Best Acoustic For Worship? | Why I Picked The Martin 000-15

[@SimplyBS]

I have a 00015M. I play it in a worship setting on Sundays I also play my D18 too. Variety! Lol but my 00015M had a L.R. Baggs M1 Active and recently put Elixir 80/20 Bronze on it. Whew boy! It sounds sooo sweet! Keep praising bro!

[@influentialworship]

Thanks for sharing!

What strings are on your guitar in this video and gauge, also what pick are you using? Thank you and great video and audio

[@influentialworship]

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve Ddarrio EJ 16 light gauge strings and honestly pick I’m not too fussy about. I think I was using a Dunlop .60 gauge.

[@sundaystrummer]

@@influentialworship Thank you with all the options out their to day would you recomend the Full Anethem as the 1st choice for a Martin 000-15M? Did you end up having to sand the light bracing around the sound hole down to mount the controls for the full anthem in the 000-15M?

[@dalemathison8293]

I have a 72 Ooo-18 Martin. Gift from my dad when I was in H.S. Used it much until found out about Taylors. Almost in my 70s now. Traded my Taylor for Boss harmonizer amp. Transitioning to playing Baritone guitar, will get Martin going needs TLC for repair. Question, does Martin make a Baritone?

[@influentialworship]

Not quite sure! Will have to look!

Martin 000-15m is a great all round music style guitar. I use mind for strumming Christian Contemporary, flatpicking bluegrass, blues 12 bar, blus fingerstyle. My next step is to replace the bleached bone saddle with fossil walrus ivory and change the bridge pins to fossil walrus jawbone for fatter trebles and harmonics. I did this to my Martin O-18 guitar and it sounds like a Martin OM-42 mini me. The Martin 000-15m is an outstanding guitar.

[@influentialworship]

It really is a great guitar!

[@faresoros07]

That’s my main guitar for song writing! I love it! Amazing guitar for being an American made and for the price…but never thought I could use it for worship music. I need to add an LR Baggs pick up (I have LR baggs in all my guitars) and I will be using it for worship. I was thinking of getting a Taylor for that but it seems that this guitar works great. Thanks for the review.

[@influentialworship]

Couldn't agree more! Glad it helps!

I also am a worship leader and have a beautiful 2012 Taylor which I really like but I'm looking to buy either a Martin or a Gibson dreadnaught....but....I really do like how well balanced and warm your guitar sounds. I will be trying a D35 and one like yours. Thanks for posting. God bless. 😊

[@influentialworship]

Awesome I think you can’t go wrong with any of those choices!

[@RonRivet]

​@@influentialworshipthank you. 😊

Man I have a 5,000 dollar budget on picking a lifetime acoustic guitar for worship. I’ve been going to all different stores to play every different guitar for a while now. I never paid any mind to the 15m until I played it in the store today. This guitar sounded better to my ears than any guitar in the shop, even better than Gibson’s, Taylor’s and other Martin’s that were at the 5k price point. I’m not even exaggerating. I just found your video. Love it man! Do you have any thoughts on the 00-15m with the smaller body or the 000-15sm with the classic look? I actually can’t decide between these three guitars now lol. I do think I like the even smaller body.

[@influentialworship]

Love it I absolutely love this guitar, especially with the Anthem system, and so do sound guys for worship. I actually almost went with the SM model. I honestly think you can’t go wrong. Probably a lot of it comes down to your playing style.

[@marklawrence9416]

Sounds great. Great for finger picking. A mahogany guitar offers a lovely mellow sound. Pick up offers a very natural sound. God bless.

[@influentialworship]

Indeed, I definitely love this combination

[@Jeffrey.T]

I stumbled across your channel while researching for my next guitar purchase down the road. I’ve always liked those mahogany 15 series guitars. I ended up buying a Martin special 16 style rosewood and I love it, but I still can’t stop looking at those beautiful Mahogany 15’s. A OOO might be where I land next time. I have that same pickup in my Alvarez MD60BG. Awesome pickups. I noticed your hat… are you are local to CDA? What church do you attend?

[@influentialworship]

They really are great guitars! So glad you found the channel. I am local here! I’m part of Real Life Ministries. How about you?

[@Jeffrey.T]

⁠@@influentialworshipI responded this morning but see it didn’t post. That’s so awesome! What a small world. I am part of the Real Life Ministries Silver Valley in Pinehurst, ID. It so cool to connect with you.

[@influentialworship]

@@Jeffrey.T that’s awesome, small world! I’m sure we will be crossing paths in person at some point. Have you ever been over this way for a discipleshift?

[@Jeffrey.T]

@@influentialworship I haven’t. I need to do that. It sounds really good! One of these weekends, I need to head over and attend a service at one of the other campuses. I have only joined the post falls campus to take notes on the youth program and did some shadowing to see how we might make some positive shifts to our youth program. Otherwise, I’ve been pretty secluded.

[@influentialworship]

@@Jeffrey.T well feel free to reach out. Happy to help in anyway I can.

[@yellowdrops5690]

Great review. Thanks.

[@influentialworship]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johndavid9973]

Great sounding guitar.! you got me thinking now....

[@influentialworship]

Love it, what do you currently play?

[@johndavid9973]

@influentialworship I sold my j45 a couple of months ago .....nice sound but I'd prefer a thinner body...so this could be the ticket..

[@influentialworship]

@@johndavid9973 awesome! Keep me posted!

[@jimsteele2072]

That sound is the magic Martin guitars produce. Other similar guitars sound good, But they don't sound like this one.

[@influentialworship]

It’s definitely a great guitar!!

[@stevebrooks9119]

Best guitar for Worship because if my 00015m is anything to go by then the Lord must have been involved in its design and development...mine sounds Heavenly...

[@influentialworship]

Awesome!
