Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
An absolutely marvelous and decidedly rare take on a Martin classic! This Kenny Sultan features Addy top and braces, Fiddleback back and sides, a vintage inspired modified V neck and 2 5/16" saddle spacing, and, to top it off, a downright purty sunburst. Fingerstyle players in particular will delight at the full range of tone and temperaments offered by this beautiful instrument--from forward, throaty, and aggressive to sweet, mellow, and singing, this is a tool for self expression if ever there was one. Dynamite!

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.
