jonnybucklandhasnicehats Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 You know the Martin acoustics that Chris and Jonny used on the A Rush of Blood to the Head tour? Well they don't seem to use them as much anymore except on Don't Panic when Guy plays it but I was wondering if anyone knew the exact model of the Martin Acoustics. I really want to get one but am finding it difficult to find the right one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemah Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 hi i'm not totally sureabout this but this is what i found i think this is the guitar your talking about, you can see it next to the piano http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/zanelowe/interviews/coldplay/8.shtml the guitar is called either a martin DC15E or DC17E acoustic guitar heres some links with some technical info http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/acoustic/martin/DC17E.htm http://www.music123.com/Martin-DC15E-i52607.music the official martin guitar site is here http://www.martinguitar.com/ i read somewhere ages ago that the guitar isn't made anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapone Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 If you want to buy a martin, then this isn't the one to buy. Chris and Jonny only use these because they are durable but get that Martin sound. If you want a Martin, go for something like this. I just brought this one and it sounds amazing http://www.zzounds.com/item--MATDC16GTEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemah Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 very nice guitar, would love one but they're so expensive :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glking Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 ive got the dcme http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/pImages/DCME_f.jpg its probably more like the "durable but still with that martin sound" you were talking about. ive had it for over 3 years now, and i love it. it's all about what you like really. i'm sure chris and jonny's have upgraded electronics. now they use the gibsons though. seems like they improve with each record.

Octakon Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The Martin Gutars used during the AROBTTH tour was the 000c-15e. As far as I know, this guitar is out of production now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
