DISC Martin DX1AE Electro Acoustic

Full Description

Warmth and brightness in tone in equal measure

Fitted with a stunning blend of premium tonewoods, the DX1AE will provide you with a gorgeous, wide-reaching tonal palette that can suit any style. A sitka spruce top brings sharpness in tone and a superb dynamic range. It'll accommodate anything from gentle fingerpicking to heavy strumming, and will deliver your high-end and mid-range notes with beautiful, natural sound. High performance laminate wood used for the body's back and sides brings depth and fullness to the table, meaning you can also deliver remarkably clear bass tones. The DX1AE provides you with all the tools you need to sound brilliant at any pitch.

Crystal-clear amplified sound

An electronic system that retains your natural acoustic warmth and resonance. The Martin DX1AE comes fitted with a superb Fishman Sonitone preamp that delivers everything you play with industry-leading clarity.

Many electro acoustic pickup systems fail to provide authentic acoustic sound when playing at high volume. This is not a problem you'll ever have with the DX1AE. The Sonitone's active electronic pickup system is designed to communicate your guitar's exact voice at high output. This makes the guitar superb for live performance in larger venues. It's an instrument that'll never make you sacrifice warmth or fidelity.

Enhanced playability

Your smoothest playing action yet. Martin have fitted the DX1AE with a High Performance Taper neck to give you a magnificent playing experience. The changing width of the neck as your hand moves along it makes playing complicated chords easier. Your playing accuracy will be improved, and you'll comfortably be able to transition from chord to chord and note to note without difficulty.

The sleekness of the rust birch laminate used for the neck adds an extra element of playability, helping you to play at faster tempos. Plus, a hand-rubbed finish makes the neck profile even more comfortable when it sits in the palm of your hand. It's all of these expertly-designed features that give the DX1AE the perfectly-tailored acoustic guitar neck.
