New from Martin is the DC-18E Dreadnought size guitar.
The main body of the guitar is built from Mahogany with a great Sitka spruce top, this gives it a bright, projecting tone with good sustain. The fingerboard is made of ebony that looks stunning and the neck has a High Performance taper that gives an easier playing feel up and down the neck.
Martin Quality
Martin really know guitars. Every model in their catalog deserves respect and this, somewhere near the upper middle range, is stunning example of their work. It's solid, sounds amazing and finished to perfection.
Stunning Finish
This has a vintage, clean and old fashioned look to it with a smooth finish and natural grain. The tortoiseshell style pickguard is a classic that rounds out the design nicely.
Here's what Martin have to say about this guitar
The warm tones of the genuine mahogany back and sides combined with a Sitka spruce top make this Dreadnought, acoustic-electric cutaway model truly sing. A solid black ebony fingerboard and bridge, tortoise color binding and matching pick guard adorn this model. Martin introduces the new, Fishman® Aura® VT Enhance™ electronics on this model. Aura® VT Enhance™ electronics uses the most advanced technology with discreet, soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone preserving the pure and unique acoustic tone of each model. This is a classic Martin with contemporary playability, a modern take on the classic D-18 that was the instrument of choice for Hank Williams.
