An All-mahogany Beauty from Martin

The Martin D-15M acoustic guitar is a throwback to Martin's Style 15 models, which had their heyday back in the 1940s. A departure from Martin's more common spruce-topped models, the D-15M features an A-frame-X-braced mahogany top on an all-mahogany dreadnought body. A truly unique instrument, you'll find that the deep overtones of this all-mahogany dreadnought is perfect for filling out higher vocals and accompanying brighter spruce-topped acoustic guitars. If you're looking for an acoustic that combines complex tones and powerful projection, you're going to love the Martin D-15M!

All-mahogany body provides a rich and full voice

Join generations of singer/songwriters who have discovered the magic of a guitar like the Martin D-15M. The solid mahogany top, back, neck, and sides of the D-15M give it a darker and fuller voice than typical spruce-topped guitars. This complex voice is perfect for filling out the sound of a higher voice, making it a favorite among solo artists everywhere.

Elegance in simplicity

Martin proves beyond a doubt that simple is elegant, with the straightforward look and feel of the D-15M. A smooth satin finish makes the D-15M incredibly comfortable to play, and its minimalist single-ring rosette adds the perfect touch of class you can't help but admire. Unostentatious and easy on the eyes, the D-15M is the perfect guitar for anyone who can appreciate the artistry of subtlety.

An amazingly comfortable guitar

You don't often come across an acoustic dreadnought that can easily be described as comfortable. The Martin D-15M is one of those rare exceptions, which alone makes it an impressive instrument. Part of what makes this guitar so easy to play is the way its satin-finished neck feels on your hand. And combined with Martin's low oval neck carve, arguably one of the most comfortable neck carves ever made, the D-15M just feels right in your arms. Pick one up, and you'll know exactly what me mean!

Martin D-15M Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar Features:

  • A unique, all-mahogany dreadnought, with a rich and deeply vibrant voice
  • The perfect guitar for soloists or performers or play with other acoustic guitarists
  • Continues a legacy of mahogany-topped guitars established by Martin's Style 15 models of the 1940s

Procrastination

Love the D15 M and its great sound and playability. I had it picked out for over a year was trying to sell my Martin X series before the purchase and the price on the D15M went up $ and rightfully so. Just happy I finally bought it.

Rated 5/5

No Bling, beautiful sound, Simple high quality.

Love this guitar. Light weight, simple, elegant, and lovely tone. I would take this guitar anywhere. It's probably the perfect balance of high quality without having to be scared of damaging a $6k guitar. Well done Martin. This one's a gem.
Music background: Played in various churches over the years.
Rated 5/5

Not flashy but sounds amazing

I love the simplistic look of the D15M, all the way down to the rosette. You get major sound, build quality/craftsmanship without breaking the bank. This Martin is not flashy, but its not supposed to be. It pays homage to a time when great mahogany sound is more important than flashy binding, inlays and rosettes. I love mine and it isn't going anywhere!
