The Martin D-15E is a solid wood acoustic-electric Dreadnought that feels like an old favorite from the very first strum. With a satin-finished mahogany top and sapele back and sides, it delivers a warm, woody tone with a punchy midrange and bright, articulate trebles. Non-scalloped spruce X-bracing provides a focused, balanced voice, while the Dreadnought body shape brings power and projection to everything from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming. The select hardwood neck features Martin’s Performing Artist profile for a smooth, comfortable playing experience, and the 25.4″ scale and 1 3/4″ nut width offer plenty of room for expressive dynamics. Outfitted with Martin E1 electronics—including volume, tone, phase control, and a built-in chromatic tuner—it’s ready to plug in and go. Topped off with subtle faux abalone fingerboard inlays and a softshell case, the D-15E is a stage- and studio-worthy instrument that delivers timeless tone, modern playability, and exceptional performance at an accessible price.
