Your Stage-ready Martin!

What happens when you merge the classic look and feel of a traditional Martin acoustic guitar with the convenience of today's modern acoustic-electric? You get the Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R, that's what! Like so many classic Martin dreadnoughts from years past, the Performing Artist DCPA4R is crafted using nothing but the finest tonewoods, with solid Sitka spruce for the top and solid rosewood making up the back and sides. Add to this a satin-finished neck, modern electronics, a unique neck carve, and a convenient cutaway, and you've got a guitar that's downright inspiring to play. Grab a Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R and hit the stage!

Martin DCPA4R Performing Artist Series Acoustic/Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic tonewood combination for big sound
  • Modern electronics for the modern performer
  • Comfortable and great-playing neck

Classic tonewood combination for big sound
You just can't beat the sound of solid spruce and solid genuine rosewood. For such an affordable guitar, the Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R spares no expense on its tonewoods. You'll love the crisp sound of the DCPA4R's solid East-Indian rosewood back and sides, and they look fantastic. What's more, the DCPA4R is topped with solid Sitka spruce, adding rich and mellow overtones. When you imagine what an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound like, this is it!

Modern electronics for the modern performer
Martin takes the acoustic-electric guitar on an evolutionary journey, equipping these instruments with the Fishman F1 Analog electronics system. Far more than a simple pickup system, the discreetly mounted F1 Analog system offers a convenient onboard tuner as well as volume and tone controls to help take charge of your sound. This is the Performing Artist DCPA4R, a well-balanced instrument that's great for any style of music.

Comfortable and great-playing neck
Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Performing Artist DCPA4R acoustic guitar. The DCPA4R features one of Martin's amazing Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort. You'll love the feel of the smooth satin neck finish.

Martin DCPA4R Performing Artist Series Acoustic/Electric Guitar Features:
  • Acoustic dreadnought guitar designed for today's modern performers
  • Sitka spruce and rosewood tonewoods combine for great response and sound
  • Fishman F1 Analog electronics for worry free plugged-in performance
