C. F. Martin 0-15 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar, c. 1953, made in Nazareth, PA, natural lacquer finish, mahogany body and neck, Brazilian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, black tolex hard shell case.
A fine gigging guitar, and a delight to play. Sunrise soundhole pickup mounted with endpin jack. This small-body all-mahogany Martin has seen some road use but is ready for more! The 0-15 was Martin's least expensive guitar, but is still built with the expected quality; the company sacrificed only ornamentation to bring the price down. The mahogany top gives a generally sharper tone than spruce, and this guitar amplifies extremely well.
Overall length is 38 3/4 in. (98.4 cm.), 13 1/2 in. (34.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.).
Well-played with moderate overspray on the back and sides. Noticeable repair to top adjacent to bass end of fingerboard. Gold-plated Schaller tuners added. Overall Very Good Condition.
