Feature:
I had to put a pickup in, but I preferred to over the electric model because it sounds better than the thinner body of the elec. It did suck though having to drill into a brand new guitar. It'd be nice if it were pre-drilled.
Quality:
built solid. I've had it for 5 years now and it resonates as true as the first day.
Desirability:
I like the dark wood. Iäm not into much inlay work, just sound. But if anything, a light binding around the body would accent it nicely.
Sound:
The first time I strummed it I could tell this was the one. It resonates better than the heavy laquered models. And it was fuller sounding, not just louder.
Ease of Use:
Martin bronze X light strings sound fantastic, but I admit it sounds best with med or light Martin strings. Other brands don't seem to bark like Martin bronze.

Feature:
A simple understated guitar- beautiful like a simple acoustic guitar florish...
The choice of an all Mahogany body - gives it that unique warm sound- it also gives it that unmistakable cholocate color - who can resist a fudge brownie?
Look... if you want a spruce top- your gits going to look like everyone elses. This one will stop people in their tracks - beleive me. Its unique and in its simplicity ...beautiful.
Quality:
Fit and finish is top notch. As many of the reviewers have already indicated- the sides are a tad thin- there is no binding- which adds to the beauty of this guitar. Take care of it.
Value:
There isn't another guitar out there at this price - that can touch the D-15 in value and in sound.
Desirability:
It's dark- its sounds are warm and addictive- this guitar has it all.
Sound:
One word- beautiful - Warm, bassy on the low end, balanced and clear on the highs. Sounds as good- if not warmer than D- 28's and 35's that I've played- and without the overdone brightness or shrill that some of the Taylors seem to usually posess. This is an incredible sounding guitar- Sound that you you'd expect from a git much more expensive. When you get it- put some A'Addario EXP's Medium Phosphor Bronze Strings on it- wow.
Support:
Haven't had to deal with martin- but I heard only good things regarding there customer support- Make sure to registrar it.
Overall:
I going to wear it out or it's going to wear me out- and when I'm done with it- it will be in the hands of my son.
