Martin 0-15 (USED, 1958)
Vintage
This gorgeous Martin plays beautifully up and down the neck, and rewards most any playing style with a quick response and beautiful, warm articulation.
Why We Love This
It's amusing to remind oneself that this 64-year old Martin 0-15 was once thought of as a student-model guitar. By today's standards, it's got the sort of sound that's the envy of all other guitars in the room. It plays beautifully up and down the neck, and rewards most any playing style with a quick response and beautiful, warm articulation.This particular 0-15 is in very good vintage condition. The original structure remains unaltered (internal bracing, bridge plate, and bridge are all original); and no significant structural repairs have been performed. The action currently sits at 3/32" (bass side) and 2/32" (treble side) under tension of light gauge strings; and while there's no room to lower it due to insufficient saddle height, no setup work is required at this time. A strap button has been installed. The guitar is priced with a hardshell case.
Please note: used instruments are, well, used. We pride ourselves on thoroughly vetting, and carefully photographing, each pre-owned instrument we sell, but many of them carry subtle signs of handling that can escape even the most discerning eye. If you have questions about the condition of this instrument, we invite you to call us for an in-hand description. We're here to help!
