A perfect blend of vintage features and modern technology.
The Martin D15M acoustic guitar looks like it came right out of the history books, and delivers a sound
for the ages. In its 175-year history, Martin has set more guitar design trends than can be counted. The company still embraces
design techniques introduced many years ago to create their guitars' timeless tone.
Built on a dreadnought platform,
the Martin D15M guitar boasts 14 open frets for a unique design and great range of tone. The top, back, and sides are genuine
solid mahogany, offering strong guitar tone, with crisp, clear subtleties in each note's definition. One of mahogany's finest
qualities is its density. Although it's not the hardest tonewood, it is free of air pockets and other deformities.
The
vintage sound produced by the Martin D15M acoustic guitar is reminiscent of the Style 15 Martin guitars made popular during
the 1940s. The Martin guitar is equipped with a mortise and tennon neck joint, offering the best wood binding practice ever
conceived. Often used for shipbuilding, the process fuses 2 pieces of wood into a single, sturdy unit that stands up to the
elements time and time again. The results are evident with the strength in tone and power in projection that you hear with
each strum of this Martin acoustic guitar.
The Martin guitar's solid mahogany neck further complements the crisp,
defined acoustic sound of this dreadnought. The bridge and fingerboard are solid East Indian rosewood, adding smooth sustain
to the mix. The 14 open frets, 1-11/16" nut width, 2-1/8" bridge string spacing, and 16" radius add comfort for your intricate
fingerboard movements.
Other appointments include a single-ring rosette, bone nut, solid/square taper headstock, solid
East Indian rosewood headplate, diamonds and square fingerboard inlay, belly-style bridge, nickel open-geared tuning machines
with butterbean knobs, and a solid black ebony bridge and end pins. Dressed in a soft satin finish and featuring a Delmar
tortoise color pickguard, the Martin D15M guitar glows with classic vintage looks and sound. Includes a Martin 345 hardshell
guitar case.
