The 00-15M is a Nazareth-built 00-14 fret guitar in solid mahogany, top, back and sides, under a satin Dark Mahogany finish. The X braces are non-scalloped spruce. The Modified Low Oval neck has a Standard Taper on a 25.4" scale, and the 1 11/16'' nut is slightly narrower than the 1 3/4'' on the Standard Series necks, a shorter reach for chord shapes. The East Indian rosewood board carries abalone diamonds and squares, with a bone nut, compensated bone saddle, ebony pins and Ping open-gear tuners with black buttons. Martin offers Fishman Gold+Plus Natural electronics as an option.
For the same build on the larger 000 body, look at the 000-15M, and for a 12-fret 000 with a slotted head, the 000-15SM. The 000-17 is a Standard Series mahogany 000 with Golden Era Scalloped bracing, a 24.9" scale and a hardshell case.
