... Good luck with your search.

Thanks Ray.....yeah I saw those. Ideally Id like a used one as those are fairly pricy - Martin has a 1.75" OMC-15ME new for $1559 and I think I can pick one up a little lower. But I really love the older family with the gold foil rosettes (the woods are a tiny bit different in that era).

Thanks Steve - I did check GC. The ones they seem to have are those (ugly) streetmaster ones with spray painted surfaces etc.
