The Martin DC-13E Modern pairs contemporary design elements with a full-scale performance voice, offering players a sleek cutaway dreadnought built for balance, clarity, and projection. Its solid spruce top and koa fine veneer back and sides deliver a clear, shimmering tone supported by long, even sustain, while scalloped X-bracing enhances responsiveness across the dynamic range. The cutaway provides easy access to upper frets, making it well-suited for players who move fluidly between rhythm and lead work.
A Performing Artist neck with a high-performance taper ensures a comfortable, familiar feel, while refined appointments like diamond-and-square fretboard inlays and ratio nickel open-gear tuners bring a modern aesthetic to a classic foundation. Outfitted with Martin’s E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, the DC-13E Modern is stage-ready and includes a softshell case for reliable protection.
