The Martin DC-13E Modern is built for the player who craves the iconic, room-filling sound of a Martin Dreadnought but refuses to be held back by traditional design. As part of the Road Series, this guitar is a "professional workhorse," combining premium aesthetics with stage-ready features that make it feel as fast and responsive as a modern electric.

While the "D" stands for the legendary Dreadnought shape, the "C" (Cutaway) and the "Modern" designation signify a guitar that has been optimized for the contemporary performer.

• The Body: A classic D-14 Fret Cutaway. You get the deep bass and massive projection that made the Dreadnought famous, paired with a Venetian cutaway that grants you full access to the upper frets for lead work and complex voicing.
• The Tonewoods: Featuring a Solid Sitka Spruce top for immediate punch and clarity, paired with Koa Fine Veneer back and sides. This combination delivers a balanced, shimmering high-end and long, even sustain that sounds beautiful both unplugged and through a PA.
• Scalloped X-Bracing: Every DC-13E Modern features hand-scalloped bracing. This lightens the internal structure, allowing the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in more volume and a more dynamic response to your playing style.

• Performing Artist Neck: Designed for comfort and speed, the neck features a high-performance taper. It starts with a comfortable width at the nut and remains slim as you move up the board, making it ideal for everything from thumb-over-the-neck blues to intricate fingerstyle.
• Premium Appointments: The "Modern" look is capped off with white binding, stunning diamond-and-square long inlays, and Ratio® nickel open-gear tuners with skeletonized butterbean knobs for precision tuning and a boutique aesthetic.
• Martin E1 Electronics: Forget about external tuners and bulky preamps. The integrated E1 system is transparent and reliable, featuring a discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone control, plus a built-in tuner that mutes your signal for silent tuning on stage
