This auditorium-size acoustic-electric features solid Indian plantation mahogany top with sapele back and sides, offering balanced projection with the intimate feel that defines the celebrated 15 Series. Perfect for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and acoustic enthusiasts seeking Martin's timeless aesthetic with modern electronics at an accessible price point.
Product Overview
The 000-15E represents Martin's commitment to traditional acoustic values through the distinctive 15 Series construction philosophy. The solid Indian plantation mahogany top creates a uniquely warm, woody voice with enhanced midrange presence that sets this guitar apart from typical spruce-topped instruments. This tonal character provides excellent note separation for fingerpicking while delivering the focused projection needed for vocal accompaniment and ensemble work.
The comfortable auditorium body size ensures excellent balance between playability and acoustic volume, making extended playing sessions comfortable while providing sufficient projection for solo performance. Sapele back and sides complement the mahogany top with added brightness and punch in the treble frequencies, creating a well-balanced voice that responds beautifully to both gentle fingerpicking and more aggressive playing techniques.
Martin's traditional construction methods include scalloped spruce bracing and mortise-and-tenon neck joint, ensuring optimal resonance transfer and long-term structural integrity. The satin finish allows the wood to breathe naturally while providing protection, contributing to the instrument's open, responsive character. These time-tested techniques create an instrument that feels familiar from the first strum while offering room for tonal growth over years of playing.
