The 000-15E fits a unique slot in the Martin lineup—it's a 15-Series 000-size guitar made in Martin's Navojoa, Mexico facility. Carrying on the 15-Series tradition of no-frills sty ling and solid wood construction, the 000-15E packs an impressive roster of features at a price that is hard to pass up. The 000-15E starts with Martin's classic 14-Fret Auditorium 000 body, and then it has a solid Mahogany top with solid Sapele back and sides. The 000 is a comfortable guitar on your lap and on a strap, and the Mahogany top produces a warm, rounded sound with nice mid-range and softened trebles. Under the hood, scalloped The 000-15E has a 24.9" scale length, a real wood fingerboard, and a real wood bridge, both made from Katalox. Sometimes called Mexican Royal Ebony, Katalox is a dense Central American hardwood, so it provides the right feel and sound. While most 15-Series models do not include electronics, the 000-15E comes from the factory rigged with Martin's new E1 electronics. The Martin E1 includes controls for Volume, Tone, and Phase, all tucked discreetly in the soundhole. It also includes a built-in chromatic tuner that that automatically mutes the output so you can tune up any time without a goofy tuner clipped on your headstock. It's a nice bonus that makes this Martin 000 ready to go on tour.
