Powerful Projection and Focus with a Beautiful Distressed Finish

This Martin 000-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar is one of the most comfortable guitars out there, thanks to its compact Auditorium-style body — and it delivers surprising amplitude and focus, along with a forward, balanced tone. Built from solid mahogany and given a neat-looking distressed finish (a tip of the hat to the working musician), this great-sounding acoustic guitar imparts warm, lively characteristics to your playing, along with an amazingly rich tonal complexity. The 000-15M has always been popular here at Sweetwater, due to its versatility, playability, and real-world price tag, so we're confident you'll fall in love with this Martin 000-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar — right from the first strum!

Solid mahogany tonewood delivers rich tonal complexity

There's a good reason why singer/songwriters swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as this Martin 000-15M. The naturally warm and lively tone of mahogany both is extremely forgiving and also provides a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound. At the same time, the slightly deeper voice of this 000-15M StreetMaster leaves plenty of sonic space for a vocal, acting as an excellent source of accompaniment.

Comfortable Auditorium body style

The forward, balanced tone of the 000-15M StreetMaster comes from its Auditorium body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus, perfect for competing with a banjo (which was a common combination in the '30s). The Auditorium body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this 000-15M perfect for recording in the studio.

Smooth low-oval neck profile and Plek'd frets

Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin 000-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar. It features one of Martin's amazing modified low-oval neck profiles, which gives you enough girth to hold onto while still allowing you to play faster lines unhindered. It has a standard neck taper, and the Plek'd frets and smooth katalox (Mexican royal ebony) fingerboard ensure a playing experience that few guitars can offer.

Martin 000-15M StreetMaster Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Solid mahogany tonewood delivers rich, complex tone with satisfying warmth
  • Unique distressed finish is an appealing nod to today's working guitarist
  • Auditorium-style body offers enhanced comfort and projection
  • Low-oval neck profile improves playability for more confident performance
  • Smooth, extremely durable katalox fingerboard for lasting beauty and playing pleasure
  • Diamonds and squares — short pattern fingerboard inlays for an eye-catching appearance
  • Open-geared (Golden Age Relic Nickel) tuners with butterbean knobs keep you in tune with style

Couldn't put it down.

I had a chance to play with one of these at a local guitar shop. I played it for about an hour and a half and and I couldn't put it down. I felt there was really something special about it. I've played quite a few high end Martins and this played a bit like one of those. It didn't sound anything at all like a spruce top guitar, but it sounded great.

I was skeptical about the mahogany construction, but it really does have a sweet balanced tone. It has a slightly muted, mellow sound while still being bright and punchy. Somewhat similar to a cedar top guitar, but not exactly.

The guitar I demoed was one of the most comfortable acoustic guitars I've ever played and it was set up to absolute perfection. I played it up and down the entire neck effortlessly. I really felt like I was holding on to something special.

Sweet Streetmaster!

Each time I pick up this Streetmaster it sounds richer and mellower than the first time I held it. It came perfectly set up right out of the well packaged box (after the required 24 hour wait for acclimation). The mahogany is beautiful and I feel like I play better, although not sure it is my playing or just the playability of this instrument. I would bet the latter! Needless to say, I love this guitar. Thanks to Mike Brandt for his continued great advice on each purchase with Sweetwater. They are my go to retailer for anything instrument related as they always provide great customer service.
Music background: Piano, banjo, new to guitar for the last 4 years and just play for my own enjoyment.

Beautiful, quiet, compressed sound

I recently bought (and now returning) this beautiful 000-15 streetmaster guitar. First, this guitar looks fantastic. Martin did a great job with the worn, woody look. Just love it. Second, it has a lovely Martin sound and stays in tune as expected. Third, it shines at finger picking style. With the mahogany tone wood, you get a compressed sound which results in every note sounding out with approximately the same volume even when not picking consistently. So the dynamics is more controlled where in a spruce top, you might have to be a better player to really play consistently as notes can be relatively soft and loud depending on how you play. This guitar minimizes that effect...where the volume is more consistent regardless of plucking - that may be a good or bad thing depending on you. I like it. It’s more forgiving when finger picking pretty lines.

Now why am I returning? After playing it for a couple weeks, (and comparing with my own collection of guitars), I’m noticing that I really want more volume and bass and richness that I can hear. When I record bits on my phone for sharing with friends, I can barely hear myself where with other acoustics, it’s not really an issue. For studio recording this would not matter as you can control gain and signal. But for playing around the fire or the living room, it’s not ideal especially for strumming. Finger picking in a quiet room is quite blissful. But I’m currently looking for a good strummer with more dynamics, volume, and bass.

