The Martin D15S 15 Series Slotted Headstock Style Dreadnought - Martin has long recognized the excellent tonal qualities of mahogany bright, clear trebles and a warm mid-range. As early as 1917 and up to the 40s, many Martin guitars were built with tops, sides and backs of mahogany. Today the 15 SERIES continues this tradition with solid, all mahogany (or sapele, a close relative) construction. Among our most affordable solid wood guitars, 15 Series guitars are also our most visually distinctive and innovative. Features include herringbone rosette, rich satin finish, patented neck mortise and A-frame X bracing for enhanced tone.
