There's a good reason why singer/songwriters swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as this Martin 000-15M. The naturally warm and lively tone of mahogany both is extremely forgiving and also provides a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound. At the same time, the slightly deeper voice of this 000-15M leaves plenty of sonic space for a vocal, acting as an excellent source of accompaniment.
Comfortable Auditorium body style
The forward, balanced tone of the 000-15M comes from its Auditorium body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus, perfect for competing with a banjo (which was a common combination in the '30s). The Auditorium body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this 000-15M perfect for recording in the studio.
Smooth low-oval neck profile and Plek'd frets
Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin 000-15M acoustic guitar. It features one of Martin's amazing modified low-oval neck profiles, which gives you enough girth to hold onto while still allowing you to play faster lines unhindered. It has a standard neck taper, and the Plek'd frets and smooth rosewood (East Indian) fingerboard ensure a playing experience that few guitars can offer.
What Martin Says...
The 000-15M model continues the Martin tradition with a 000-14 fret body size, solid mahogany construction and a rich satin finish. Satisfy your desire with an affordable solid wood guitar that is visually distinctive and innovative.
