"Awsome Guitar and Best Value for the Money"

Feature:
The wood selected gives it a nice, rich, deep tone that will improve with age.

Quality:
Very well made. A steal for the money. An all wood guitar for this price and the guitar sounds great.

Value:
Product is priced way below value. I love this guitar.

Desirability:
No frills in looks but I like the basic look so it's okay by me.

Ease of Use:
Very playable, action is fine.

Support:
Martin's support was great, though I only used it once. They were on the ball and very helpful. Solved my problem and sent me 3 sets of strings pro bono.

Overall:
I love it and I'm keeping it. Highly recommended.

"A Classic"

Feature:
A plain acoustic, built with quality and care.

Quality:
It's a martin. Great quality.

Value:
For the price, this is an excellent guitar, with better construction, sound, and quality than almost any other brand name acoustic out there. (aside from higher priced Martins or Gibsons).

Desirability:
It's a simple guitar that makes good music. For the price, it does the job better than any others out there. Also, the smell of the mahogany each time you open the case is enough to make me want it.

Sound:
Good, clear, warm, bassy sound.

Support:
Haven't dealt with Martin, as there haven't been any problems. I did have great service from samedaymusic when I needed the endpin sent to me.

Overall:
Great guitar, good price, Martin name and quality.

"try everything out there - - however, you'll likely return for this guitar - - by far, the biggest bang for the buck!!"

Feature:
the mahogony satin finish is on the delicate side - -ie sweat stains etc, but no biggy

Quality:
hey, this is a martin - - enough said!!

Value:
Again, for the money, this guitar sounds like many costing two or three times more

Desirability:
there are infinitely sexier looking guitars out there - - if you happen to be into that aspect - personally, I was looking for sound, playability and value for dollars spent.

Sound:
Within this price range - its simple - - the sound can't be beat - period. Subsequent to endless shopping, playing everything out there and in some cases two or three time more costly - the choice was easy - the d15

Support:
Support for what?? Never needed it - never antipate needing it.

Overall:
this guitar is one of my favorites in what is a 6 guitar collection

"You'll either love or hate the appearance of this guitar, but you'll love the sound quality and the price."

Feature:
Standard accessories included--hard case and extra strings.

Quality:
The fret markers could be better, otherwise, I have no complaints.

Value:
Excellent value considering the great sound quality.

Desirability:
The asethetic appeal of the mahogany top seems to cause you to either love or hate the appearance of this guitar. However, even if you hate the looks, the sound quality and the price will make you love it.

Sound:
This is clearly one the strongest aspects of this guitar...it sounds great.

Support:
I never needed to contact support.

Overall:
This is my favorite accoustic guitar ever. I'll probably never find anything better sounding on my budget.
