Martin 000-15M - USA 2016

The 2016 Martin 000-15M is a beautifully crafted acoustic guitar that carries on the legacy of Martin's storied history. The 000-15M is part of the 15 Series, which has long been known for its simplicity, elegance, and outstanding tone. Introduced as a more affordable option compared to the higher-end Martin models, the 000-15M combines a solid mahogany top, back, and sides with a traditional 000 body shape, offering a rich, warm tone that has become a hallmark of the series. Its smaller size and deeper tonal qualities make it an ideal choice for fingerstyle playing, strumming, or light flatpicking, providing a classic Martin sound in a versatile package.

This model features a solid mahogany body, which gives it a smooth, mellow sound with a beautiful midrange warmth. The 000-15M also includes a comfortable, low-profile neck, a solid rosewood fingerboard, and a traditional X-bracing pattern that allows the guitar to resonate with incredible sustain. Its simple yet elegant design with a satin finish and the distinctive grain of the mahogany provides both a visual and tonal appeal. With its easy playability and smooth finish, it is a popular choice among players looking for a high-quality, no-frills instrument.

The 2016 Martin 000-15M is in great condition, showing only some minor blemishes, typical of an instrument that has been carefully played. There are a few light marks, but these are purely cosmetic and do not affect its sound or playability. The guitar has been well looked after, and its tonal qualities are still as rich and vibrant as when it was new. For anyone seeking a high-quality, well-built Martin at an attractive price, this 000-15M is a fantastic option that delivers both value and exceptional craftsmanship.
