D-15 Dreadnought.
With its mahogany construction and simple appointments, the D-15 Dreadnought is
reminiscent of the Style 15 guitars of the 1940s and marks the reintroduction
of mahogany top guitars to our product line. It is the lowest priced solid wood
Martin guitar currently available. Case included in the purchase price.

I bought this guitar after playing everything my local shop had (about fifty acoustics). I went in for the HD28, left with this. Added ivory nut, saddle (one that also lowered the action some), bridge pins, and have an incredibly player-friendly instrument with a sound that cannot be beat, even against the $14000 DC Golden Era, for a fraction of the cost, even after buying the pieces and having them installed. It stays in tune like nothing else I ever played, as well. It's a Martin, solid wood, beautifully constructed, gorgeous, and just sounds better and better as time passes. For the money, you will not beat this guitar.

Absolutely delighted with customer service. My new D-15 arrived earlier than promised. The sound of this solid wood guitar is awesome. I am truly pleased. The price, of course is terrific for a genuine Martin guitar. My only disappointment is the action. It is higher than other Martins and Taylors that I have played. I am still wrestling with returning it before my 45 day return period expires....but the sound has me hesitating.