Secondly, I already have a Taylor with 1 11/16 like this one. I’m really looking for a 1 3/4 nut now as I love finger picking and with my bigger hands, I want a bigger nut for for better accuracy and comfort.

Lastly, when comparing to a small body (spruce top) Taylor Academy 12E, which has similar dimensions, the Martin is ever so slightly (just barely) a little more difficult to play chords cleanly and changing shapes with complete ease. It’s not so much the setup (possibly) as the setup is really good. For example, I have to apply slightly more pressure for barre chords close to the nut to get a clean strum and further up the neck. Notes and chords in the middle of the fretboard are similar to the Taylor.

But all guitars are different and have a different feel so I’m giving this 5 stars as it is a 5 star guitar in my mind. My preference now is for a louder acoustic, wider nut, with a high tolerance for playability. I’m eyeing a D18.

Hope this review helps. And what a beautiful looking guitar this is.

Man I LOVE this guitar!

I have a Martin D28 that is my #1 gigging guitar. I've been playing it non-stop the last few years. I wanted a different sounding guitar for recording and songwriting purposes... I stumbled upon this 00015 Mahogany model guitar in a music store one day. I was BLOWN AWAY! I'm not really a guitar snob, as I've mostly played Blueridge workhorse guitars for the last 10-12 years. I finally saved up and bought the coveted D-28 since I was playing so many gigs and I wanted to step up my guitar game. But this new Martin 000-15M StreetMaster has rounded out my small collection (3 guitars) very nicely! I am going to a session next week and I'm leaving my D-28 at the house, bringing my new Mahogany StreetMaster instead!

And a HUGE shoutout to my rep Joseph Donner for the personal touch, the incredible wealth of knowledge, the professionalism, and the courtesy he has shown me over the last few years. As we've gotten busier with music travel and pursuits, Joe has helped me find the exact thing I need for every scenario I've called him about the last few years. I actually can't wait to catch up when I talk to him every few months!

Joe has gone above and beyond multiple times and I am so excited I took his advice and bought this guitar through Sweetwater! I could've gone back and bought that guitar at the store I was in, but I wanted to talk to my Sweetwater rep first and see what he thought about them. Joe knew all about that model and educated me on the difference between the 000-15 streetmaster and other Martins. He automatically could describe the sound and WHY he thought I liked it.... I know what I like with guitars, but I'm not always sure why. haha.

Of course with the 48 months, no interest, I just could not resist the opportunity to buy this guitar. I am so glad I did! If you're a songwriter or a gigging musician, GET THIS GUITAR if you can swing it. Call Joseph Donner!

Much More than I expected

First let me say Sweetwater went out of their way to try to fix FedEx screw ups. FedEx has become totally unreliable. I order overnight but get delivery four days later.

Now let's move on to the guitar. I wanted a "made in America" guitar I could mainly practice with or simply pull out and just play. I have a beautiful Breedlove electric/acoustic which the wife and I love to play any time. It's big and heavy but beautiful sound and tone we both love.
So this guitar is mainly a practice guitar for the most part. The Martin really fit all my requirements and was made in Pennsylvania and was "pre-plecked" and solid mahogany top and sides. I love the deep warm sound of mahogany. I would have wanted a light gig bag but frankly the gig bag that came with this guitar is as close to a solid case as anything I have ever seen. Thick protection and outstanding zippers and storage. Now on to the Martin: thankfully it came without so much "distressed" look as I feel that is just a bit overdone. This guitar had light distressed look but nothing all over like picture on Sweetwater. It is super light, I mean lighter than any guitar I can remember playing. Frankly this would be a perfect guitar for beginner, although the price is steep for a beginner. This is truly a performer's guitar. It has so much volume and warm depth. It is much louder than my Breedlove just strumming but then again the Breedlove is acoustic electric so volume is not as important. This is a guitar you could just pick up and play anywhere. The action was nice and low the fretboard is perfect, so smooth and slick, my hand just flew over the fretboard. I also noticed it was very easy to make barre chords just like my Breedlove. This guitar is really worth every penny of investment. I had a great Taylor that I passed on to my son but frankly this guitar is really more playable and a bit more warmer and louder than the
Taylor. Guitars are a personal thing but this guitar would please anyone in my opinion.
