"Warm rich sound"

It's hard to describe the warm, ritch, beautiful sound this guitar produces. The sound body is full and very rounded. Ritch deep lows, solid highs, and a mid range that balances out perfect. I was hesitant about going with a cut away vs the dreadnought but the sound is truly remarkable. A lot of people say it doesn't compare to the higher end models but I call bull. I will never go back. I'm a 15 series for lifer. I perform live and record and this is now my go to. For live sets I do metal but always close out with an acoustic set to get more intimate with the audience and the crowd loves it. The electronics are the best also. They record lovely and sound amazing live. Well balanced with my vocals. A great campfire guitar also.I'm going to get the dreadnought to fit small venues. This is the perfect series of guitar.

Sound
Great sound right out of the box. I can't wait to see how it sounds over time.

Excellent craftsmanship. Well made with good quality materials.

I couldn't be happier. I have a D28 CE and think this is just another example of Martin's outstanding reputation of building exceptional guitars.

"Proud owner for 10 years"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I had always wanted a Martin and had the opportunity to buy this at a great price point. It has a magical sound to me - it might sound crazy but when I first played it, right out of the box the sound felt like I was in a forest somehow. The all mahogany build is something special I think and the pickups very subtle - in terms of an electro acoustic it plays really well simply connected to a PA I don't even use a DI box or go through a desk.

"WHAT A POS!!!!! DO NOT BUY !"

Im a professional musician who plays every weekend . So I put some miles on my Guitars. Always wanted a Martin and this price point was hard to beat. My wife purchased it for my Birthday Off this website. Less than a month later, I pulled it out of the case and in the body there was about a 6 inch hairline crack in it. I keep my instruments inside at all times in the cases. So obviously I was shocked to see it had a crack in it. I had only played this guitar 1 time inside for 30 minutes. So I contact ZZsounds and they were NO Help at all. Had to send it to Martin and they said they could fix it for $300.00 . I told them to keep it I had just purchased it and its obvious there is a defect in the body. After so many frustrated conversations finally they sent me a new one off the line. 6 months later Im playing a bar and into my 3rd song the guitar splinters in 4 different spots including where it was the last time I sent it in. After talking again via email with photos its apparent that Martin will not do anything to help. Ive had My Takamine for 7 years and not once have I had any issues with it. This guitar may be ok for the people sitting around the house but for a gigging musician its garbage.

Yes, not sure I need my D28
Sound
After reading about Martin's new model I just had a good feeling that was a guitar for me. While it wasn't the easiest to find, it was worth the effort. I love the warm bluesy sound from the solid mahogany body. My other Martin in the D28CE which I haven't played since I bought this one. I highly recommend DE15ME. Great value.
