Default I am coming back home

A couple of years ago I made a big mistake , I sold my Larrivee OM-40 to buy an electric guitar. I missed my larrivee as soon as I got home with my new electric Gtertsch. I planned to use it with the praise and worship team at church, but I never could bond with electric guitar. So I have sold all four of my electric guitars that I had acquired along with my effects processor. I am now ready to pull the trigger on a Martin 000-10e. I am coming back into the fold of acoustic guitars. I am so excited. I. have a great grand daughter that I want to be able to sing and play guitar for her.
I would have gone for a 000-15sm if I could have afforded it but the 000-10e will have to do and from what I have heard it should do just fine.

awesome ! Welcome back! I've been tempted by the 000-10 as well. It's got a 1 3/4" nut and short scale and all sapele. You can't even get a short scale 15 series unless it's a custom that runs more than an 18 series. Enjoy it.

Welcome back - glad the Spirit moved you, but was expecting you were returning to the Larrivee fold

The 000-15sm is a short scale 1.75" nut guitar. Correction, it is not a short scale. The 000-15sm retails for $1,999.00.

You are forgiven, my son.

I wish I could have afforded another Larrivee, but I've always wanted a Martin.

My OM-40R is a great guitar. It has the maple binding that Martin ought to be using. They use nice rosewood. See below.

I am a big Martin fan boy BTW, so congrats on your new Martin.
