Martin Guitars - 000-15SM + Housse

The 000-15SM Martin & Co is based on a glued neck construction with a single dovetail joint, a choice that favours direct vibration transmission. This architecture enhances sonic coherence throughout the body. The unscalloped spruce X-bracing stabilises the response and maintains a constant balance, even with varied attacks.

The body/neck junction at the 12ᵉ fret subtly modifies the tension felt under the fingers. This configuration influences the overall feel and invites you to explore finer dynamics.

Its 645.16 mm pitch combined with a 44.45 mm top nut opens up comfortable finger space. This width benefits both fingerstyle and enriched tunings. The Modified Low Oval neck profile is slim and even, so it moves with you without breaking sensation. The guitar remains welcoming all along the neck, with no unnecessary tension.

The Indian rosewood fingerboard of the 000-15SM features abalone inlays in discreet geometric shapes, adding a clear visual statement without decorative overload. With a radius of 406.40 mm and 20 frets, the playing experience is more stable, even in high positions. The open Golden Age tuning machines ensure fluid, precise tuning. The bright nickel hardware completes the ensemble with a masterfully coherent aesthetic. Every detail contributes to the feeling of continuity between left and right hands.

The solid mahogany Auditorium body, including back and sides, delivers a balanced projection, centred on the midrange. This response promotes legible articulation, useful for nuanced arrangements. The Dark Mahogany satin finish enhances natural contact with the instrument, with no slippery surfaces or artificial feel.
