Hi there Todd, nice playing sounded great ! I had the opportunity to play this guitar about 4 months ago and the 000-15m. They have a warm clear Mahgony tone with a price point of around $ 1999.99 in my area of WI. I have a Martin DM 1998, which I am looking to upgrade. I played a D-18, D-28, HB-28, and D-35 also. Enjoyed them all as a beginner guitar player. Any recommendations are welcome. Thank you for sharing and guitar playing !

I recently purchased a 000-15m and love it. Wondering if I should add a 000-sm to my stable.

[@toddvossmusic7833]

@@donaldpeters338 congrats! The 12 fret will give you more bass, and if you don't need 14 fret access up the neck, it's very comfortable. String changes are more of a hassle with the slotted headstock. So, advantages and disadvantages. Thanks for watching.

I think it was Chet Atkins who once said that it takes a guitar 20 years to figure out that it isn’t a tree anymore.

@@rogerdsmith That's a great quote, never heard that! Thanks for sharing, cheers!

Hola buen video. Este modelo es mi favorito.... Pero es super cara!!. Ademas la distancia la encarece aún más!!. Sera justo el precio?? O sera más cara por la fama de la marca??

[@ramonsaldana6788]

Hola, saludos desde chile. Yo por aquí otra vez. Buen video. Gracias por compartir esto. Que tan delicada es una guitarra asi de madera solida?? En el contacto con el sol??

That guitar is so nice, sounds great, is it as expensive as Grand suzuki guitar? Thank you so much for sharing. Your are a great guitarist. Keep it up uncle.

[@toddvossmusic7833]

Thank you! Not sure what a Grand Suzuki costs, these are $2000- U.S. new, used around 1500-.

[@andynovak9838]

Todd are you using light gauge or medium gauge strings? Sounds great!

[@usualsuspect5173]

Do you think it's worth it to put a pickup in it?

[@toddvossmusic7833]

That's a personal choice. I sold the guitar, I think the new owner is putting a pickup in it. If you gig, a pickup makes sense, I generally prefer no pickup, but do put in some of my guitars. The right one would sound great in this.

[@andynovak9838]

Todd - another question please. What mic are you using to record this instrument?

[@toddvossmusic7833]

@@andynovak9838 Hi Andy, the mic is an Audio Technica AT 2021 small diaphragm condenser mic, I like it a lot.

[@2628064379]

Excellent demonstration. You have played the 000-15sm and the D-15. Which do you prefer specifically for fingerstyle?

[@toddvossmusic7833]

Thanks for watching! I would say the 000 for fingerpicking, but the D fingerpicks well also. Just depends if you want the deeper bass.

[@2628064379]

@@toddvossmusic7833 Thank you. I sold a D-15M year ago and am thinking about replacing it and possibly with the 000-15sm. My ears just hear a 14-fret connection punchier and more articulate on the Martin hogs but everybody seems to like the 000-15sm.

[@toddvossmusic7833]

@@2628064379 I prefer the versatility and lush depth of the D-15m. To each his own, trust your ears.
