The Martin D-15E is an electrified version of Martin’s revered mahogany dreadnought, designed to captivate both onstage and in the studio with its blend of modern electronics and classic acoustic tone. This acoustic-electric guitar delivers a smoky, low-end focused drawl that's ideal for a range of playing styles—from singer/songwriters and blues pickers to fingerstyle enthusiasts.
 
The D-15E’s big-bodied dreadnought design ensures a commanding unplugged presence with its massive low end and punchy projection. The guitar’s non-scalloped X-bracing further enhances its robust, rich tone, making it perfect for dynamic strumming and complex chord work. The hardwood mahogany top, paired with sapele back and sides, imparts a darker, midrange-centric character with a pleasing natural compression that responds beautifully to aggressive playing.
 
One of the standout features of the D-15E is its advanced electronics. Equipped with Martin’s E1 electronics system, this guitar provides a hassle-free way to achieve authentic, amplified dreadnought tones. An easy-to-read soundhole tuner, mounted conveniently on the opposite side of the pickup controls, ensures you stay in tune with minimal effort.
 
Playability is a key highlight, thanks to the slim High Performance Taper neck, which offers a slightly slimmer profile for maximum comfort. The wide 1.75-inch nut width and smooth katalox fingerboard enhance playability, making it easy to navigate the frets whether you're strumming chords or executing intricate fingerstyle passages. Open-back tuners add to the guitar’s reliable tuning stability.
 
In essence, the Martin D-15E represents a seamless integration of traditional Martin craftsmanship and contemporary acoustic-electric functionality, making it an excellent choice for musicians who demand both classic dreadnought tones and modern performance capabilities. This guitar has been set up by our in-house luthier, and is ready for the stage/studio!
