Martin D-15 Acoustic Guitar

Pros: nice, lively sound; easy to play; all solid wood

Cons: doesn't have the deep, resonant bass of the D-28

The Bottom Line: The Martin D-15 is an excellent all-solid-wood dreadnought guitar that can be had for under $600 dollars.

Review: I’m going to attempt something difficult for me: to write a guitar review that does not go on and on. It is about a basic guitar, so I will attempt a basic review.

You know you have “arrived” when you buy your first all-solid-wood guitar. That...

Pros: Rich tones, great action, a joy to hold and play.

Cons: Absolutely none!

The Bottom Line: A basic 'bottom' model of a full size Dreadnaught 'top-of-the-line' guitar from Martin ... Wonderful tonality and action. A pleasure to play and an honor to own.

Review: Note: This review is of the Martin D15 Custom (with mahogany sides and back built for Musician's Friend by Martin ... fully warranteed and registerable) and NOT the dark mahogany D15 guitar pictured here. Mine has a satin spruce top!) After playing a ...

Pros: Resonates like a beast, natural looks, Martin quality, affordable

Cons: Only available at Musiciansfriend.com - can you say monopoly?

The Bottom Line: Probably the best bang for the buck right now, especially if you're looking for Martin quality. The sound should warrant a significatly heftier price tag.

Review: This is a review of the spruce top with mahogony back and sides version of the D-15 sold only on musiciansfriend.com. The guitar is awesome, and the claims that the sound only gets better with age is true. In fact even the times when it's been ...

Pros: GREAT GUITAR-GREAT PRICE! SEEK THESE OUT AND PLAY THEM!!!

Cons: NOT ALL ARE GREAT SOUNDING-SOME BETTER THAN OTHERS

The Bottom Line: FIND AND PLAY AS MANY AS YOU CAN, AND IF THE SOUND SPEAKS TO YOUR HEART, GIVE IT A GOOD HOME!

Review: THIS IS THE SECOND EXCEPTIONAL GUITAR/VALUE I HAVE FOUND IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THE FIRST WAS THE TACOMA DM18-SEE MY REVIEW. THIS MARTIN IS A GREAT GUITAR, AGAIN AT A REASONABLE PRICE FOR A SOLID WOOD GUITAR. SINCE THESE HAVE A MAHOGANY TOP INSTEAD OF...

Pros: light weight,beautiful warm tones,affordable

Cons: none I can think of

The Bottom Line: This guitar is wonderful. If you are looking for the right full rich tones for the right price this is it!!!

Review: This guitar is a great buy for the price. The action is low and it produces a warm, full, rich tone. The neck is solid and the body is lightweight. The front of the guitar has a mahogany top. This helps produce that warmer tone. The neck did not have ...

Pros: It has nice action and has very nice sound and price

Cons: It doesn't have as much of a bass sound as some other Martin's

The Bottom Line: This is the best guitar out there in its price range and looks and sounds the best of any I know of.

Review: The Martin D - 15 is an amazing guitar. I first played it at a guitar center in Paramus and I completely fell in love with not only its looks, but also its sound. My first acoustic was an acoustic electric combo and believe me it sounded great and...

Pros: Great for fingerpicking, well rounded sound, light, and dependable. Beautiful.

Cons: Could be just a tad louder.

Review: I walked into the guitar shop with one thing in mind: Get a normal looking acoustic with onboard electronics. It wasnt long before i was looking at Ibanez's and Alvarez's. They were so so, but a little to dull for my taste. My uncle then picked up this ...

Pros: Quality, price, hardshell case

Cons: Playability not as comfortable as a Gibson, Good for smaller hands, Dark sound

The Bottom Line: The D-15 is the entry level Martin, you get the quality you'd expect but the sound is a little mid range. For smaller hands it is a good playing instrument.

Review: Martin D-15 I’ve been chronicling my search for a companion guitar for my veteran acoustic Alvarez-Yairi Super Deluxe Dreadnought as I got frustrated retuning the A-Y to try to get better in the Delta Blues idiom with slide. Usually you use open ...

Pros: none; it's a basic solid wood dreadnought that has no deficiencies nor any proficiencies.

Cons: none; it's a basic solid wood dreadnought that has no deficiencies nor any proficiencies.

The Bottom Line: In its price range, I think this is the best guitar. Compared with pricier guitars, its not. But thats not a fair comparison now is it?

Review: Having began playing less than a year ago, and having law school looking me in the face less than a year away, I needed a nice-sounding acoustic guitar that would discourage me from quitting, especially in that critical time (i've been told) from when ...

Pros: Affordable, solid mahogany dreadnaught with a pleasantly different appearance from the crowd.

Cons: Interior finish not as good as I would expect from a manufacturer of this reputation.

The Bottom Line: This is a good entry level Martin. A lot of guitar for the money. As a take-along wherever, relatively inexpensive Martin Dreadnaught, give this one a look

Review: I recently bought another guitar, my fifth, and find myself sufficiently impressed with it as to want to share my thoughts with my fellow Epinions readers.

When I went looking for a guitar, I was not sure exactly what to buy. I had always...
