@@toddcagle4245 good for you, you will like it.

Thanks Paul, glad you liked it.

@@lamar1423 congrats! Thanks for watching.

@@rogerdsmith That's a great quote, never heard that! Thanks for sharing, cheers!

Thank you! Not sure what a Grand Suzuki costs, these are $2000- U.S. new, used around 1500-.

@@andynovak9838 Hi Andy, the mic is an Audio Technica AT 2021 small diaphragm condenser mic, I like it a lot.

Thanks for watching! I would say the 000 for fingerpicking, but the D fingerpicks well also. Just depends if you want the deeper bass.

@@toddvossmusic7833 Thank you. I sold a D-15M year ago and am thinking about replacing it and possibly with the 000-15sm. My ears just hear a 14-fret connection punchier and more articulate on the Martin hogs but everybody seems to like the 000-15sm.

@@2628064379 I prefer the versatility and lush depth of the D-15m. To each his own, trust your ears.

@@toddvossmusic7833 We hear the same thing LOL!

@@andynovak9838 Thanks Andy, elixir hd light, which are medium tops, light bottoms.

Correction, DAddario EJ-16 light, in desctiption.

That's a personal choice. I sold the guitar, I think the new owner is putting a pickup in it. If you gig, a pickup makes sense, I generally prefer no pickup, but do put in some of my guitars. The right one would sound great in this.
