The Martin D15 is a simply-decorated reintroduction of the mahogany-top acoustic that was so popular in the 1940's (currently Martin's most affordable guitar). The D15’s solid, genuine mahogany or sapele construction produces exceptional tone.
Features of the Martin D15 include a 2-piece back,
A-frame X-bracing, a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, a rosewood bridge and a satin body finish. The top is trimmed with a single banded gold herringbone decal rosette and a tortoise-colored pickguard. Mellower tonality and the classic playability and heritage of an American-made Martin instrument make the D15 a tremendous value. Hardshell case included.

Martin, Sr.'s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker's craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power.
Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F.
