The Mitchell Motion D150 Dreadnought acoustic guitar delivers the standout tone, seamless playability and refined craftsmanship you'd typically expect from a high-end instrument—all at a price within reach of the everyday player. Built with premium tonewoods and thoughtful design details, it’s an instrument that feels just as welcoming to a beginner as it does to a seasoned musician. The D150’s spruce top and sapele back and sides create a classic tonal blend of clarity and warmth, while forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection. Add in Mitchell’s Comfort-Fit neck profile, durable hardware and a striking gloss finish, and you get a guitar that’s built for everyday inspiration and long-term enjoyment.
Classic Spruce and Sapele Pairing for Rich, Balanced Tone
At the heart of the D150 is its timeless tonewood pairing. The solid spruce top provides bright articulation and dynamic range, making chords ring clearly and single-note lines cut through with definition. The sapele back and sides add warmth and a focused midrange, balancing out the top-end sparkle with a pleasing, rounded body. The classic dreadnought body shape amplifies these tonal qualities with bold projection, ensuring the D150 can easily fill a room whether you’re practicing, jamming with friends or stepping onstage. It’s a time-tested recipe that rewards strummers and fingerpickers alike with balanced, expressive sound.
Forward-Shifted X-Bracing for Enhanced Resonance
Unlike many guitars in its class, the D150 features forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing—a design element usually reserved for more premium instruments. By moving the bracing pattern closer to the soundhole and carefully scalloping it for flexibility, Mitchell allows the spruce top to vibrate more freely. The result is enhanced bass response, stronger projection and a livelier, more open sound that feels inspiring to play. Whether you’re laying down big, percussive strums or exploring delicate fingerpicking, the D150 responds with tonal depth and character that goes well beyond expectations at this price point.
Comfort-Fit Okoume Neck and Smooth HPL Fingerboard
A great guitar begins with a neck that feels comfortable from the very first note. The D150’s okoume neck is shaped to Mitchell’s Comfort-Fit C profile, designed to sit naturally in the hand for hours of relaxed play. Its satin urethane finish reduces friction, helping your hand glide smoothly along the fingerboard. Paired with a durable HPL fingerboard and offset pearloid dot inlays, the neck offers both easy playability and eye-catching detail. With a full 25" scale length and 20 frets, players have the range and feel of a professional instrument in an approachable, everyday design.
Durable Mitchell Hardware for Reliable Performance
The Mitchell Motion D150 is equipped with hardware that makes everyday playing hassle-free. Sealed chrome tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio deliver precise, stable tuning, so your sound stays consistent from practice to performance. A purpleheart bridge with a compensated synthetic bone saddle enhances both sustain and intonation, while the synthetic bone nut and black bridge pins add durability. The high-gloss finish protects the body and elevates its visual appeal, complemented by Mitchell’s updated headstock, pickguard and rosette design. Together, these details give the D150 a look and feel that’s both modern and timeless.
A Timeless Dreadnought That Balances Value and Quality
The Mitchell Motion D150 Dreadnought acoustic guitar is proof that great craftsmanship and standout tone don’t have to come with a steep price tag. With its premium tonewoods, forward-thinking design and player-friendly appointments, it’s a guitar that inspires confidence in beginners while offering the premium sound and feel to satisfy more experienced players. From your first practice session to your hundredth performance, the D150 is ready to be the dependable, great-sounding companion that keeps you motivated to play every day.
