The dreadnought cutaway DCX1E includes an installed Fishman Classic 4 Sonicore sound reinforcement system. This system lets you connect to a mixer or recorder for the accurate, pure reproduction of your acoustic sound. Its Solid Spruce top and HPL back & sides produce lots of volume and punch. The Classic 4 Sonicore Onboard Preamp system gives you some impressive features and control over the sound, beyond the usual bass and treble. It's equipped with a Sonicore pickup and Switchjack, volume control slider, active bass, midrange, treble and brilliance slider controls, low battery LED, and easy access "pull-out" housing.
Martin Guitar has long recognized the serious nature of the earth's dwindling resources and has focused attention on alternative materials. At Martin, they're committed to making guitars that are within reach of every aspiring guitarist.
Martin's breakthrough 'X-Series' features guitars that are constructed with a combination of highly compressed wood fibers (high-pressure laminate, called HPL) and traditional tonewoods. They've found HPL to be an extremely durable and workable material. Martin has crafted ways to build traditional Martin shapes with HPL that yield incredibly long-lasting, affordable guitars. What's more, they've managed to build them so they possess the "famous" Martin sound and playability found in their more expensive guitars.

Martin DCX1E Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Martin - can't beat it!"
Feature:
Nice electronics, but it doesn't clutter itself up with unnecessary features. Just a pure pleasure to play and listen to.
Quality:
Seems light, but sturdy. I will be careful though, considering the unfinished top and back.
Value:
Worth more than my HD-28 (bought in 1982 for $2000)! A real steal!
Desirability:
Beautiful in its' simplicity.
Sound:
I had an HD-28 for over 20 years and this matches the sound (and even may surpass it). I feel the familiar "Martin reverberation" in my chest when I play. Simply the best.
Ease of Use:
I had a setup done to lower the action a bit and it now plays better than any other guitar I've ever held (in my 42nd year of playing).
Support:
Haven't need any
Overall:
I'm getting up there and if this lasts as long as the HD-28 did, it will be the last guitar I own!

"Good at twice the price!"
Feature:
The subtleness of this guitar are brilliant. I like the natural finish, the lack of fret markers on the fingerboard enhances rather than detracts from this. The tuners are good, although the nut could do with some lubricant added in the store setup. The pickups work well, although I'm yet to use them for a gig or jamming.
Quality:
I'd say that for the money this instrument is hard to beat. You can get better sounding and (simmilar) playing guitars, but they are far more expensive. The spruce top and HPL sides and back are terrific for this price range.
Value:
When it outshines more expensive instruments you know its good value.
Sound:
When I purchsed this guitar I played about 12 different makes and models before choosing this one. Overall this had the best sound. It even had a decent sound when compared to a Martin that was 3 times the price.
Ease of Use:
How is a quality instrument ever hard to use?
Support:
Haven't had a problem to send to the company.
Overall:
I bought this to be my main acoustic. I didn't want to fall into the trap of spending too much money to be too afraid to play my baby. So this instrument fits the bill nicely.
