Does anyone have played the Martin 00-15e retro? What are your thoughts on that guitar? I sold my blueridge dreadnought because it was to big for me and now I am looking for a new acoustic. The stores nearby dont have that model but when I look at reviews on the internet and the specs of that guitar I think it has everything I wish... I want a good acoustic with electronics for fingerstyle. For The learn and master guitar course I use my electric guitar but I am in stage 7 so the fingerstylestage is nearby ? greetings

I have a martin D15 and it’s a nice guitar and is all mohogany. I would not pay the extra for the retro fishman pick up.  The 00-15 is a small guitar and will sound small. It won’t  project and if you plan on playing with others it will get buried. 

if you want a small Martin  I would look at a ceo7 or 000-18 and also put your money into the wood and not electronics. You can always add a k & k pickup up or Lr Baggs.

I went with an 000-18 but also look at the 17 series. 

The new martins with the Lr Baggs pickup sound killer though and I’d much pref that over the fishman aura.

Hey thanks for the reply. I really like the looks of the 17 serie ‘ black smoke’... but again, it Will be difficult to chose between 000-17, 00-17L and 00-17s. I think the tripple 0 Will be the best for me. From what I heard and read the 17 is a little Brighter than te 15 series but more articulated...but it is still a bluesy sound. I hope I find a store where I can test the 2series. Maybe you are right and its better to put my own rl baggs afterwards and pay a little more for the woods...

It will probably be hard to find them all together. The s is 12 fret and the L sized like a ceo7. A guitarist named angela petrilli has many vids  of the black 000-17. I think its a big step up soundwise and wood quality with an 000-18.
