Martin 000-10E vs. 000-15M

Comparison video of these 2 Martins, one from the Road Series and another from the 15 Mahogany line.
The 10e has all-solid Sapele top back and sides and 15m has Mahogany (as described in the Martin website). These two tonewoods sound similar to each other but with certain differences.
Mahogany from the 15m has a warmer tone while Sapele has a "sweet" sound especially on its trebles. The bass on the 15 is darker while 10e is somewhat tight. The strings used by the way are Martin Monel Lights.
I hope you can learn something and have fun as well with this video.

The 10 was brighter, the 15 deeper and richer especially on the low end. I think I might like the 10 better. Thanks for the great demo.

Eric, what are your thoughts on the 2? Big difference? Which do you prefer?

@@iryan9 Hi there and thank you for watching!
They are different from each other due to the tonewoods. The 10e has that "sweet" treble tone while the 15m has that mahogany tone that is famous.
The 10e will take some time for it to break it as its a harder wood than the Mahogany of 15m. It's hard to answer which I prefer but if you want one I prefer the 15m due to its dry, organic tone.
I'm not saying the 10e is bad as its an excellent guitar too, I wish it just had a wood fingerboard than richlite. I think it gives a more "natural" sound. Playability wise the 10e is better due to the wider nut width (1 3/4) compared to the 15m which is shorter.
I suggerst trying them both if they are available in your local.
