The Martin D-15M is the equal highest rated acoustic guitar under $2,000.
The all Solid Mahogany construction of the top and body has proved extremely popular. Although this guitar comes in another version, the D-15M Burst, this version is far more popular and more highly rated.
In fact we first announced the D-15M was the highest rated acoustic guitar between $1,000 and $2,000 in November 2016, and as of January 2018 it is the highest rated of all acoustic guitars under $2,000.
Artists known to play a D-15M include Chris Martin from Coldplay and Andrew Davie from Bear's Den.

Pros
Many customers report in their reviews that the Martin D-15M is the best guitar they've ever owned or played. That's high praise indeed, but not uncommon with Martin guitars in this price range. The positive reports come from both fingerpickers and strummers and from a wide range of playing styles from church musicians through to blues, country and folk guitarists. Many people who had owned more expensive Taylors and Gibsons said they felt this guitar was on par with those more costly options.
Cons
I didn't see any negative reviews from verified customers - I did see one that wasn't from a verified customer but it was primarily an anti Martin rant rather than a complaint about this guitar.
Overall
This is the best price you'll be able to get on a highly rated solid wood new Martin.
