Martin D-15M Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - All-Mahogany | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Martin D-15M acoustic guitar revives the beloved Style 15 aesthetic with all-solid mahogany construction that delivers rich, warm tones with distinctive midrange character. This dreadnought offers powerful projection and complex overtones that complement vocals and blend beautifully in ensemble settings, making it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters and acoustic players seeking a unique tonal voice.

Product Overview

The D-15M showcases Martin's commitment to quality craftsmanship with its all-mahogany construction, featuring a mahogany top, back, and sides finished in satin Dark Mahogany. Unlike traditional spruce-topped guitars, this dreadnought employs A-frame X-bracing under the mahogany top, creating a distinctive sonic signature. The simple dovetail neck joint ensures excellent energy transfer from strings to body, while the clean, minimalist aesthetic—without binding or elaborate inlays—honors the original 1940s Style 15 tradition.

The Modified Low Oval neck profile with standard taper provides comfortable playability across all fret positions, paired with a select hardwood neck and East Indian Rosewood fingerboard featuring the classic Diamonds and Squares short pattern inlay. The 25.4-inch scale length and 1 11/16-inch nut width offer familiar Martin feel, while the bone nut and compensated saddle ensure excellent intonation. Ping nickel open-gear tuners with black knobs maintain stable tuning and complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Optional Fishman electronics are available for players who need amplification capabilities, with multiple premium systems to choose from including the Gold Plus Natural I, Infinity Matrix, Presys Plus, and Ellipse Matrix Blend. This flexibility makes the D-15M equally at home in intimate acoustic settings or on amplified stages. The guitar comes Plek'd from the factory, ensuring optimal fret leveling and playability right out of the case.

Key Features

All-Mahogany Construction

The D-15M's solid mahogany top, back, and sides create a tonal character distinctly different from spruce-topped guitars. The mahogany top emphasizes midrange frequencies and produces deep, complex overtones that develop even more richness as the wood ages. This construction excels at filling sonic space without overwhelming brighter instruments, making it ideal for ensemble playing and vocal accompaniment.

A-Frame X-Bracing Pattern

Martin's A-frame X-bracing design specifically complements the mahogany top, allowing it to vibrate freely while maintaining structural integrity. The non-scalloped 5/16-inch spruce braces are strategically positioned to enhance the guitar's natural resonance and projection. This bracing pattern contributes to the D-15M's balanced response across the frequency spectrum and impressive volume for an all-mahogany instrument.

Modified Low Oval Neck Profile

The comfortable Modified Low Oval neck shape with standard taper provides an ergonomic playing experience suitable for various hand sizes and playing styles. Combined with the smooth satin finish and 14-fret neck joint, players can navigate the entire fretboard with ease. The East Indian Rosewood fingerboard features a 16-inch radius for comfortable chording and precise note articulation.

Vintage-Inspired Appointments

True to the original Style 15 models, the D-15M features simple, elegant appointments including the multi-stripe rosette, tortoise pattern pickguard, and Diamonds and Squares fretboard inlay. The Modern Belly drop-in saddle bridge in East Indian Rosewood with ebony bridge pins ensures excellent string energy transfer. These vintage touches combine with modern manufacturing precision to deliver both classic aesthetics and reliable performance.

Factory Plek'd Setup

Every D-15M receives Plek treatment during manufacturing, utilizing computer-controlled precision to level frets and optimize string action. This process ensures consistent playability across the entire fretboard, eliminating buzzing and dead spots. The result is a guitar that plays exceptionally well straight from the factory, requiring minimal setup adjustments.
