Mortise/tenon neck joint Enhanced stability, sustain and strength
Richlite fretboard Focused tone with excellent playability

The Martin DRS1 acoustic guitar marks the return of Martin's Road Series, which was originally introduced in 2001. The DRS1 is designed for working and traveling guitarists on a modest budget who require their instrument to be durable without giving up the quality of its sound. The top, back and sides are crafted of solid sapele and braced for resonance and projection. The Martin DRS1 neck is built with multilaminate Stratabond for extra rigidity and durability, and the belly bridge and fingerboard are made of Richlite that achieves a similar look to ebony. The Martin DSR1 model comes equipped with the Fishman Sonitone sound reinforcement system.

Hands down this is the best acoustic guitar I have played for the money.

The sound quality is out standing right out of the box. A quick tune and I was playing better than I have in years. I looked at my wife and said "So, this is what a quality acoustic guitar sounds like".
