All Mahogany Warmth In A Compact 00 That Begs To Be Played
The Martin 00-15M is one of those guitars you pick up for a minute and suddenly an hour is gone. All solid mahogany, featherweight, and ridiculously responsive, it hits that sweet spot between couch friendly comfort and serious studio tool.
This particular 00-15M, serial 2858856, keeps it simple in all the right ways. No bling, no fuss, just that dry, woody Martin midrange that records beautifully and makes fingerstyle, folk, and blues feel honest and effortless.
All Solid Mahogany For Warm, Woody Tone
Top, back, and sides are all solid mahogany, so you get that classic warm midrange and focused low end that mahogany lovers chase. Chords sit in the mix without getting boomy, and single notes have a sweet, vocal quality with just enough natural grit when you dig in.
The satin finish lets the wood breathe instead of choking it under thick gloss. Combined with the X-brace pattern, non scalloped spruce braces, and 5/16 inch brace size, the guitar feels alive under your right hand. You hear the wood, not the finish.
00-14 Fret Comfort With Surprising Volume
The 00-14 fret body size is that perfect in between. It tucks in close to your body for long sessions, but it is not a toy. At only about 3.4 pounds it is an easy all day player, yet it still has enough punch and projection to hold its own at a songwriter round or mic up beautifully in the studio.
If you gravitate toward fingerstyle, folk, or bluesy thumb work, this size just feels right. Notes jump out quickly, and the guitar responds to a light touch, so you can play dynamically instead of just playing loud.
A Neck That Feels Effortless, Not Tiny
The mahogany neck uses Martin’s Modified Low Oval shape with a Standard Taper, so it fills your hand without slowing you down. It is comfortable for thumb over players and traditional classical style left hands alike, and the satin finish keeps it fast and non sticky even under stage lights.
The classic 1 11/16 inch nut width makes chord work feel familiar, with enough room for clean fretting without feeling wide. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret, so you still have that modern reach when you need to get up the neck for leads or melody lines.
Clean, Honest Appointments That Serve The Sound
East Indian rosewood is used for both the fingerboard and the modern belly bridge, which adds a touch of snap and clarity to the all mahogany recipe. Bone nut and compensated bone saddle keep your intonation on point and help the guitar ring with a clear, piano like sustain.
The multi stripe rosette, tortoise pattern or black pickguard, and lack of binding or top inlay keep the look understated and classic. Ping nickel open gear tuners with black knobs hold tune rock solid and look right at home on the solid, square taper headstock with the old style script logo.
This one has been Pleked at the factory, so the fretwork is dialed in by a computer controlled leveling system before our techs ever touch it. You get smooth bends, clean vibrato, and no mystery buzzes up the neck.
