Manufacturer's ID: DC15MEL
What we say:
The depression-era 15 range has long been a favourite for players looking for authentic Martin feel and tone but with a slight twist away from the standard Spruce and Rosewood combination. The solid Mahogany top, back and sides give a mildly darker, smoother tones which is still lively and expressive. The 15 range is stripped for simplicity with a satin finish and no binding. Otherwise, it's classic Martin all the way.With the 15 series, it isn't even about 'cheaper': these guitars have a vibe and attitude all of their own and many players prefer these models specifically, regardless of cost. This left-handed cutaway dreadnought is a player's guitar and comes with a Fishman Matrix VT Enhance pickup system. Make sure you include a Martin 15 in your shortlist of guitars to demo next to you're in one of our stores researching the next addition to your guitar family.
