Least expensive solid (no HPL) body Martin?

It needs more cowbell!
Which Martin model is the least expensive with a solid body? I'm assuming that HPL is their version of presswood...

I'm thought it might be the D-15, but I'm not sure.
 
Probably one of the 15 style, but it might be the D1 or the DM. The 15 style guitars are all solid wood though, which is a definite plus.

The HPL guitars are basically Formica, and they sound like ass.

Just a side note...

The Martin Cowboy guitars are made of some kind of synthedic material, yet I found them to be very nice playing guitars. They have their own very unique sound to them which is just perfect for that simple campfire strum. Quite fitting isn't it.
 
the "road series", DM, DCME, 000M, are all solid tops, with laminated mahogany back and sides. No HPL here.

the "1" series, D-1, DC-1E, 000-1, B-1 (bass), are solid tops and backs, with laminated mahogany sides on mahogany models, and solid tops and laminated back and sides on rosewood models.

the "15/17" series are all solid woods.

the road and 1 series....1000.00-1650.00

the 15/17 series...1030.00-1730.00

the "16" series is also all solid woods...@1330.00-2650.00

These round-offs are suggested retail.
