Default Custom Martin Burst 000

I am thinking of making a custom Martin 000 that basically looks like the Jeff Tweedy Model

I know it would have to be full Mahogany and have that old school burst.

Should I order a custom 000-18 in solid mahogany, or a custom 000-15 is solid mahogany?

Sorry for the lack of replies. The main difference in those two models, which you may already know, is that the 15 has hybrid bracing and a M/T neck, while the 18 has scalloped bracing and a dovetail neck. The custom 18 would be more based on that alone. Good luck!

Well, the Jeff Tweedy is a standard scale 14-fret guitar, so you should really model it after an OM.

Andy i think it's a deep body 00, so that make it more challenging. Good luck!
