Review: Martin Guitar D-15M Streetmaster and 000-15M Streetmaster
Made for working musicians, Martin Guitar introduces two new models in their solid mahogany 15 Series line with the D-15M StreetMaster and 000-15M StreetMaster.
The StreetMaster models are built to the same specifications as the 000-15M and D-15M models but Martin adds a beautifully distressed satin finish. The StreetMaster has the look and feel of a well-worn instrument with a lifetime warranty and Martin’s superb playability. The 15 Series StreetMaster models come with a gig bag.

Paul Riario has been the tech/gear editor and online video presence for Guitar World for over 25 years. Paul is one of the few gear editors who has actually played and owned nearly all the original gear that most guitarists wax poetically about, and has survived this long by knowing every useless musical tidbit of classic rock, new wave, hair metal, grunge, and alternative genres. When Paul is not riding his road bike at any given moment, he remains a working musician, playing in two bands called SuperTrans Am and Radio Nashville.
