Description

The Martin 15 Series D-15E Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a testament to Martin's commitment to quality and functionality. Drawing from a rich heritage, this model merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary features, creating an instrument optimized for performance and durability.

The body of the D-15E is characterized by its top made from indian plantation mahogany, paired with sapele for the back and sides. This combination produces a distinctive tonal balance, resonating with clear, bright, and punchy sounds. The natural satin finish further complements the wood, ensuring a resonant response while highlighting its organic beauty.

Transitioning to the neck, select hardwood has been employed to guarantee stability and longevity. This is paired with a katalox fingerboard which features a 16" radius, providing optimal playability. Intricately designed faux abalone inlays, in a Diamonds and Squares Short pattern, adorn the fingerboard, adding a subtle touch of sophistication. The headstock houses Ping Nickel Open Gear tuning machines, paired with a 1.75" white Corian nut, ensuring consistent tuning stability.

For those looking to turn up for stage or studio, the guitar incorporates Martin E1 electronics. This system offers controls for volume, tone, and phase, ensuring that the instrument's natural sound is faithfully reproduced.

Completing the package, the D-15E comes with a softshell case, offering protection and ease of transport. This model stands as a robust addition to Martin's lineup, designed for longevity and consistent performance at home or on the road.
