Intoxicating aroma! Punchy midrange. Very light and apparent build quality. Also be aware that the nut width is on the thinner side (strings closer together). This is the second one I have owned. Sold the first and immediately started missing it.

The Martin 00015 is a wonderful guitar. I had been looking for months for a new acoustic and this guitar ended that search.
This guitar resonates beautifully. Craftsmanship is top notch. It sounds just how I hoped my next acoustic would sound.
I've purchased several guitars from American Musical and the service is exceptional. The different pay options are helpful. I've only had great experiences buying here.

An iconic classic! The tone, the ease of play,the smell of an all solid Mahogany guitar! Martin quality and the versatility of a 000-15M whether finger picking or strumming. Student or pro player, you need to have one! I own a few body styles of Martins and other makers but will always have the 000-15M close at hand.

Before Martin created the dreadnought, the 000 sized Grand Auditorium was the largest available model. The Martin 000-15 has all of the warmth, balance, and old school tone Martins are famous for. The midrange heavy mahogany top normally found with the D-15 is attenuated with the 000-15, which sparkles when fingerpicked, yet keep a nice rhythmic "chunk" when strummed.

I’ve been searching far and wide for a guitar this size (under $2000) that has the right tone, projection and feel. I had the road series 000 and it was great but this girl is just on a different level. The neck alone feels like a whole different ball game. The 1 11/16 nut is perfect for me for fingerstyle and has a great full sounds when strumming. If you’re hemming and hawing between 000s spend your money once and get her!

Best mid range Guitar I've bought

The guitar is punchy and well balanced in tone, extremely versatile for my play styles. Being able to buy a nice guitar without electronics already installed is a bonus for me as I'd rather choose my own electronics. As usual Martin delivers top notch quality even in their mid-range guitars. I'm overall very satisfied. The only gripe I have is I wish they'd install the strap nut on the neck for you. Even on a non-electric acoustic I don't know many people who actually prefer the strap to go around the nut.

The 00015mahogany makes my 4th Martin Guitar, and I am NOT disappointed in the least!
My Guitar collection so far includes Gibson's, Fenders, Epiphone, Crestline, Goyo and Martin!! Each Guitar is an individual, sound, playability,voice,tone and so forth. Martin is my favorite and unsurpassed in quality, workmanship and beauty of sound!!
As a friend Said of Martin Guitars, "ya could drop it down the stairs and it would make beautiful sounds on every step!", not that I recommend it!!

After carefully looking at several guitars, I ended up going with this Martin 000-15M. And boy, am I glad I did. This guitar is everything I’ve wanted and more. Some people don’t like the light weight of it, but they can’t deny how great it sounds. It’s a beautiful guitar, too. I’m very pleased with it and I highly recommend it. I did end up putting Elixir strings on it just because that’s my preferred brand. The factory strings sound great as well.

I have had my 00015M for about a month, I have other Martin's but This one I automatically fell in love with, only a guitar player would understand. I've owned a lot of guitars in my life I'm 64 yrs. young (started playing in 6th grade) you do the math, but I've never owned a guitar with such playability and it's volumes is like a much larger guitar. The price is unbelievably low for a guitar that plays like a much higher in piece. Great job as always Martin and leave it to AMS to offer it in ways that anyone can enjoy it. 00015M you can't go wrong.

Amazing deal comes with durable Martin case and the guitar is Honduras mahogany, a very mellow warm tone. Guitar comes with strap button, ask your local guitar tech to install if you’re not an expert. You could damage the guitar so I would take it to a tech but again excellent instrument.

The walls of my house are literally covered in guitars ... Taylors, Gibsons, Martins ... Over my 40 some odd years of playing,the quest has seemed neverending to find "that sound" ... And while each of my guitars are amazing in their own way, none of them hold a candle to my latest addition: The Martin 00015M Mahogany. My 914ce? Good sound. Lots of bling.My Hummingbird? Great for keeping a quiet room in a quiet little trance. But this Martin 00015M? Best tone I've ever experienced. Best note separation. Most balanced.Best feel and ease of play. And the look ... The look is that of something you'd expect to see slung over the shoulder of an iconic blues man like Robert Johnson or Blind Lemon Jefferson. I believe both played Martins, by the way. The fretwork is clean and finished to perfection. Intonation is spot on. The fit and finish are flawless. The Grover butterbean machineheads not only look like they were specifically made for this guitar but hold tune extremely well and operate with surgical precision. And it's an absolute joy to play.It takes alternate tunings like Drop D like a champ. I had my luthier put the action "in the dirt" (extremely low) and still not a single instance of fret buzz, even when I'm really digging in.I have guitars hanging all around me, some valued at 5 to 10 times what I paid for my Martin 00015M and not one of them sounds as good or plays as well. In my personal opinion, they should be asking a LOT more money for this one. It's iconic. It's beautiful. It gets more than the occasional look of envy from fellow guitatists at gigs. And I guarantee you it'll be passed down through the generations as "Grandpa's Martin" as an heirloom.

