Martin 000-15M v 000-15ME

mags · January 2017

I have a dilemma. I have the chance to buy one of two used Martin 000-15M guitars - both are immaculate. One is the standard model and the other has the limited edition factory fitted Fishman Thinline Gold pre amp and pick up installed (000-15ME). The ME model is selling for £50 more. I rarely require a pick up model and wasn't looking for one but now that its there and not much more expensive, it's made me question whether I should go for that? To be honest, I'm thinking probably many years down the line, should I ever re sell, which would be more desirable then? Overthinking things as always but would appreciate any thoughts and comments. Thanks.

If the difference is £50 then I'd probably go with the one with the pickup. I'd never use it because piezos are the work of the devil, but I'd know that in the future if I wanted to put something like a K&K in there the endpin would already be drilled out and I could flog the Fishman to cover the cost of the new saddle that would be needed.

I like your thinking Lewy. Thanks.
