I have played 2 of them. One was good; the other was fantatsic!!!! It is still sitting in Frailers in Runcorn UK and haunts me sometimes. i think he wants a bit too much for it since it has quite a big repair in it. I loved it though.
I have also played several of the rosewood versions and they were all very good guitars indeed. But that mahgnay / spruce custom 15 was just a great guitar. Nie dry hog tone but with plenty of sparkle in the highs. I would be very surprised if you are anything other than very pleased with this guitar. Enjoy! Pete |

I had one of these a couple years ago and I really liked it. Good Martin sound and playability. Nice low end base sound.

I have the previous version which was known as the DSM. Same as the Custom D Mahogany, with slightly different rosette and binding. Its a great guitar. My guess is you'll really like yours.

The most important thing is if you like it.
However, I think the D-16GT is about the same price. The Custom D has a prettier tortoise colored binding, and a rosewood fretboard which is a plus. However, I think the D-16 GT (black binding and pegboard fretboard) does offer the hybrid scalloped bracing and a gloss top. I am definitely NOT trying to talk you out of a Custom D. I just thought I would bring up the differences in the two. Bryant

for one of those as well but they're hard to find. They have the forward bracing in that model. Too bad Martin stopped making it..... |

I picked up one of these about six months ago and have really enjoyed it. Liked the way the spruce top brightened the tone.
