If you’ve had your eye on a Martin 15 Series guitar, the D-15E is going to knock your socks off. With it having a mahogany top, it’s much less bright than it’s spruce-topped siblings. Instead, it has a mellower, richer, smokier tone to it. This 14-fret Dreadnought is crafted with sapele back and sides and a mahogany top with non-scalloped bracing, so you’re going to hear bright, airy trebles and a punchy midrange. The Dreadnought body provides plenty of volume so this baby can handle whatever music scenario you can dream up. To top it off, this model comes equipped with Martin E1 electronics and a softshell case to make it super easy to take with you on all your adventures.
