the absolute BEST value Martin, hands down - so beautiful sounding and consistent. I love playing these models in guitar stores because of how reliable the tone is. I think the 000-15 slight takes the cake by having more brightness to offset the mellow mahogany with it's smaller body, but the Dread is amazing too. To me, the best all-solid wood guitar for the price.

The 000-15m is my main guitar. I paid 1000 dollars for it used, feel really lucky to have a guitar with this tone with my limited budget.

Love the seamless comparison. Exactly what I needed to aid in my struggle. Thank you.

I have a 00015sm and no doubt it is one of my absolute favorites. So easy, smooth and great for a finger picker. I had a 2000 D15, had it forever, and absolutely LOVED the feel and sound. Unfortunately a shoulder injury I won’t recover from forced me to sell my dreadnaughts. Sure do miss it. Two of the best guitars, especially for the money, you can buy. Thank you for this video. Cheers.

I can dig it, you should compare the Guild D-20 and M-20

I recently acquired a D15M and I firmly believe that Martin is doing something different on those guitars versus what they did in the past. The one we have is so much better sounding and playing than older ones. I'm a huge fan.

Been playing my 000-15m for years and it does all that I ask. Great comfy size and super clean clear playing git. Love that woody sound.

Love my 000-15m Strretmaster. and would love to own a D-15m someday! Great video guys that one seemed to have a good flow to it!

Keeping with the muscle car theme, there is no replacement for displacement. I have the 000-15M and love it, but now it needs a companion. Thanks guys!

"There's always a reason you need ten guitars" - now THAT is a quotable quote. I own 24 guitars. I understand what he means.

I have a Taylor 324ce mahogany guitar and I really love the sound of that wood on any brand be it Taylor or Martin. The mahogany just has that deep rich sound. Sweet!

Awesome….Any new content related to the D-15M(in comparison to other guitars or the functionality/prowess of the D-15m itself) are much appreciated. The older D15M vid’s/tutorials are great but they’re typically placed in a subcategory of the 00 and 000 m’s.

I play mostly drop d and the 000 15streetm, the one I purchased, had the mojo. The low end can be described as the Diezel of acoustic guitars. Has a grinding, rich, textured low end. My favorite guitar right now.

I play both acoustic guitar and bass guitar. As a bass player, I absolutely LOVE the characteristic depth and low end of the Dreadnought, but as a mid-sized guy with not-huge hands and body (and quite a melancholic musical taste) I fell in love with the 000-15M. It's for sure my dream guitar! Nice job, folks!

Great demo gentlemen.

Another great video! D-15 is awesome. If you have some 12 strings laying around, I’d like to see a comparison. Thanks!

I have a D-35, but my go to is still probably the D15. What a great sound!

Back when I bought my first guitar I was split between getting a Martin DXM and a D15. They were nearly the same money at the time though I bought the plywood guitar because I thought a brown top looked strange and just didn't match my idea of what a guitar was supposed to look like. While that the DXM was a road warrior and will almost certainly outlast me (it has been locked up in it's case for years but even then it is very nearly indestructible) I have long thought about how great a D15 would sound with about 20 years playing time opening it up. My opinion is that Martin is in another golden era and beginners today should be so lucky as to get one of these to learn on. Cool vid, cool guitar.

I have an older(1999 model)000-15m. I did some work to the back. Covered it with a new mahogany one. Because the original cracked in 2 places. It looks good and sounds nice. Also just replaced the saddle with a “tusk” one. As well as the bridge pins. It’s totally relict but sounds pretty good

I purchased the D15m 8-8-22 . I fell in love with mind .

Great video!

I always end up favoring a D-15 or a 000-18 when I go to Guitar Center, I think Martin is making better guitars nowadays. Don’t believe me? Go try a 2021-22 D-28. They’ve definitely upped their quality of late.

I have a 00015M Streetmaster. I absolutely love it. It just chimes!!

Amazing play and review. I like 000 size but in this case of mahogany on top, D shape may be better to me. I am satisfied with my OM28.

My Dad has a ooo 15 streetmaster. It's fantastic! Really suits his fingerstyle and subtle touch. I'm a heavy handed, ham fisted halfwit... So I stick to cheap Chinese guitars.

I own a 000 10M (among a bunch of “high end” acoustics) and love it. Neck is 1 3/4, sapele, super confortable, amazing sound. It’s my main couch guitar.

I have a D15... its FANTASTIC.. paly it all the time... to the point that the matte finish is looking polished.

My brother won a 15M in 1962 and I learned on it. I think he told it in a yard sale years later. Wish I had it.

Thanks guys. I love my 000-15. So nice to hear the contrast.

I have four Martins, and my D15M is my go-to GIG guitar. I do folk and Americana and it also has the K&K Pure Mini pickups installed as well.

May I have both? Great review and demo

that D15 sounds heavenly

Nice demo. I owned a D-15M for a couple years. I realized: I Must Have a spruce top for the brightness. The mahogany top sounded too muddy to me. So now I shy away from guitars of all the same wood...Just me.

Of these 2 guitars I prefer the D 15, but my main acoustic is a Gibson Doves in Flight.

Thanks for all your support for All Mahogany guitars. I play the J-15 and J-15-12

Merci beaucoup pour ce comparatif.

I would love to see a 0000-18 12 fret vs D-18 comparison!!!

I have a Martin D-15M. Its one of the best sounding guitars Id ever heard, but if you are looking for a Bluegrass Dread for jamming, look elsewhere. Ive taken it to a few jams and it doesnt have the best cut. If you want to flatpick instrumental tunes by yourself (maybe some vocals), its the guitar id go with.

