I've owned this guitar for about 9 years and love it. It is by far my favorite guitar and I own 11 with some costing 4x the cost of this. The only reason I gave it a 3.5 on features is because it doesn't have many features. Which is part of its charm. The matte finish ages beautifully in places that your arm and body touches it making it look vintage in just a few years. Very comfortable to play and loud enough for any home although not as loud as a dreadnought. Balanced sound either finger pick or flat pick. Set up was great right out of the box. I would highly recommend this to any level player.

I was looking at guitars and planning on getting a more advanced and expencine guitar but I love the sound and the feel of this one. It is made in the U S A. it might not look like mutch but the sound is amazinf and it feels great. I also have a glossy shiny guitar already and I want something that dosnt have any lauer. If I brought that camping the finish would be destroyed. This has the sound and the feel but lower mantenence as far as I know.

I bought one about 5 years ago. Every guitar player that touched it said,"if you ever sell it I want it". I'm a part time lutiher so I have seen lots of guitars. I sold it for personal reasons and have been sick ever since. Saving money to orer another hopefully after Christmas I have one again. The next time some one will have to pry it out of my dead hands! Wonderful feel, I did very little adjustment, You will love it!

This is such a fantastic guitar. The stock action was perfect for me and is extremely playable. This guitar is a double ought body style (thus the 00 in the model), and is smaller than a dreadnought or triple ought. The great thing about a shallower body is that the higher strings (e,B,G) sound just as loud/prominent as the lower ones (E,A,D). And don't think that just because it is shallower that it is quiet. Despite its size, I found that this guitar was actually louder than a lot of the guitars with dreadnought and triple ought bodies. The solid mohogany throughout gives it such a beautiful, rich sound. I was at the Martin guitar factory the same day I bought it at a local shop, and this guitar actually sounded better than some of the extremely high-end martins.

The only cons- low e-string buzz isn't terrible but it's easy to trigger Personally, the triple ought body style fits in my arms better, but I'm a fairly tall person so thats all personal preference

I've had this 00-15 for a couple of weeks and can't put it down. It's my second Martin and the size makes it comfortable to play. The action was perfect out of the box and the sound and sustain was amazing.
