From Our Research Team:

This Affordable Dreadnought is All Martin!

Some guitars just make you want to keep picking them up and playing them. Here's an amazingly affordable Martin that does just that! Sure, the DX1KAE may be a great find just because it gives you a real solid-topped dreadnought at a great price. But, it also gives you that unmistakable Martin tonality and feel you just won't find anywhere else. You get a solid spruce top, a durable (and beautiful) koa-patterned HPL back and sides, and a low-oval neck profile that makes the DX1KAE easy to play. Plus, this beauty comes complete with great-sounding onboard Fishman electronics!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
