Everything I'd hoped for

I ordered this quite some time ago and it was worth the wait. I had an 000-15 a few years ago that I let go and have regretted it until now. This guitar is so easy to play (I don't have large hands, and it also is set up well), and while it doesn't have the volume of a dread, it sounds incredible. It is also a much prettier guitar than my previous 000-15 (Sapele), and I do like the vintage appointments. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Great Vintage Vibe

This is a GREAT guitar for the money, you sure can rely on Martin to put out great quality instruments. You can feel that "old school" in this guitar with the vintage appointments. A very simple guitar with alot of vintage vibe. It has a great sound right out of the box, but in time it will only get better. It has a very comfortable playing satin finish neck. The only thing that keeps it from a 5 star rating is the finish. I would prefer the glossy nitro finish. It is well worth the price you pay for it. I would HIGHLY recommend this guitar to both flatpickers and fingerstyle style players. You can not go wrong with a Martin.
