Solid mahogany tonewood delivers rich tonal complexity





There's a good reason that singer/songwriters swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as this Martin D-15M. The naturally warm and lively tone of mahogany is extremely forgiving and also provides a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound. At the same time, the deep timbre of this D-15M StreetMaster leaves plenty of sonic space for a vocal, acting as an excellent source of accompaniment.

Classic dreadnought body style





The rich tone and loud volume of the D-15M StreetMaster come partly from its ever-popular dreadnought body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus, perfect for pairing with a banjo (which was a common combination in Martin's golden era, the 1930s) or other instruments in an ensemble. The dreadnought body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this D-15M an excellent choice for recording in the studio.





Smooth low-oval neck profile and Plek'd frets





Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin D-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar. It features one of Martin's amazingly playable modified low-oval neck profiles, which gives you enough girth to hold onto while still allowing you to play faster lines unhindered. It has a standard neck taper, and the Plek'd frets and smooth katalox (Mexican royal ebony) fingerboard ensure a playing experience that few guitars can offer.
