Ashokan Farewell, Martin custom 0000-15m

My rendition of the beautiful melody by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. Played on a 2021 Martin custom 0000-15m (Gruhn Guitars), in dropped D tuning.

Beautiful ! Just had my first son named Kilian. This was the tune we played throughout the pregnancy the birth and drive home from hospital 🏥 Great sound, very rich! Great share 🙏🏼 I will need to look up the tuning and give it a shot. 😊

Love this guitar! I bought mine from Grunhs in 2014. It's my favorite guitar!

[@Darltornjacket]

Very cool. I have 6 all mahogany guitars. I will have to hunt one of these down

[@folkchick1]

Gruhns has a bunch of these right now.

Thanks Thom! Cheers

I love this guitar I got the 000-15 sm only thing that bums me out is that it didn’t come with a hardshow case and I spent an extra hundred dollars But I still love it they sound exactly the same the street master just has a little bit more of a vintage look in the soft shell case Is the nicest soft shell case I’ve ever seen I just really think it should’ve came with a hard shell

[@braniel2324]

By chance did this model come from Gruhn guitars? If so, I have the same one and I love it!

[@jpcampos]

Me too! I got one from them in 2014!

[@superdriver777]

I just found one with a sunburst finish on Reverb...ugh why do guitars have to be so expensive lol

[@SergeUnplugged]

Solid instrument indeed, what is that mic , CM4? thanks

[@toddvossmusic7833]

The mic is an Audio Technica AT 2021.

[@LonesomeTraveler]

Sounds good! What is the custom bit in that guitar? I've got a 000-15m burst from 2015 - is it the 0000 body?

[@toddvossmusic7833]

Thanks! Differences on this are wider top (16", 0000 size), genuine S. Amer. mahogany I think (not sipo), rosewood fingerboard and bridge (not katalox), forward-shifted scalloped x-brace (not A-frame, standard position, non-scalloped). I have a standard 000-15m also, which is a great guitar but quite different, not as loud or as big a tonal dynamic range. Will have to do a side by side comparison video sometime.

[@rodlevengood9424]

How is that guitar for finger picking

[@toddvossmusic7833]

Hey Rod, it's good for fingerpicking and flatpicking and strumming, very versatile, responsive and dynamic.

[@hobiecat901]

Wow, That guitar has a Rich Tone. I wonder if all of the 000 15m's sound this Good?

[@johncahill1985]

It’s the mahogany you’ll never get the beautiful rich tone From anything else
