Awesome taste in an acoustic for sure. Love the smell of a new acoustic when the case is cracked open. Have fun

[@JP-vb4ky]

I got my 000-15M yesterday, but I paid a bit more and got the Streetmaster. Im in love with that guitar!

[@davek00]

Ok, mind blown... worlds colliding. I've been watching your stuff for awhile now for the pipe stuff, as it's a new hobby of mine. I had no idea you were into guitars as well. I have the same guitar, one size up (D-15), and I'm sure you're going to love the guitar. One tip, though less of a concern for you in Washington, is to stay on top of the humidity control with these guitars, especially in the winter. They have very thin tops, and are prone to serious "bellying" (among other issues) if you neglect them. Amazing sounding guitars, but you do need to treat them with care. Enjoy!

[@odysseusjak]

Congratulations, Bradley! I'm genuinely happy for you. Have a great weekend.

[@chrisgamble3499]

I agree, the satin finish mahogany is beautiful. I am sure you'll love this guitar. 👍

[@chadcurtis8731]

Hell yeah Bradley! That is a great guitar, and the shape is excellent for playing on the couch relaxing. They have a great warm tone. I have a Martin 00-18 Tim O’Brien signature Martin, (they only made 100). It is a similar shape, and I love it.

[@wainair]

Congrats! That guitar has an amazing tone! So warm!

[@Canekthetree]

Awesome guitar! Mahogany makes a very full, rich, sustainable tone. I can feel this vibe even from the video, good choice, definetely)) My congrats!

[@Mr.Pink1776]

I just bought a 000-15SM and it’s awesome!

[@jackp9570]

Nothing like the smell of opening up the case of a brand new guitar. Almost better than a tin of Elizabethan

[@cmonsterz]

I just watched the video and was going to say just that! Good to know that I'm not the only one that thinks this way. I don't have a Martin, I ended up going with a Taylor...though I've had it for over a decade, the smell is magical!!!

[@gfmgma]

Hi, Bradley! I own a 000-15M since 2012, I still find myself starring at it sometimes, amazed with it's beauty. You made a great purchase. I found a little odd it came with a Fishman too but, well, if you don't like it you can always sell it. I tried one of those K&K pure mini you mentioned but wasn't happy with it. There's too much mid range. Than, I tried the LR Baggs lyric but didn't work either, too much feedback noise. Finally, i switched to the LR Baggs Anthem and couldn't be happier. It's pricey, I know, but this guitar deserves it.

[@DeadGlassEyes]

Been a guitar player for over 20 years myself, and I love Martin's. They also make the best acoustic guitar strings in my opinion.

[@ryannoel8978]

And martin pics are nice

[@aussiecoastie72]

Beautiful guitar ! Congratulations 🥳 I adore Martin guitars . The Fishman acoustic pickup systems are very unobtrusive , and be removed easily if unwanted . And dude , don’t be bummed about that broken string ... I see it as kind of good luck charm ☘️

[@cyberstace58]

I have one for 2 weeks now and have been waiting since Feb for it. I love it. No electronics surprise on mine but i didn't want it anyway.Soon gonna be 63 and am so happy to have this dream guitar. Newfoundland Canada here . With case is what with C/S means. Stay safe and be well sir

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Good choice!

[@brianquilty687]

Happy for you Bradley, beautiful looking instrument.

[@Utahforrest]

I appreciate your upbeat, positive attitude.

[@vivek_dahal]

Love your enthusiasm for the guitar!

[@neilmartin99]

I bought mine two years ago and absolutely love it. And it smells like cinnamon. 😃

[@jwalczak74]

Awesome guitar my friend! Great choice! I just purchased my 3rd Martin two weeks ago (GPC Special 10E) road series. More or less, one of Martin's cheaper lines. You will love that 000! I have a custom shop 000 18 (sinker mahogany with Adirondack spruce top). Just a beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Martin's are the best! Funny thing with my new Martin, the exact same thing happened to me. High E broke while tuning it for the first time. The ball came off the end of the string. Super annoying...lol I restrung it with elixirs. They make really great strings. Enjoy your new baby and keep on rocking 🎸 🤘

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

A 000-18 would be amazing! Someday.

