MARTIN D-15E (opened)

The 15 Series line of American Martin guitars offers all-massive acoustic guitars made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, that you can identify by their solid mahogany bodies with satin finishes, X ribbing, and the attractive look and feel of guitars played over the years.

The Martin D-15E is a dreadnought-style electro-acoustic guitar with a mahogany front and sapele back and sides, a wood related in properties, appearance and botanical characteristics to real mahogany (often referred to as "sapele mahogany"). The standard X-ribbing, which was developed by Martin in 1850 and is still used by most manufacturers today, ensures a full, solid sound.

A catalox fingerboard with 20 frets is glued to the Select Hardwood neck. This wood is commonly used as a replacement for ebony, which it also resembles in colour. The strings are mounted in open nickel tuning machines via a Corian fret and a TusQ saddle fret in a catalox headstock.

The sound system is provided by the company's electronics in the soundhole. The guitar comes in a quality case (Soft Shell Case), making it instantly ready to be loaded into the trunk of your car/van for long or short trips to pursue your musical dreams.

The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in stringed instruments. For decades, it has been one of the leading innovators in guitar design and manufacturing technology. However, to use only the past tense would be a great mistake; instruments with the Martin logo are still today among the guarantees of the highest quality in craftsmanship and sound. In addition, their current products use "eco-friendly" components made from renewable resources and composite materials.
