I compared this Martin 000-15 to several other Martins, Taylors and Gibsons at my local guitar store that were priced $2000+ and actually liked the sound better on this more affordable guitar. I have a couple of friends that came to the same conclusion who also bought this guitar. I love the look of the Mahogany, which gives out a nice low end (more so than my other guitars made of conventional woods) and also smells awesome when you take it out of the nice case that comes with it. This guitar is definitely well worth the money, especially for a solid top! If you are looking for something different than the usual, with superb tone and great fret board action, really consider this guitar.
