The CLP-15M is a seriously impressive offering for the price. Its 00-12 body style lends itself to fingerstyle and smaller hands, while the scalloped bracing delivers a surprisingly resonant tone. This is a fantastic choice for gigging musicians or students looking for a well-built, great-sounding acoustic without emptying their wallet.
