Here for sale we have a Martin D-15M Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural Satin finish. Made in 2012 in the USA, this guitar consists of a Mahogany top, Mahogany back and sides, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include open-gear button tuners, a Rosewood bridge, and a Fishman Presys+ preamp and pickup system with controls for the Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Notch, Brilliance, Phase, and an Onboard Tuner.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the 'C' profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and providing easy fretting and ergonomic thumb positioning in all registers. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, offering a smooth and durable playing surface, and with its traditional 16" radius is comfortable and practical across the register. The Dreadnought body shape is comfortable in the arms, with the all-solid construction ensuring a resonant and lively experience for the player.
The voice of the Martin D-15M is rich and warm, the Mahogany back and sides provide a silky smooth bass response that remains detailed and accurate across the dynamic range. The mids are punchy and clear, and add a warmth and clarity to the tone. The top end is sparkly and bright, adding a glistening quality to every note played on the instrument. The dynamic range of the Martin D-15M is impressive. Gentle playing is rewarded with a very tender and soft tone, ramping smoothly up to the rich, loud chord strumming sound that the Dreadnought is renowned for. The Fishman Presys+ preamp and pickup system beautifully captures the guitar's natural tone, allowing you to amplify it and sculpt your perfect live sound.
