Martin 000-15SM Acoustic Guitar Left Handed

Nothing beats the natural warmth and sustain of mahogany. There's a good reason why singer-songwriters and many guitarists who sing swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as the Martin 000-15SM. The naturally dark and mellow tone of mahogany is both extremely forgiving and it also provides a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound.

At the same time, the slightly deeper voice of the 000-15SM Left handed leaves plenty of sonic space for your voice, acting as an excellent source of accompaniment. Pure acoustic tone that will only get better over time. One reason that vintage Martin guitars like the 000-15SM sound so rich and captivating is that they've had years to age and mature. Solid wood guitars flex over the years and their tone "settles in" after lots of playing.

The Martin 000-15SM sounds amazing right out of the case - but give it five or ten years, and you'll be blown away by the additional harmonic richness that develops over time.
