The Premium Intermediate Acoustic Kit

A serious acoustic for a serious player.

Estimated cost: $650–$850Items: 3Updated May 2026

You've been playing for 1-2 years and you've outgrown your beginner guitar. At the intermediate level, the guitar itself starts limiting your expression — a quality acoustic responds to your dynamics, breathes differently with finger pressure, and makes your playing sound better simply by being a better instrument.

The Martin 000-15M is one of the most beloved acoustics Martin makes — all-mahogany construction (body and top) produces a warm, woody tone that's unlike anything a spruce-topped guitar produces. It's the guitar singer-songwriters use when they want warmth and intimacy over brightness. Martin guitars hold their value exceptionally well too.

This kit adds a D'Addario humidification system to protect your investment — acoustic guitars can crack in dry climates without proper humidity control.
