Excellent condition and lightly used solid body mahogany Martin acoustic electric guitar. This guitar has been well cared for and minimally played. It was never stored outside of the case or hung on a wall. I am the original owner (purchased in 2000). The guitar has lived most of its life in the case and has no structural damage. I used it for open mics and casual sing alongs but it’s never been gigged hard and I rarely played it. Tuning stability is excellent, neck is straight and the action is great (2.0 mm on the low E string at the 12th fret with no buzz). The mahogany tone is warm and bright. Fishman pickup and tonal controls are high quality and well balanced. The craftsmanship on internal bracing is a work of art and the guitar is exceptionally light. Includes the original hardshell case. Pickup only.

Here is a write up from Sweetwater about the instrument:

The DC-15E is awesome! An all-mahogany guitar is a rarity, especially when the quality of the build is made to this degree. Players like Beck, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Tom Petty, and Johnny Cash have all selected the most trusted of luthier companies. Martin is still privately owned, and that translates into quality through diligence and also experience that stretches back to 1833! As a dreadnought cutaway, the DC15E touches on familiar territory with punchy mids and resonant bass, yet the sustain is phenomenal due to the style of bracing and the slim tops that Martin is noted for making. The low oval neck allows smooth and comfortable play.

Where other guitars seem sterile and pressed out on a factory line, this hand-made rarity has a unique and refreshing sound that any acoustic player would do extremely well to add to their collection. The Fishman Prefix Plus under the saddle is one of the greatest tonal controls that you can find, and it allows the player to contour the brightness to whatever they want.
