Musicradar Acoustic Guitar of the Year 2010
Musicradar voted the Martin 00015M their acoustic guitar of the year 2010. Here's what they said:
Along with the Guitarist, Total Guitar and Guitar Techniques teams, we're lucky enough to get our hands on a breathtaking array of instruments over the course of a year, and sometimes its easy to become a little blasé as a result.
But occasionally there are guitars that nobody wants to put down. The 000-15M was one such instrument. Simple, understated, breathtakingly playable; a guitar for life. If there was a separate prize for the instrument that most people in the office lusted after in 2010, this beautiful little acoustic would win hands down.
