Acoustic guitar gurus: what's my Martin OM-15 worth?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

I bought this OM-15 back in '02. From what I have managed to glean they are in-demand, hard-to-find guitars now (discontinued), but I can't even find a completed auction on eBay for one.

My Google-fu must be weak today. I'm finding VERY little info out there.

Been thinking of selling it because I never play it anymore. I've pretty much lost interest in steel string acoustics these days. I'm either playing flamenco on my nylon or noodling around with the various electrics in the collection. And if I need an acoustic sound, I've got piezo-equipped electrics and acoustic simulator effects.

I have no idea but...



And no I can't afford it... whatever it is worth.

Edit: Found two... one listed at $925.. one sold at $900... would you trade for a 944? :P

The 000's go for $650-800, but the OM's are tougher to find. They sell for $800-950 and usually go pretty quick. Try the Acoustic Guitar Forum, there's a lot of activity over there. You can also try the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum but you have to be approved by the mods before you can post in the classifieds, sometimes takes a few days.

Wow, looks like Martin is the only stock that made me money in the '02-'11 timeframe.

It's a great guitar, I just don't play it. I'd consider your offer, Scott, if I didn't already have 5 cars, two bikes, and a 2-car garage. And an angry wife.

I have three or four basses... six or eight guitars (some hidden in the garage rafters hidden from angry wife).

I've made it a point to stop counting (or at least stop keeping track in my head) when it comes some things.

"How many knives do you have in your collection, now?!"

Um...

The guitar rule is that one must leave if a new one enters.

But honey, I stopped collecting watches!!!

Cool! I had a 000-15 in college. Great guitar for a bargain price.

I would check at the Martin Guitar Forum for this. Not certain the exact name / address but it should be easy to find.
