The dreadnought and its namesake

The exquisite 12-fret dreadnought design of Martin’s LE-HMSD 2015 is a throwback to the early 1900s. Originally requested by and made for Ditson stores, the dreadnought body shape soon became a worldwide standard. The large body shape was later given the name of the largest battleships of the British Navy – the Dreadnought. The limited-edition Martin LE-HMSD 2015 guitar has a printed graphic of an HMS Dreadnought on the top to pay respect to its namesake.

Carefully-selected tonewood combination for phenomenal tone

This limited-edition Martin LE-HMSD 2015 acoustic guitar is built from highly-prized tonewoods. Full of overtones and depth, you’ll love the rich, powerful sound of this LE-HMSD’s solid mahogany back and sides. On top of that, this premium guitar is topped with solid Sitka spruce, adding crisp and clear overtones to an already exquisite tone. Take it from the City Music crew – you’ll fall in love with this guitar after a single strum!

Vintage Tone System (VTS) for aged appearance and tonality

Martin’s unique torrefaction process, called Vintage Tone System (VTS), allows their guitar builders to age the tops and bracing of their instruments to specific time periods, bringing out the character that an instrument from that year would likely possess. On top of that, Martin’s Vintage Gloss Finish (which is applied by hand) also adds the warm glow appearance that you’d expect from a vintage acoustic guitar. In short, Martin’s VTS provides you with the historic tones and visual aesthetics that were previously reserved for vintage instruments.
