Updated Slope Shoulder Dreadnought from Martin
The all-mahogany DSS-15M dreadnought in the incredibly popular Martin StreetMaster series now comes in a slope shoulder design, making it even more comfortable than before. This beautifully designed D-14 style acoustic also features Sitka spruce scalloped X-bracing for incredible tone support and durability. In addition, a mahogany neck with katalox fingerboard offers wonderful response, playability, and feel. City Music guitarists love the DSS-15M StreetMaster for its incredible design and tone.
Solid mahogany tonewood delivers rich tonal complexity
There’s a solid reason that singer/songwriters swear by all-mahogany acoustic guitars such as the Martin DSS-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 DSS-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 DSS-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 — common in the 1930’s — or other instruments in an ensemble. The dreadnought body style also gives you well-balanced tone, making this DSS-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, the slope shoulder design of the Martin DSS-15M StreetMaster gives you hours of comfortable play. 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 with stunning abalone diamonds and square short pattern inlay ensure a playing experience that few guitars can offer.
