A Real Martin Dreadnought Guitar at an Entry-Level Price! Martin makes some of the finest acoustic guitars in the world, but that doesn't mean they're exclusively for high-end buyers. The DX1K gives entry-level and beginner guitarists Martin quality and craftsmanship while utilizing modern materials to maintain an affordable price. Martin DX1K Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar at a Glance: Classic Martin dreadnought size for full sound Easy-playing neck with ebony fingerboard Ebony bridge and chrome tuning machines Classic Martin dreadnought size for full sound Martin's dreadnought guitars are legendary for their rich, full tone and outstanding projection. The DX1K brings this tradition to a new level of affordability. The top of an acoustic guitar plays a critical part. The more it vibrates, the more resonance it adds to the tone. The DX1K top is based on Martin's famous X Series dreadnought design with a solid sitka spruce top and crossbracing for maximum projection. The DX1K's back and sides are constructed of Martin's specially formulated Hawaiian koa high-pressure laminate for the ideal combination of structural strength, sound quality, and economy. Easy-playing neck with ebony fingerboard The Martin DX1K features a mortise-and-tenon set neck that adds more vibrations with rich harmonics - for unique Martin punch and pleasure. The DX1K neck is made of Martin-exclusive Stratabond, a long-lasting, easy-playing material that offers the feel and the rigidity of a premium hard wood. The solid striped ebony fingerboard with side position inlays completes the DX1K's easy-playing style. In fact, Martin players often say that their Martins sound and feel as great on the seventh fret as they do on the first - and sound even better in the seventh year than they do the first! Ebony bridge and chrome tuning machines Every element of the DX1K was chosen for quality tone and exceptional performance. The DX1K bridge is crafted of striped ebony and supports a compensated white tusq saddle for better intonation. The DX1K also employs Martin chrome-plated tuning machines that make it easy to get in tune and stay in tune! You don't have to settle for a lesser guitar just because you have a limited budget. With the Martin DX1K you get Martin quality and fine, natural tone without paying a premium price!

Customer Reviews  Martin DX1K   by K. Preece from Salt Lake City, UT, December 31, 2007 Music Background:  Musician “I never understood the reason behind a Martin guitar being so expensive. Then I finally had the chance to play one. The sound was exactly what I had in mind when I pictured my ideal acoustic! A Martin under $600 interested me, of course. It arrived at my house, I tuned it, and played. This guitar can project like no other. It sounds huge!!! The treble isn't irritating or...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review More 6-String Acoustic Guitars from Martin: · Martin Steel String Backpacker · Martin HD28 Sweetwater Edition · Martin LX1 Little Martin · Martin LX Black Little Martin · Martin Classical Backpacker · Martin LXM Little Martin · Martin D-15 · Martin LXME Little Martin · Martin D-16 · Martin 000-28 Limited Edition View All Products from Martin  Tell a Friend About the DX1K!  Print This Page
