Few guitar makers carry a legacy as rich as Martin's. With the DCX1E, Martin offers the classic tenets of a dreadnought body shape with mahogany construction. At the same time, the innovative use of new materials and the inclusion of a Fishman Presys Plus electronic system keeps this guitar firmly focused on the future. Combined, the DCX1E offers the best of old and new at one outstanding price.

Trustworthy Construction

The Martin DCX1E is constructed from high-pressure laminate wood back and sides that perfectly complement its solid Sitka spruce top. Solid wood construction lets the DCX1E age and mature in sound as you play it. High-pressure laminate wood made from wood fibers provide the same sturdy construction of solid woods but without the depletion of trees needed to harvest them. Martin doesn't cut corners and knows that professionals and amateurs both need access to guitars that will last them a lifetime. The DCX1E features a stratabond neck with a low oval shape for increased player playing comfort and a micarta fretboard for easy movement around it.

Fishman Electronics

Fishman's Presys Plus electronics round out the guitar. The Fishman Presys Plus allows you to recreate the Martin DCX1E's unplugged sound on stage without the piezo quacky-ness and filtered sound you get from lower quality acoustics. The Martin DCX1E's electronics let you dial in your own tone with built-in volume, bass and treble controls.
