Sound Pure's Take
Built entirely from solid mahogany underneath a rich satin finish, this Martin 00-15M pairs a compact, comfortable 00-14 fret body with non-scalloped X-bracing for a warm, focused, and woody acoustic response. A select hardwood neck features a Modified Low Oval profile and standard taper, holding an East Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 1 11/16" bone nut and abalone short-pattern diamonds and squares inlays. Elegant, understated details include a multi-stripe rosette, a dark tortoise-style pickguard, open-gear nickel tuning machines with large black knobs, and an East Indian rosewood modern belly bridge with ebony pins. Weighing an ultra-portable 4 lbs 1 oz, this all-mahogany parlor-style guitar ships with a softshell case.
From Martin and Co.
With its compact Grand Concert body and all-solid mahogany construction, the 00-15M delivers a warm, intimate sound that fits perfectly in any setting. It features a mahogany top, back, and sides, non-scalloped spruce X-bracing, and a satin finish that gives it a smooth feel and vintage-inspired appearance. The longer 25.4" scale length adds punch and clarity, while the 1 11/16" nut width and Modified Low Oval neck profile offer a comfortable, familiar playing experience. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard includes diamond and square abalone inlays, and nickel open-gear tuners complete the classic look. A softshell case is included, and optional electronics are available for players who want to plug in.
Due to material availability, this guitar is designed with either a tortoise pattern or a black pickguard. Selection may vary.
