Excellent review. I’ve had my eyes on the 000-15SM for awhile now. Since I’m not a big guy and in my 60’s I’m thinking it will be a welcome addition. The wife is learning to play too so hopefully it will be better for her too.

They both have their place. My hungry ear likes the SM mo betta. It's my comfy cozy couch guitar.

Super review and comparison...the SM seems more open with a lower bass end and the om shaped guitar has stronger treble presence. Both sound great !!

As "Plain Jane" guitars, they both sound great. I found the SM fuller in the bass, but a bit thinner in the trebles. Going to a medium gauge string solved the problem. I play it mostly in open tunings and think the 15SM is killer for folk picking. Strumming is one of its strongest points as accompaniment for solo performances. It has an amazing sustain. I love mine.

Probably the best review I have ever seen here. He really showed the difference, plus a great finger style player. Thank you

I personally after playing both at GC, found the 15M to be louder and more defined across the spectrum than the SM....but as you said the SM would be the choice for a fingerstylist, but I chose the versatility of the 15M over the SM for it's all around live and recording abilities, the palette just seemed much wider and more articulate when I played harder and more percussive. I will say different examples can sound very different, so play several if you can.

Just FYI common misconception but the bridge placement is the same on both models, all Martin did was add body to the twelfth fret. Call them up its true. Thanks

Truly these are both excellent examples of Martin’s, like them both. My idea after hearing these sound pairings is so torturous I like the SM then I like the M. My wife says come on, if you could only take on to a deserted island? I said why would I go there and did you just like drop me off? I would like both of them please!

The “M” model has more Clairity than the SM, but both have there strong points, I would close my eyes and pick one, and be happy with either choice... Thanks for a great Review! Jeff Mercer

So could it be possible to make a guitar (or is there a guitar) with that 12th fret characteristic of a nicely central bridge but that is joined at the 14th fret for extra access? Basically the 000-15SM with less shoulder protrusion?
@clintwhite30214 жыл бұрын
Hmm actually now comparing both it seems that the bridge is placed in the same place anyhow...

Im looking at the 000-15m VS the 00-15m....is the neck a little thinner/ narrower on the 000-15m (14 fret) vs the SM...I have small hands..
@maplestreetguitars4 жыл бұрын
The neck's fairly similar in terms of thickness but the 000-15SM has a wider neck (1 3/4" nut width) compared to the 000-15M or 00-15M (1 11/16" nut width).

I'm a little late but check out parlor guitars for smaller hands. Martin makes a parlor size Dreadnought Junior. It sounds beautiful and extremely comfortable! It's a bit more affordable too

Not to be confused with the 000-15sm (street master). Do any come with a hard case? Only down side of the street master. Strange omission for an instrument at that price
@maplestreetguitars3 жыл бұрын
At this point in time, the Street Master models come with a very nice gig bag and the standard 15-series models come with hard cases. We've been extremely impressed with the gig bags that these models come with and in many cases prefer them to the hard case!

The gig bags are really nice. Getting either one doesn’t mean you get them with it for FREE. They’re both purchasable

"Don't Think Twice" buy the SM if you can find one for finger picking. Martin seems to have pulled the SM after 2019. Here in 2021 used M's can be had for $900 and up and loads are available. On Reverb there is only only one SM North of $2000. If you didn't get it he finger picked Don't Think Twice by Bob Dylan and the tone my 73 old ears hear subjectively match my 60's folk music memories more to the SM.

The 000-15SM is still in production but it seems like they make less of them than the standard 14-fret 000-15M. They seem to come few and far between these days.

I'm sure the absence of detailing and layering has something to do with it. And mahogany is less expensive wood, or used to be.
