Martin D15 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (with Case) Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"If you have doubts, DONT.. You have to play this one"
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.

"Martin D-15- A Sweet Chocolate Dreadnought- With an Even Sweeter Sound!"
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.
