Sound Pure's Take
Love it! It's hard to beat these all-hog (Sapele in this case, Mahogany's brighter pseudo-cousin!) Martins for the value--warm, woody, and punchy. Great for fingerstyle but also responds wonderfully to a pick. A killer blues guitar and a fantastic vocalist's accompaniment as well. Don't miss it!
From Martin and Co.
Manufacture of the Martin 000-15 began in 1998. The 000-15 is part of Martin's 15 series - which are some of their most affordable instruments. As early as 1917 and up to the 1940s, many Martin guitars were built with tops, sides and backs of mahogany. The 15 series continued this tradition with solid, all mahogany construction (or from 2004 onwards sapele, a close relative of mahogany) . 15 Series guitars are also among Martin's most visually distinctive and innovative guitars with features including herringbone rosettes, rich satin finish, patented neck mortise and A-frame “X” bracing for enhanced tone.
