Martin brings the musical allure of a solid mahogany top and sapele body into 000 form with the extraordinarily charming 000-15E acoustic-electric guitar. This comfortably sized 6-string resonates with rich tonal appeal and sings out proudly thanks to its internal X-bracing. The Performing Artist neck profile offers a thinner and extremely balanced feel in the hand that promotes remarkable playability for both the professional player and the casual strummer. Nickel open-gear tuners and Diamonds and Squares inlays across a sustain-laden katalox fingerboard help emphasize this classic Martin design that’s sure to captivate the eyes and ears of your audience and become the envy of your fellow musicians. Factor in the legendary convenience and precision of Martin’s built-in E1 electronics, and there isn’t a stage that the 000-15E can’t handle with confidence!

Terrific tone, flawless feel

Boasting its iconic shadowy wood aesthetic — a look players have enjoyed since the early ’20s — the 000-15E exhibits slightly darker and unique tonal qualities to match. A solid mahogany top means plenty of deep, rich tonality backed by as much resonance as you could ask for. Matched perfectly by a resonant and more treble-forward sapele body, the 000-15E exudes the deeper tone you crave with lively articulation to expertly combat muddiness. Aiding in the deluxe musicality of this 6-string is a 16-inch-radius katalox fingerboard, which houses 20 frets and supplies its fair share of magnificent sustain for showcasing the tonal complexities of every strum with lasting presence. Packed into a comfortable 000 body with an effortlessly manageable 24.9-inch scale length, your 000-15E will fall into place beautifully!.

Tastefully designed

The 000-15E doesn’t radiate flashiness — and that’s exactly what we love about it! A subtly gorgeous strummer, what detailing you’ll find is wholly delivered with class and old-age charm. Open-gear tuning machines with unique black buttons provide not only the intonation dependability and adjustment precision you’re looking for, but they do so with lovely vintage character. The same attraction can be found in the 000-15E’s fingerboard inlays, featuring Martin’s legendary and luxurious Diamonds and Squares pattern. A handsome single-ring rosette and proper tortoiseshell pickguard complete the curb appeal.

Onboard E1 electronics

Martin E1 electronics let you quickly connect to your favorite acoustic amp, recording interface, or even house PA systems at venues. Musicians at Music Experience are impressed with the E1 system’s tone, volume, and phase-reverse controls, which let you faithfully amplify your 000-15E’s richness and warmth while shaping sound quality to taste. The E1’s phase-reverse button is especially convenient for eliminating prickly feedback in tight spaces when standing near your amp is unavoidable. What’s more, the E1 system features a built-in tuner. You can tune up without cable connections, so tuning breaks onstage and on the couch are equally painless! With onboard electronics this good, you’ll feel confident the 000-15E is equipped for anything.