Your general opinion of this product.
This is the sweetest sounding guitar I have ever played. One strum of a 'D' chord and I was hooked. The shimmering purity of the sound was inspiring!
The instrument is flawless. The solid mahogany back,sides and top are perfefct. I found no blemish or defect anywhere. I tune it and it stays in tune.
It was surprisingly light when I picked it up. The set up was just right and it is a joy to play. I have to force myself to put it down. I have not played this much in a very long time.
It has a beautifull midrange tone as a good mahogany instrument would. I would call the sound crisp and tight and very hard to improve.
Perfect I find no reason to change anything.
The finish was fantastic no blemish to be found anywhere.
I have had it now for only 12 days so I have no real answer for that but I know if I treat it well, keep it between 40%-60% humidity and leave it in its case when it is not being used and wipe it down with a soft cloth after playing it the guitar will last me a lifetime and only get better and more mellow with age.

Your general opinion of this product.
All solid mahogany tone woods that brings the Martin acoustic sound to a new level. This model has that vintage 1930's look. Simple, no frills but rings with clarity and response that will inspire all who play one ...
Hand made in Nazareth, Pa with high quality mahogany tone woods and simple but elegant appointments. The fit and finish on my new Martin 000-15m is flawless. This is a professional level quality instrument!
Light and easy to handle with the smaller body size. The action was perfect out of the box! The guitar is very easy to play and will make anyone a better acoustic player who owns one. I tested the Martin D15m at my local music store and then ordered the Martin 000-15m here at American Musical Supply based on all the positive reviews. They were spot on!
The bass response is subtle but sufficient compared to the D15m but it is in the mid and highs where this model really shines. Incredible clarity and articulation throughout the entire tonal spectrum.
Perfection out of the box. Martin Guitar Company and it's employees are truly passionate to deliver an acoustic instrument to their customers that is the best quality in the industry.
The finish is superb!
I have only had the guitar for 2 weeks but expect that with proper care and maintenance it should last a lifetime. The case that came with this guitar is a very high quality acoustic case with a gold Martin Guitar emblem. Nice touch!

It's a Martin. I expect it'll be a tank just like my D28.
It's a Martin.
Your general opinion of this product.
Just what I expected it to be.
See action.
See sound.
Considering I got this as a "scratch & dent", for a very nice discount, the finish is almost perfect. Had one small area on the upper edge right below the soundhole with a slightly rough feel, but I can't find any "scratch & dent" on it. Love the satin finish mahogany. And....that heavenly SMELL!
Action is almost too easy. But then, I'm used to the firm, tight feel of the D28 with medium strings. I'm going to give myself a couple of months before I start messing with the action. I bought this one to have an Easy guitar to play in my old age; for fingerpicking and string bending. It's definitely easy with little buzz unless I strum pretty hard like I'm used to doing.

this is very good guitar with an amazing tone.
this has a very fast neck, i love it ..i couldnt really ask for more.. it makes playing it that much more fun
very warm blues sound to it.but can really be played for anything if you like the deep bass notes..but not to much to drown out the treble...
well its what i expected and actually preffer, you wouldn;t think such a sound would come from this,
wow it was actually almost in tune out of the box other then that i did not adjust anything...every note played on every fret no problem . even the one you cant reach are playable.

As in all Martin guitars, the quality of construction is superb. I am confident I will have this guitar for decades and that it will require very little tuning up over the years.
Just got it so I can't comment on that.
Your general opinion of this product.
I am very happy with this guitar. I'm not an expert on acoustics, but this thing looks and sounds amazing.
Super lightweight but obviously sturdy. Great combo. The neck is straight and confortable.
Nice bright sound that still manages to capture the bass well.
The finish is OK. It's a matte finish and I prefer something a little glossier, but as far as Martin's go this is the only finish for the all mahogany. Still a beautiful guitar. I wouldn't mind if they produced this guitar with a black binding.
Perfect

Your general opinion of this product.
Buy one now. Heck, at this price, buy two.
I'm mostly as dread and jumbo user, so the 000 will take some getting used to. Very comfortable, though.
Again, bright with clear mids and decent lows (given the body size), which was exactly what I was looking for.
Gorgeous wood, and I love a satin finish.
Very nearly perfect.
