The Martin DC-13E Modern is a Road Series acoustic-electric that bridges contemporary style and stage-ready performance. A solid Sitka spruce top pairs with koa fine veneer back and sides for clear, balanced tone with shimmering highs and long, even sustain — a striking combination that looks as good as it sounds.
The Dreadnought cutaway body delivers bold projection and dynamic response while opening up full access to the upper frets — ideal for lead playing and melodic work. Scalloped X-bracing maximizes volume and responsiveness, and the Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper keeps playability fast and comfortable across long sessions. Eye-catching details — white binding, diamond-and-square inlays, and Ratio® skeletonized open gear tuners — bring a modern aesthetic to a classic Martin platform.
Plug in with the onboard Fishman MX-T (E1) electronics and built-in chromatic tuner for reliable stage performance. Includes a Martin softshell case.
