Martin D15M Mahogany
Martin's 'Style 15' gitaren hebben nooit echt de aandacht gekregen die ze verdienden. Ja, ze zijn zo ongeveer de definitie van het begrip ingetogen of zelfs sober, maar ze lijken ons altijd te verrassen. Net als deze D15M.
De dreadnought-vormige volledig mahoniehouten body heeft gewoon iets dat een D28 of zelfs D18 niet heeft. Een warmte in het laag en aanwezige middentonen die een andere maar prachtige klank geeft. Je moet hem een tijdje inspelen, maar het resultaat zal je echt verbazen zodra je die uren erin stopt.Â
Een vanzelfsprekend voordeel van de bescheidenheid is het prijsverschil tussen deze Martin en haar grote broers, want al die fancy bindingen, trims en inlays maken een gitaar duurder. En wat dacht je hiervan, in essentie is deze Martin structureel gezien bijna dezelfde gitaar als een D18 of D28.
De mahoniehouten hals is geconstrueerd met een zwaluwstaartverbinding en is voorzien van een comfortabele aangepaste lage ovale vorm en een palissander toets met Diamond & Squares inleg. De kop is voorzien van een palissander kopplaat en de open gear Grover stemknoppen zorgen samen met het drop-in zadel voor uitstekende stemstabiliteit.
Dus als je op zoek bent naar een eerste Martin, vergeet dan vooral deze D15M niet, daar doe je alleen jezelf te kort mee. Wordt geleverd met Martin koffer.
Martin's 'Style 15' guitars never really got the attention they deserved. Yes, they pretty much are the definition of the term subdued or even sober, but they always seem to surprise us. Just as this D15M does.
The dreadnought-shaped all mahogany body just has something that a D28 or even D18 hasn't. A warmth in the lows and presence in the mids that gives a different but wonderful tone. You have to play her in for a while, but the sound will be so rewarding when you put those hours in.
One plain and simple advantage of the modest appereance is the cost difference between this Martin and her big brothers, because all those fancy bindings, trims and inlays make a guitar more expensive. And how about this, in its essence this Martin is structurally almost the same guitar as a D-18 or -28.
The mahogany neck is constructed via a dovetail neck joint and features a comfortable modified low oval shape and a rosewood fretboard with Diamond & Squares inlay. The headstock features a rosewood headstock overlay and the open gear Grover tuners that together with the drop-in saddle ensure tuning stability.
So if you're looking for a first Martin you'd be a fool to forget this one, because it has a whole lot going for it. It even comes with a hardshell case!
