Sound Pure's Take

Constructed completely from solid mahogany under a smooth satin finish, this Martin 000-15M features a comfortable 000-14 fret body, non-scalloped X-bracing, and a warm, woody acoustic tone. Its select hardwood neck has a Modified Low Oval shape with a standard taper, carrying an East Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 1 11/16" bone nut and abalone short-pattern diamonds and squares inlays. Simple yet classic appointments include a multi-stripe rosette, a tortoise-pattern pickguard, an East Indian rosewood modern belly bridge with ebony pins, and open-gear nickel tuning machines with black knobs set into a square-taper headstock. Weighing a nimble 3 lbs 7 oz, this dark mahogany 000 model comes complete with a softshell case.

From Martin and Co.

The 000-15M pairs Martin’s Auditorium body with all-solid mahogany construction for a warm, focused sound and a smooth, balanced feel. It features a mahogany top, back, and sides, non-scalloped spruce X-bracing, and a traditional satin finish that gives it a natural, broken-in look and feel. The longer 25.4" scale length adds punch and clarity, while the 1 11/16" nut width and Modified Low Oval neck profile offer easy playability across styles. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard includes diamond and square abalone inlays, and nickel open-gear tuners complete the classic look. A softshell case is included, and optional electronics are available for players who want to plug in.

 

Due to material availability, this guitar is designed with either a tortoise pattern or a black pickguard. Selection may vary.
