About this listing
Here for sale we have a Martin DCX1E electro-acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. This guitar features a mortise & tenon set-neck construction comprising a Solid Spruce top, High Pressure Laminate (HPL) in Mahogany Pattern back and sides, Rust Stratabond neck and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard with matching bridge. A Corian saddle and nut are fitted, along with a set of Chrome Martin sealed tuning machines. An undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to a shoulder-mounted Fishman 'Classic 4' preamp with slider controls for master volume, brilliance and 3-band EQ. The Rust Stratabond neck plays very well, with the 'High-Performance Taper' profile filling the hand nicely for a confidence-inspiring grip when chord playing, yet remaining slim enough for articulate melodic lines. The Stratabond neck comprises thin strips of mahogany, laminated together to form a supremely strong and warp-resistant neck. The Rosewood of the fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 16" radius provides a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register, suitable for a wide range of styles and techniques. The acoustic voice of the Martin DCX1E is bright and well balanced. The dreadnought body design delivers plenty of volume and a strong bass response, whilst the HPL back and sides work together with the Solid Spruce top to produce a bright tone that works just as well as a solo instrument as it does as part of an ensemble. The on-board Fishman undersaddle piezo and 'Classic 4' preamp provide the versatility required for live and recording situations, meaning this guitar is ready for wherever the gig takes you.
