Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Channeling early 20th-century acoustic design, the Martin 000-15SM features an all-mahogany construction across its solid top, back, and sides in a satin Dark Mahogany finish. Weighing a lightweight 3 lbs 4 oz, its 000 12-fret body utilizes non-scalloped spruce X-bracing and simple dovetail neck joinery paired with a select hardwood neck shaped to a Modified Low Oval profile. The slotted headstock features a square taper, an East Indian rosewood headplate with a Script Old Style logo overlay, and side-mounted Golden Age bright nickel tuners with ivoroid knobs. Its East Indian rosewood fingerboard is appointed with abalone short-pattern diamonds and squares inlays, yellow side dots, and a 1 3/4" bone nut over a 25.4" scale length, complemented by an East Indian rosewood Modern Belly bridge with a 16" radius compensated bone saddle and a Crossrock hardshell case.
From Martin and Co.
The 000-15SM offers a vintage-inspired take on Martin’s Auditorium body with a 12-fret neck joint and slotted headstock for classic style and feel. It features all-solid mahogany construction, non-scalloped spruce X-bracing, and a satin finish for a natural, smooth feel. The longer 25.4" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width provide plenty of room for expressive playing, while the Modified Low Oval neck profile ensures comfort across positions. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard includes diamond and square abalone inlays, and nickel side-mount tuners complete the traditional aesthetic.
