I love the sound of that Martin. I did a top ten BTMV list for a recently project. This made the cut out of scores I listened to. I like your straight ahead arraignment and good playing.
nah just the regular 000-15. on paper, the smaller body size of the 000-15 would make more sense for me, as i personally find it much more comfortable, along with the fact that the majority of my playing is fingerstyle. however, after I played it i was left feeling slightly disappointed--the sound wasn't what i expected, especially after i compared it to a dreadnought (a D-16GT) -- and there's my dilemma.
they are two different animals. Do you mean a 00015 S (12th fret neck joint)
The J 50 being a dreadnaught will be somewhat louder with more punch on the bass end I suspect. By joining the neck at the 12th fret instead of the 14th you change the sound as well as the string tension on the 00015S. They will play different as well, theJ50 feeling like it is strung "tighter". the 00015 is
It is true that changes the sound in relation to a 14th fret, due to the biggest box of 12th fret. But I do not have to vary the tension of the strings would have the same scale.
You should hear this with a 5.1 surround system - unbelievable sound and your playing arrangement and performance is absolutedly enchanting.
IMHO, that's Gold Record Material.
I have a 2004 D-15 Dreadnought (mahogany) and love it, but I also have a 65 Gibson LGO. A 000-15S and an N-20 or Spanish Classical would be nice to have in the stable too.
Funny how different guitars can speak to you like a siren, isn't it?
i have a martin factory installed pick up and I ran that into a behringer mixer before putting into the soundcard of a basic dell computer to record it. When I play live, this pickup sounds excellent though I think the guitar itself sounds unusually good.
The 12 fret neck joins the body at the 12th fret thus putting the bridge further into the center of the soundboard where there is more surface area to generate tone. Some think this gives it a richer deeper tone. It's not necessarily easier to play than a 14 fret though the string tension seems lower and thus could be perceived as easier to play. A lot of that has to do with action, set up and string gauge. If you dont need the frets above the 12th, I recommend.
I don't need--Ok thank You very much for your time...You have help me very much with my doubts. I love this guitar and yours the best performance ive seen here. Moves me. Really great.

Just a tad too fast but overall very well played in your chord changes.

more apt to be a finger picking or blues, whereas the j 50 is good for banging out chords/ bluegrass/etc and not as optimal for "fingerstyle"

If you hearing your music through a pair of puter speakers with no subwoofer, well, you sure are missing out.
That goes for anyone really.
My puter sys speakers amounts to a virtual 4.1 but in spite of it, your music makes them earn their keep.
Sure wish I could play like that.
I am confined to 3 fingers - my pinky just doesn't want to do it.
oh btw, please have a look on my page and you'll see my tree and swing song - that recording employs my mahogany Martin D15 Dreadnought.
