theflyingturtle Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have to say that my favorite Martins have always been small and brown. That looks like a great couch guitar. If I ever buy a vintage guitar a prewar 00-17 is at the top of the list. Merry Christmas to you BBG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 How'd you know what date it was ? Pickguard, fret markers, and a couple other things changed in 2010 and they named the new series 15M. Got a all hog 15 myself. Nice guit. Congrats and enjoy. . B) .

MorrisrownSal Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The tuners and the gold rosette decal date it pre 2010. I don't know a lot but I know the 15 series really well. Have owned them all, and still own the D15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Congratulations BBG! I have the cutaway electrified version, 000c-15e, great guitar. I haven't played it much since I got my 'origin of the species' type of all mahogany 1944 Martin 0-17. Which is the same tone but fuller and well, older! The 15 sounds new next to the 17, even though it is nearly 10 years old. It could probably get sold, but it really isn't worth much now to sell and it has the Fishman pickup and I have a great sound image for it in my Fishman Aura box! So I am guessing we are about to hear some blues picking? Otherwise, it is hard to justify getting a relatively 'budget' guitar while you have those other beauties of yours....... Make sure it is setup nicely and away you will go! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Congratulations.I've been tempted more than once to buy a 000 0r 0015 when they come up at a good price on ebay. I've enjoyed the sound and playability of all I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Grunt, these record so incredibly well. It's an awesome choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm told they record well, but I couldn't bond with any of the three or four loaners I've borrowed over the years. All felt square-ish and un-cozy in my lap, so I could never muster any interest. Can't wait to hear it in your capable hands, though. Congrats on the new kid!

fortyearspickn Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 CONGRATS! Looks like a nice mellow companion for those long nights of musical introspection and dissection. I'm sure you'll bond by New Years ! G'Luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Sweet guitar. I'd never get out of my recliner if I had that in my lap. Looking-forward to hearing you work your magic on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nice one, i owned a 00-15 and loved it except i hated the super think neck profile and 1 11/16 th nut width so got rid of it ... miss it though. Youre getting rid of the J-29 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 The j29 has gone to another home Was a nice guitar but was basically a lesser of my j45. Too similar Had Martin dreads and they were a bit like having a Porsche to nip to the shops Am enjoying this little one a great deal. Don't feel much difference in the nut , the profile is lesser but am liking it so far The strings feel like 10's so there's fun to be had with a new set of 11's or 12's Can be heard on the Neil young thread Thanks for the well wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nothing to do with anything except you are Irish, BBG.... Watching the TV while having dinner and the shows we normally watch have been replaced by a show on Irish Customs Stop Search and Seize. So I can tell them from experience that the labrador search dog is not fed enough and is not 'indicating' dope resulting in full body and gear searches of a couple of hapless travellers, but of course has found food items in their bags! They probably need a beagle. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