[@mantistoboggan4967]

I have that same pickup in my new gibson acoustic. I really like the tone that i get from it 👍

[@mfluder15]

That’s a beautiful guitar. I have a D 17M. Gotta love Martin guitars.

[@lucistired]

Congrats Bradley! You deserve it

[@user-et8se3od1p]

That Fisman mic is a surprise! I've never heard 000-15 comes with it. I would be more than happy to have it on mine.

[@reddevil211287]

Congrats!! Such a gorgeous guitar

[@robisafk]

Gorgeous guitar. I like the riffs you were playing.

[@stevekatzchen6845]

Congrats on that great guitar, Bradley! When a high e-string breaks this way a burr at the tuning post may be the culprit...so just try to deflash it and give the string an extra winding. Too bad you hadn´t ordered an extra pack of strings.

[@austinsteele5028]

I've had the exact same guitar for 5 years now. It has an amazingly warm sound and has held up great! Mine doesn't have a pickup though.

[@joebloggs8636]

I just got mine literally 4 days ago and i am happy it has NO pickup ...

[@MarshallBanananana]

Congratulations! Orchestra is my favorite shape.

[@keithhodiak8577]

Nice one! Big rich sound, all the best with it.

[@pokerpotpipe2117]

Now, it is time to play music and enjoying your lovely pipe, nice piece of art, Sir !

[@jeffreybarton1297]

When that string broke I emitted a wail of despair! Sounds brilliant even without the E string.

[@robertrees5799]

Hi Bradley, for the hi B and E strings, there is very little or no difference in electric and acoustic with the exception of gauge. I believe that guitar ships with 12’s

[@chandlerpoling]

I’m saving for the 000-15SM. Beautiful instruments! (And made in USA, despite the shipping box)

[@treeofnoreturn3238]

Gorgeous tone, beautiful guitar.

[@joke6771]

Beautiful guitar indeed congratulations brother

[@VaughnFelixMusic]

One of my favorite guitars to pick up and jam for hours

[@puffinpiper7625]

"With case..." Sounds great! Looks beautiful! Having recently moved I had my instruments stored for a year. As soon as I got to cleaning them up and tuning them that was the first thing to happen...broken string! HAHA!

[@IndigoJo]

I used to have a 'Nashville' jumbo guitar (a Japanese 'lawsuit' era copy of a Guild F40 or 55, not sure which) and that had the exact problem you had with strings breaking when I tried tuning it. I was mystified that strings would break when I tuned them down as well as up. It turned out it had a burr on the tuning post and I had to take it into the guitar shop to have it shaved down. Surprised a new Martin would come with that defect though.

[@HeathenHammer123]

sounds incredible!

[@crestore1]

Beautiful guitar! Love the smell of mahogany..

[@saltwatersaddletramp7229]

I love my 000-15M. You’ve made a great choice. Enjoy

[@mrcards169]

Nice review thanks . What tuner do you have there . ? Ps you need to do my tail slides on that board lol . Thanks great playing

[@akranov]

@ 12:35 is that Neil Young's Down By the River by any chance? Man always knew how to get the most out of basic chord progressions. Guitar sounds great btw!

[@softsouthernknight]

Good choice. Necks and joint are made in the custom shop.

[@PaulIsbell]

I just ordered the Martin 000-15M and I’m super excited for the guitar to come in!! To be honest, I’m hoping the one I ordered doesn’t come with the Fishman pickup, as to which I am looking to input an LR Baggs Anthem.

[@cloguitar]

Hello... i buy thé 00015M with the lr baggs M1... if you want to see : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4ucpnibjNV5fLs

[@RedDevil-hx1wo]

Felt like I heard some Radio Head in there! Enjoy man.

