MARTIN
ACOUSTIC: 15 SERIES
Martin's 15 Series feature all solid mahogany or solid sapele top, back, and sides. Because of the lower price of mahogany wood, Martin offers these guitars as a middle-level option. Other features of the 15 Series include no body, fingerboard, or headstock bindings and A-frame bracing. The first 15 Series guitar was the D-15 and it was introduced in 1997. Several other models popped up during the late 1990s and early 2000s including jumbos, orchestras, 00s, and 000s, and the 15 Series continues to be a strong line in Martin's catalog.