I have both and both are so delocious!!!

The D15m sounds a little like my Mahogany DCPA4. I would love to get the 000-15m as a supplement! Great review, Thanks! 😅

Man guess I got a steal on my D15m back in early 2000's I paid 699.99 for mine. Still play it today and its such rich sounding and love picking on it.

For years I avoided all mahogany guitars because my only experience with one was dreadnought. Eventually I played a smaller-bodied model and was hooked. The smaller the body, the sweeter the sound, in my opinion.

6:35 thru the end was the best for comparisons. I've always loved the martin mahogany's and would have a tough time deciding. The 000 has a more personal sound- an indoor sound.

Simply can't beat a Martin 00015m- best sounding and value guitar on the market.

A Martin Dreadnought, Mahogany Top with an impressive bass response? I didn't think it likely. If I were choosing between these two specific guitars, it would be the D-15M without any hesitation.

For me, It sounds like I can sing better with the 000. But your earlier comparison sold me on the AD22E mahogany. Short scale, easy to play neck, warmer sound than the Martin 000-15m. Really liking these comparisons BUT I like visiting MV better because I can play each guitar, feel how it plays and hear how you sounds with my voice. Paul and friends do a great job. Thanks for this comparison Quinton and Paul.

I have a left handed 00015 it sounds amazing . I record with it . But it hurts my fretting hand thumb muscles if I play for hours I use a little Taylor gs mini or a smaller Martin if I’m going to be strumming chords and singing for a while

Thank you 😊

The triple ought is probably great for recording, right?

First Martin I bought was 000-15M. Perfect guitar at a great price. But I wish it had 1-3/4" nut for my larger fingers. They have a killer sound though!

000 for me, so much sweeter, but it's also so subjective.

D15m versus Taylor AD27 please Paul. 🙏

I’m a Taylor guy but good God almighty these look and sound amazing I’ve played a D15m and loved the sound and feel this is definitely an incredible value

Just ordered a D15m...it just seems to tell a story!

Love the sweet mid tone of the 000-15M ….

Do you guys take Trades? I have a 2012 HD-28VS in excellent condition. Willing to sell or trade.

Love my 00015sm

Both beautiful guitars and both got individual sound .say the Taylor got more of a Celtic sound and more versatile.Martin got that Martin tone so warm and rich .love the Martin with the playability of the Taylor .

D looks like genuine mahogany and 000 is Sipo? Or just variation in their "mahogany" stock?

I have an Alvarez AD66SHB Mahogany top guitar and that Mahogany top

Much prefer the 00015, the melody on top strings comes through much better. Both nice, but the dreadnaught is boomy. My opinion of course!

Comparison between AD17e & Martin D-15 ...Which one is better ?

Scored a D-15 the other week for $200 with some side cracks. I'm a luthier , so , yeah. She's good to go now.

I have a Martin 000-16 and a HD-28. Clearly the latter has more low end and power, but the 000 still retains the Martin warmth. Another point is that the 000 is more comfortable to hold and play, so easier for an electric player; the shallower body is noticeable. Maybe that's why EC likes the 000-28. In the close out section I thought the 000 was ringing out more sweetly and distinctly.

Y’all should review the 12 fret 00015SM and compare it to the 14 fret 00015M

The 000 sounds amazing!!

What's that beautiful black thing hanging on the wall in the background? Pickguard makes it look like it might be a Gibson.

000 it's an auditorium size am I right?

Both these guitars sound INCREDIBLE. I just thought another name for mahogany tone.... "Biscuity". In this case digestive, regular and chocolate digestive biscuity. Respectively.

Thanks a lot for your videos guys! I like that they're educational too. Please keep them coming. 🙂 And yeah! Of course you need to own at least ten guitars at home. Otherwise you cannot grasp the meaning of life at all. lol

I have the d15 m and I love it but I think both guitars sound good

Would the gs mini be the same size as the 000-15m?

One cannot beat the USA Martin 15 and Guild 20 series. I have the guild M-20 and I want a D-15 as well.

I have the 000-15M ... sweet 🎶🎶🎶

I think those 000-15's are the best bang for your buck.

I've had D 15M for just over 20 years now still play it everyday. I think it has just about forgotten that it was once a tree...

I like D-15M.

Hey P and Q, it’s time for the “Live from the Front Porch” show followed by “Live from the Campfire”

Great vid guys. Both awesome guitars. Also, we learned Quentin likes to torture dogs😄

Would love to hear “Alice’s Restaurant” played on these guitars.

Please compare d15m and d18

The RS-000 is also excellent

I recently bought a 000-15M because I'm just not comfortable with playing a dreadnought. Having said that, I would love to see a comparison between the D-15M and a Guild D-20. I have payed a couple and they are one of the best-sounding Dreadnoughts I have ever heard!

What's the tune you're playing

Liked the OOO a little better. Notes seemed more clear and defined.

D just has too much echo and low end to my liking :)

only ten..?

SiqueSii🧙‍♂️

A Uke

IMO, 0-000 body sizes should be mated with short-scale necks. The extra PUNCH of a standard scale neck on a small body doesn't work for me - especially in an all mahogany body. My 0-15M Limited Edition is my lest-played Martin because of this. The longer scale seems to add unneeded punch to the mids that can predominate in this body size.

D-15 MORE BASS

Dudes the 15m is way fuller sound compared to the 00015

Quinton could make a cardboard box sound good.
