Martin DC-1E
$1,499.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Tone is warm and rich, overall satisfying sound. Easy to work with, good overall neck design. Has a good feel, well balanced and comfortable.
The Cons:Ships with fairly light strings that likely will need replacing. Sustain is fairly weak, notes fail to swell naturally. Build quality is fairly low, neck not strongly bonded.
The Martin DC-1E is a six-string acoustic/electric guitar made from standard yet professional material used to create a clear and loud sound. With a 14-fret body style, the acoustic guitar has a Solid Sitka Spruce top, Rust Stratabond neck and an Indian Rosewood Pattern HPL headplate that creates a comfortable feel and look.

It also has back and sides made out of Solid Sapele and a fingerboard made with Solid Morado. Since it can be used electrically the model uses a Fishman Presys Plus sound system. Part of the Martin 1 Series, the guitar is a traditional model based off others from earlier decades.

#martin_dc_1e Product info needs one correction. The fingerboard is made of solid Morado aka Pau Ferro. It has a closed grain and feels smoother than rosewood, and is also more stable under heat and humidity changes when compared with ebony.
