If you own a martin guitar manufactured before 1985 and want the neck adjusted, consult a professional technician. String action is subjective, so experiment to find the action that works for your playing style.

I don't know the complete answer, but will add what i know.

Martin d15 slotted headstock. Martin began using wings for mahogany necks only. Get a new martin d15s today! I don't like them on slotted pegheads.

Previously martin headstocks had all been slotted with tuners attached to the side mounted on a single plate for three tuners. The martin d15 s slotted headstock all mahogany acoustic dreadnought guitar is a great martin instrument and a great value for an all solid wood martin guitar. Martin acoustic guitars made after 1985 have an adjustable neck tension rod located at either the headstock or body end of the guitar.

A lot of martin guitar for the money. Everything is original, no cracks or former repairs. It has an oversized dreadnought body that is about the size of a small rowboat, but still pretty comfortable to hold and play.

Excellent condition except for headstock ding adjacent to b string tuner (see photos). For 5% off any purchase. Warm sounding with bright, clear trebles and rich midranges.

Satisfy your desire with an affordable solid wood guitar that is visually distinctive and innovative. It’s in really good condition, only a few superficial dings to the headstock and to the body. Following some date, if it didn't have wings it's most likely spanish cedar.

5 out of 5 customer rating. It has never meant “slotted headstock” nor “sloped shoulders,” despite uninformed claims to that effect. I began watching the listings in ebay and have continued over the past few months.

Of course, given martin?s focus on high end guitars, the 15 series guitars are?of very high quality and will still set you back a reasonable chunk of cash to buy one. There are 9 different guitars in the 15 series and they all share a couple of things in common but all with differences too. It features a slope shoulder dreadnaught body all wood construction 12 fret joining wood shaller tuning machines, etc.

As you can imagine, the sound is really big, too. To do these, the headstock had to be made solid, instead of slotted. Is it mahogany or sapele?

Steady as an old tree with a design that dates to the dawn of the 20th century, the martin 000 is about as venerable as a guitar gets. Martin d15s 12 fret slotted headstock dreadnought acoustic guitar solid sapele (similar to mahogany) top, back, and sides impart lustrous beauty and a perfect balance between depth and sparkle. My 1930 gibson has wings.

I've heard sapele has as great smell.
