Powerful Projection and Focus with a Beautiful Distressed Finish
This Martin D-15M StreetMaster 6-string acoustic guitar delivers big-box amplitude, focus, and balanced tone with broken-in looks and feel, thanks to its dreadnought body style and distressed finish. Built from solid mahogany and given a street-worn look in a tip of the hat to the working musician, this great-sounding acoustic guitar imparts warm, lively characteristics to your playing, along with an amazingly rich tonal complexity. The D-15M has always been popular here at Sweetwater due to its versatility, playability, and real-world price tag, so we're confident you'll fall in love with this Martin D-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar - right from the first strum!
Solid mahogany tonewood delivers rich tonal complexity
There's a good reason that singer/songwriters swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as this Martin D-15M. The naturally warm and lively tone of mahogany is extremely forgiving and also provides a rich tonal complexity that's somewhat reminiscent of an electric sound. At the same time, the deep timbre of this D-15M StreetMaster leaves plenty of sonic space for a vocal, acting as an excellent source of accompaniment.
Classic dreadnought body style
The rich tone and loud volume of the D-15M StreetMaster come partly from its ever-popular dreadnought body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus, perfect for pairing with a banjo (which was a common combination in Martin's golden era, the 1930s) or other instruments in an ensemble. The dreadnought body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this D-15M an excellent choice for recording in the studio.
Smooth low-oval neck profile and Plek'd frets
Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin D-15M StreetMaster acoustic guitar. It features one of Martin's amazingly playable modified low-oval neck profiles, which gives you enough girth to hold onto while still allowing you to play faster lines unhindered. It has a standard neck taper, and the Plek'd frets and smooth katalox (Mexican royal ebony) fingerboard ensure a playing experience that few guitars can offer.

Always love to watch/hear your guitar talks, Jarvis. Your voice andthe guitar sounds you produce are keeping my good mood! Thank you for that!
Rock on!
Great job dude. You have really helped me the last few days. I bought a Martin D-16E two days ago but it didn’t feel right . I couldn’t get the Yamaha FG5 that I also was looking at out of my mind. I went back today and returned the D-16E with hopes in getting the FG-5. Then I started playing this D-15M and really loved it.
I decided to come home and sleep on it. I think I’ve made up my mind. I love that Yamaha so much as it reminds me of my current (broken) guitar (Washburn D-10) that I’ve had for 17 years.
I just wanted to thank you for your great videos and your positive and honest energy.
This is a big decision for me and an important one so your help has been greatly appreciated.
I’m happy for you Ben .. enjoy your special moments
that Martin Dreadnought sound! always sounds so so good even in mahogany😍
Even in mahogany?
I love your channel... you always break down the things I feel are important, and other channels do not quite do it like you
glad the review was helpful
Hi Jarvis ! Love the Martins. Played my Martin Dred Jr . today busking at a local Farmers Market.
Hope you and family are well.
Nice review, especially liked the info on the bracing. Thanks.
Fantastic review as always. Beautiful guitar. Love your energy!
Thank you kindly!
I bought one of these guitars a few weeks ago and it is amazing ! It's my second Martin both are great guitars !
its a very good organic woody tone
Very sweet axe. On the strum with a G chord you can really feel that it's darker than a spruce.
Great video as always, Jarvis! Would love to see review/comparison of the GPC streetmaster 15ME also
Just an excellent review and recommendations
I just bought one of these brand new online, and when I hammer on the 2ed fret it has tinny metallic sound and dulls out. Then I notice the high-E string is closer to the side of the fret board than the low-E string (the strings are not centered correctly on the fretboard) and the high-E string easily slides off the side of the fretboard therefore.
I am so bummed because otherwise the guitar is great. Will be returning.
Beautiful. I bet you could get it for around 1275.00+tax here in the US. Retail is listed as 1400.00+tax but "they" always negotiate. I am so attracted by |mahogany. I was also attracted by the idea that this would be a guitar you would not feel/be scared of, playing outside. It is still a somewhat expensive Martin, can't get around that.
its not expensive at all I owned martins I paid 5700 4200 and 3600 dollars for...This is cheap!!!
@@soofitnsexy I am a retired senior and I did not get to work the last few years before retirement due to an accident in the hospital. That Martin is right around 10% of my income. I saved long and hard for my D16E, no regrets. This "cheap" vrs "expensive" thing depends on where you are standing. I wanted to add/encourage older players with hand issues. I have osteoarthritis and I worked 40 years in the auto garage, my hands are beat. My hands have adapted to the training and exercises required for guitar (I am 66)
Finally an extremely thorough review. Looking at the DSS-15m . Thank you! Just Subscribed
How do you think the DSS will compare to the D15M is this video?
Hi! Always love to watch your reviews! I got the dss-15m couple days ago and its very nice guitar, the best ive ever bought. However, i feel the string action is a bit high, did you change the string action already on this video?
Yes I change the action that’s why it sounds way better- straighten the neck and then lower the action from the saddle
As good a guitar sound at any price!
Im honestly having trouble deciding between this guitar and a Martin 0017E black smoke... I love the look of the black smoke but omg i love how deep the tone is on this guitar and just at a loss tbh.
Best advise I can give you is .. get what you like and love .. like marriage.. you pick the best partner for life
Hi Jarvis love your videos. Hey I play in d standard step whole step down I love the sound of this guitar do you think it would sound great in d standard ? Thanks and God bless
Nice chordal playing2
Please compare d15m vs d15m streetmaster
They are the same guitar Bro
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore good to hear it bro. Cuz i watch someone videos they are different.
they sounds different in this video. czcams.com/video/ESf3Ufc0Wqs/video.html
Martin really beats the shit out of Taylor when it comes down to tone.
THIS IS AMAZING
lovely piece but the price is not so lovely for a beginner hahahha
Well these are made in USA and not the Mexico ones which usually weighs much more but cheaper . Save up and buy upwards that’s what I would advise you
Some X series Martins sound great. The Road series also sound good.
Bob Guerrero true
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore I wish mine was a little heavier like the one from Mexico
