1999 Martin D-15. Couple Spec Questions.
Having a chance to buy one I looked around and can only find scattered bits about the first Martin D-15's. I know obviously solid mahogany and assume from 1999 it's South American. In the pics I've seen all appear to have rosewood bridge/fingerboard. The one big question I have is most pictured have the bridge type associated with the M&T joint with slotted pin holes that follow the angle of the saddle. The one I'm interested in has a 'Standard' non slotted bridge type. Anybody know if Martin made the D-15 with both bridge types ? I tend to associate the 'Standard' bridge with Martin's better instruments.

The D-15 was built on the "New Technology" platform, and included an M/T neck and the new bridge design. I have not seen one from that period built any differently. When they changed this model to the Simple Dovetail in 2012, they also changed the bridge to a more traditional design. Is it possible that the bridge has been recently replaced?

Thanks Todd. I thought the same, though it doesn't appear to be. I'm trying to get some more info from the owner.

I'd have gotten more response if I'd ask 'Do you like pink guitars'