[@christopherhavanas3111]

So funny because it seems almost impossible to find a guitar in that price range WITHOUT electronics. I was looking at this guitar because I thought it didn't have electronics. Crazy!

[@oldhollywoodbriar]

Great sound for a martin!

[@yalayolo9974]

I bought the 000-15SM. the sister guitar of this one. love it

[@pipesmokinpaul5123]

I have done that so many times. Always the bloody high E

[@Darrin67]

This dude is living the life. Got my dream guitar, got a sweet skateboard in the back, dont see any chick shoes on the shoe rack so no one is going to be yelling at him "Turn it down!! You're too loud!!!" Nice.

[@soulvaccination8679]

He said that he has a future wife in the beginning..Maybe she does not annoy like most females do.

[@davidyanez4u]

LMFAO!

[@joaogabrielfreitasferreira2529]

Hi, can you tell me what are the original strings that came with this guitar? Also, can you tell me what elixir string would look like this martin's? For example: 0.11 0.12 or 0.13? Tks.

[@gwhorn007]

Nice. Still have my D28 and love it

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Very nice!

[@DeeTee79]

How long before you figured out that “with cs” meant with case? Gorgeous guitar regardless.

[@two-foldfilms683]

I’m planning to get one of these bad boys - after months of soul searching - TOMORROW!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

You’re going to love it!

[@mokgable]

Martin's are made near my house. Great guitars

[@ImightyAbhi]

I can understand your passion for guitar mate peace ☮️❤️✌🏻

[@markcollins2876]

Yes, Martin is the best acoustic guitar.

[@ThePonDePon]

Mine was also tuned a half step down when I first played it

[@stereonerd42]

If you're ever in Pennsylvania, you should definitely check out the factory in Nazareth. I've been several times and its always been a fun experience.

[@ryanmcfadin09]

Dude I love it. I'm very jealous haha

[@puffinpiper7625]

Also, I think they ship instruments out with ultra light gauge strings. Get some medium weights.

[@BlackAdder665]

I had a Martin once. In my hands. Played it, couldn't afford it. Was like having the most amazing ONS with [insert your dream celeb*] and never see her again. *in my case: Julia Roberts, Cate Blanchett or my pharmacist Lisa.

[@travelinman617]

Yes I know-how you feel I have seven guitars all made left handed high end copies from rondo music in New hampshire I know that's what I was doing waiting for the ups truck to arrive it's such a great feeling when he pulls up in front of your place yes this the day my guitar is here

[@latouselatrec]

One thing I was disappointed int was the case. Where the neck rests in the saddle it is very sharp. It actually left marks on the neck when it was transported.

[@paulabefumo4577]

I'm literally waiting for my 000-15SM to be delivered!

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

Mine also came with a surprise pickup.. K&k mini is in mine. I was also like "wait what?" Lol I'll end up putting in an LR Baggs anthem in it

[@markmartin3221]

I have this tuner, they are cool. Use a luthier’s knot, so you never bust a string again.. Nice guitar!

[@blownonpurp]

Sounds good. I like supporting Martin not only for their excellent craftsmanship and the fact their us made but they're an environmentally conscious company as well.

[@viviencharrier1984]

Nice guitar bradley

[@cmonsterz]

Congratz, Bradley! You should get an acoustic guitar amp. You'll discover that it opens up a world of tonal possibilities that just enhance the experience even more!

[@seabhac1000]

The smell of my Martin is still there 23 years on! Don't forget to take a whiff in that soundhole- it's an incredible smell and will continue to remind you of this special day. Send away for the warranty. Mine came with original owner's card and a letter from C.F. Martin IV. This guitar will be a great blueser! Smoke your pipe while you play it ala Donald Duck Dunn(😄)Best of luck my friend!

