Martin 000-15SM Overview

The Martin 000-15SM brings a vintage-inspired approach to the 15 Series with a 12-fret neck joint and slotted headstock, offering a different feel and response compared to standard 14-fret designs. Its all-solid mahogany construction delivers a warm, focused voice with strong fundamentals and a dry, woody character that suits both fingerstyle and light strumming.

With a longer 25.4" scale length and a comfortable Modified Low Oval neck, the 000-15SM provides a balance of tension and playability across the fingerboard. The satin finish keeps the feel natural and broken-in, while traditional touches like diamond and square inlays and side-mount tuners reinforce its classic aesthetic.
