I have the Martin 000-10E and it is a gorgeous guitar. Really beautifully built and with a lovely warm, bluesy sound. I can highly recommend it for a first purchase that will grow with you for years to come!

10e sounds brighter and tighter all around. Theres a nice deep end and warmth to the 15 that I prefer. But Id definitely use the 10e in a band/worship team since it would cut through quite nice. Both great instruments

[@mikenorman6697]

I like the 000-10E. Acoustically the 000-15M is far superior! The guys in the video say the differences are subtle. I don't think so! Obviously the 000-10E also has a pickup and a tuner. So from a value for money perspective - it is pretty good. But from an acoustic tone perspective the 000-15M wins hands down as far as I'm concerned!!!!!

They both sound good. The sapele is crisper, the hog is deeper.

[@aaron.s.robinson]

Technically both American made. 😝

Oh wow. That OOO-15M is something else. It’s making me want to return the OOO-10E I just ordered :(. Not that the 10E doesn’t sound great, it’s really good, but now that I’ve heard the sound of the 15M I’m always going to be chasing that tone. Sounds absolutely perfect to me. Maybe return my 10E and just keep saving up for the 15.

I own the 10e and i lament not waiting for the 15m. The 15 is leaps and bounds above the 10 in terms of sound, tone, projection, and ease of playing.

I own the 00010E and watched this video for some clarity to help decide if I needed the 00015. Honestly, I now believe I don’t t need the 00015, the tonality is very close. Thanks for the video and potentially saving me a lot of money.

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

I was hoping the 10E would sound almost as good in order to save myself a few hundred bucks. Alas, the 15-M has a far superior tone and considerably more volume. Perhaps, I can fast for a month.

I’ve got the 000RS1. Wanted the 000-15M but, was not in my budget at the time. I knew they would be close in tone, which is why I ordered one sight unseen. Your video confirms my thoughts. The 000RS1 can’t be beat for the price.

[@IIVVBlues]

I love my 000 15SM, but I was considering the 10E as a back up guitar for some outdoor gigs in harsher envronments. I appreciate the review.

[@epp8382]

Great review, I’m surprised you can’t find more comparison videos between these two guitars

[@peterdeboer8924]

The 10e has a pickup and a 1.75 inch neck. Those features are important to me. Both are great for accompanying singing.

[@gggrindingguitaristgg3474]

I tried out both 000-10E and 000-15M at my local guitar store. The 15M has much more bass response than the 10E, and much more 'woody' kind of feel. But I kinda prefer the 10E tone more, slightly brighter sound, both great guitars. Nice review btw!

[@neilanderson2374]

Very very similar. The 00015M looks gorgeous and has a tiny advantage on the sound. I think that the Sapele as a denser wood will catchup as its played in.

[@adamdurham16]

Great playing. Helped me purchase. I did end up just going with the 10e sapele.

[@neilanderson2374]

I've been playing the RS1 for 6 months now and I've just recently acquired the D version of the 15. The Sapele has a bright shimmer to it that the mahogany doesn't, which if you concentrate you can just about make out from this video. Also the RS1/10e has a 1 3/4'' nut which make it slightly easier for fingerpicking.

[@VaughnFelixMusic]

I have the 15m and it’s so smooth, rich and easy to play, super fun, simple yet rich!

[@davidlovesgolf]

Super helpful, thank you!

Aside from the guitars the interior decoration going on here is next level.
