The Martin DC‐13E Modern brings together classic dreadnought power and contemporary design in a stage‐ready acoustic‐electric guitar. Built with a solid spruce top and koa fine veneer back and sides, this cutaway dreadnought produces clear, balanced tones with brilliant highs and impressive sustain. The scalloped X‐bracing enhances volume and responsiveness, while the cutaway body design provides comfortable access to the upper register for lead work and extended chord voicings.
Playability is at the forefront with the Performing Artist neck profile featuring a high‐performance taper that suits both rhythm and lead playing styles. The 25.4" scale length and 1 ¾" nut width offer a familiar feel, complemented by an ebony fingerboard adorned with diamond‐and‐square inlays. Modern appointments include Ratio� skeletonized open gear tuners for precise tuning stability, white binding, and a sleek black gloss finish on the spruce top with cherry‐stained koa veneer back and sides.
The onboard Martin E1 electronics system with built‐in tuner makes this guitar ready for any performance situation, from intimate acoustic sets to full band arrangements. Available in both right and left‐handed configurations, this Road Series model represents exceptional value for working musicians.
