Martin Prototype D-15a Dreadnought #787399 – One-of-One All Solid Ash Guitar – Nazareth, PA – Rare Factory Prototype w/ Martin Hard Case

Description:

Offered for sale is an exceptionally rare and unique C.F. Martin D-15a prototype dreadnought bearing serial number 787399, built in the Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

This Rare Martin is Priced $1995.00... Reasonable offers will be considered.

According to information provided directly by Martin, this guitar was constructed as a one-of-one prototype and was never released as a production model. What makes this instrument especially fascinating is its all-solid Ash construction, including:

• Solid Ash Top
• Solid Ash Back
• Solid Ash Sides
• Solid Ash Neck
• Ebony Fingerboard
• Ebony Bridge
• Original Martin Nazareth Factory Construction
• Serial Number 787399
• Includes Martin Hard Shell Case

Martin has long experimented with alternative tonewoods and prototype designs, but examples such as this rarely become available to the public. The result is a visually striking instrument with beautiful blonde Ash grain throughout the entire guitar.

Tonally, this guitar offers a unique voice that differs from traditional Mahogany or Rosewood Martins. Notes are clear, articulate, and exceptionally well defined, with strong projection, excellent string separation, and a fast, responsive attack.

Condition:

This guitar is in excellent vintage condition although I posted it in very good condition to be conservative. This guitar appears to have been well cared for throughout its life.

Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Why This Guitar Is Special:

Finding a Martin prototype is uncommon.

Finding a Nazareth-built Martin prototype constructed entirely from solid Ash is extraordinarily rare.

For the Martin collector, wood enthusiast, or player seeking something truly unique, this instrument represents an opportunity to own a piece of Martin’s experimental history that simply cannot be duplicated.