[@ApexiRyan]

Beautiful guitar bud! Wait until you hear it plugged in, Fishman makes some of the best pickups on the market. You can take it out but one of the great things about this particular pickup is that it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the guitar, meaning they didn’t have to cut on the instrument to install it so it won’t affect your tone at all. Enjoy!

[@WILDWILL53]

I wish I could play that well. You sir under play your guitar ability I believe

[@vivattt]

I still wonder why this one has a fishman pickup, is it a special order or a custom one?

[@jelhinks3381]

I bought same guitar in April 20. During lockdown so bought online

[@bensearle89]

Beautiful guitar. Sounds so nice. What acoustic body type is this? Looks smaller than mine ( Seagull S6 which I love) parlour size or something?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It's a 000 size. I think it's an "auditorium" or "orchestra" size.

[@bensearle89]

@@stuffandthingsyoutube thanks for letting me know :) Looks like a better choice for me than a d-15

[@blownonpurp]

Pearls before swine but I don't mind. Keep it hard brother!

[@robertrees5799]

Hi Bradley, I’m not really a jerk. It’s just that I was an owner in a guitar shop/manufacturer in Kent, Ohio for five years after I retired.

[@MsDenver2]

Hi I play a Martin 0m28 reimagined and for many years i tuned my guitar 440 and after much research I now tune my guitar to 432 and after playing it for a week or so I noticed something, I felt very relaxed as I played it. So Italy then hitler made a law that 440 was to be the standard tuning for German musicians and later America and uk and Europe adopted the same standard. When I did my research I found that 440 tuning causes disruption to the brain . So if you vibrate 440 in a bowel of water or sand there is just turbulence, no unity but if you vibrate the water or sand at 432 you get a uniform pattern . I have since learned much more about 432 ie the earth vibration is 432 and much more but can’t go on.

[@joebloggs8636]

Im not understanding the whole pickup thing..just bought mine Nov 2021..waiting for it..tbh. Im hoping its a straight Acoustic...no pickup!

[@Grevlain]

Looks to be a $180 pick up...and factory installed. So congrats on the little cherry on top.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

High e string , you can just throw a electric high e, I do all the time

[@wesleydamasceno3923]

I'm also dreaming of buying the 000 15M :) You guys can clear my doubt. Is this case ply hardshell?

[@jogmas12]

Good choice Bradley, don’t know how you do it.

[@peterpwn4311]

what ya all think about this vs the streemaster version?

[@mcmotohistory8770]

Thats a 00015Me .. lucky man I dont think they make them anymore... i would love to buy one

[@mizzoubuckeye42]

I ordered strings from amazon last weekend and they haven’t shipped and estimated won’t be here until May 20...

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Yep. Same here. Luckily I was able to get a set from a friend.

[@sc2057l]

Haha that's nuts! You paid for the standard 000-15m and they shipped you the 000-15me!

[@ashesofthephoenix4605]

Awesome Bradley! Now play us "Sweet Child O' Mine".

[@Jdb63]

Why does the box say made in Mexico?

[@robertrees5799]

That pouch is for the battery

[@sam6496]

Cool. Enjoy sir.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks, will do!

[@ThePonDePon]

I installed an lr baggs lyric in mine

[@yettetu6059]

the box says"Made In Mexico".and how is it you claimed "Made in USA'?

[@rinzan28]

11:08 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@garethwilliams3919]

with cs = with case?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Oh! Good call!

[@TheGuerreros3]

Does it normally come with a pick up or did you just luck out? I’ve been doing my research on this acoustic as it’s also my dream guitar and I’m also in a position to finally buy one and from what I found, they normally don’t come with a pick up...

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It wasn't supposed to come with one! I'm not really sure what happened.

[@TheGuerreros3]

STUFFandTHINGS Can confirm. I ended up buying it after all and it didn’t come with a pick up.

[@viviencharrier1984]

Blackbird ;)

[@jackp9570]

Think you jumping an octave up on the e

[@TheKingdomChef]

What head stock tuner is that?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It's a TC Polytune!
