Beautiful shape, exquisite sound
Crafted in a beautiful auditorium shape, the 000-15SM produces
the most magnificent sound that is enriched with stunning clarity,
rich lows, and glistening highs. This wonderful guitar body is
highly desired for its balanced, all-rounded tone that makes it
superbly versatile. Its definition across the whole frequency
spectrum makes it well suited for writing, recording, and
performing purposes as well as a range of techniques and genres.
Such an adaptable, full-bodied sound also makes the 000-15SM the
perfect instrument to take with you on the road, as it will meet
every demand of busy touring life.
A sensational solid mahogany construction
For a tone that has power and warmth, there is no better wood
than mahogany. Showcased on both the body and neck, mahogany
encompasses punchy sonic attributes that team well with its
gorgeous tonal resonance brought by emphasis of midrange
frequencies. It grows tighter and more focused as it matures,
meaning your guitar will only get more beautiful with age. And it
looks truly stunning too. This guitar displays the natural grain of
mahogany as well as its deep, warm colour. Because sometimes
simplicity is best.
Smooth, flawless fretting
Practice for hours and hours on the robust mahogany neck. Such
stability is needed for the thinnest part of the guitar that
endures the most attack. It has been fashioned in a low oval shape
that enhances playability and sits comfortably in your grip. And
attached on top is a stunning East Indian rosewood fretboard. Not
only is it the perfect accompaniment to the 000-15SM's body, but it
delivers a gloriously balanced tone that lends itself to a range of
playing techniques. From solid lows to sparkling highs, project
every note with clarity. Its smooth finish is perfect for swift
chord changes and intricate fingerpicking styles and promises to
never slow you down.
Stability from the inside
Located inside the resonant body is non-scalloped X-bracing, a
sturdy structure that prevents the guitar's body from collapsing
under high string tension or excessive playing. Tune up and play
without worrying about any potential guitar body tragedies, the
bracing is strong enough to withstand any amount of pressure and
even enhances your sound whilst doing so.
Gorgeous, acoustic design
Even from just one look at the Martin 000-15SM, its simplistic
beauty is astounding. Its deep, natural colour radiates with a
satin finish, allowing the solid mahogany body and neck to take
centre stage. Subtle details such as diamond and square fretboard
inlays and a faux tortoise pickguard have been added to enhance an
already stunning aesthetic. But what makes this instrument stand
out is its slotted headstock that features an elegant square taper,
offering a truly beautiful traditional and classic appearance. The
headstock is then topped with golden age bright nickel machine
heads and Martin's signature inlay for a dazzling final touch.
Protect such a beautiful instrument on the road, a soft case is
included, meaning you can travel stress-free whilst the case
absorbs any knocks or scrapes. The 000-15SM will be ready and
waiting for you, always in pristine condition.
