The Martin DCX1E Tawny Satinwood embodies Martin's pursuit of perfection in a gorgeous cutaway acoustic electric instrument. Following on the success of the DX1 Tawny Satinwood model introduced in January of 2007, the DCX1E Tawny Satinwood adds a cutaway and Fishman Classic 4T electronics to create an attractive, functional, stage-ready guitar. This 14-fret Venetian cutaway Dreadnought blends the attractive figured woodgrain pattern of Tawny Satinwood high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top.
The Rosette is inlaid with a unique Art Deco design, laser cut from contrasting East Indian rosewood, maple and koa. Style 45 maple hexagons are inlaid with inset koa diamonds into a rosewood fingerboard.
