Plug in the built-in Martin E-1 electronics to amplify the DX1's balanced tone. With included gig bag, the Martin DX1E lets you take the iconic dreadnought sound anywhere your music leads.

Classic Dreadnought Body Produces Full, Balanced Tone

The DX1E dreadnought carries on Martin's legendary acoustic legacy. Its wide lower bout and sloped shoulders produce the balanced bass, strong mids and crisp treble the dreadnought shape is known for. Flatpicking or fingerpicking, the DX1E projects with clarity and dynamics. And its large size gives this acoustic-electric greater volume and sustain than smaller-bodied guitars. Let the DX1E's vintage dreadnought voice shine through on anything from folk to rock.

High-Pressure Laminate Construction for Consistent Tone

While it has the look of exotic tonewoods, the DX1E's high-pressure laminate (HPL) build provides added resilience. Its layered top, back and sides make the guitar more rigid for improved volume and sustain compared to all-solid wood. The DX1E is also less prone to cracking and warping. Rely on its consistent tone whether recording far from home or gigging locally.

Performing Artist Neck Profile Offers Comfort

Designed with hours on stage in mind, the DX1E's Performing Artist neck has a slim taper for comfort. Its smoother feel enhances complex chording and fast runs during extended practice or gigs. The flatter 16" radius offers low, even action from nut to soundhole. Combined with a thin Richlite fingerboard, the DX1E's neck lets your fretting hand move freely. The 1-3/4" nut also provides ample room between strings for accurate fingering.

Onboard Martin E-1 Electronics With Chromatic Tuner

Simply plug the DX1E's built-in Martin E-1 electronics into your acoustic amp or recording interface for amplified acoustic tone. The E-1 system captures your instrument's natural sound with an undersaddle piezo pickup and preamp with volume and tone control. Tune up fast with the integrated chromatic tuner. The DX1E lets you easily take your acoustic tone from coffee shop to concert hall.

With its comfortable neck, balanced dreadnought voice and onboard electronics, the Martin DX1E acoustic-electric is built to perform. The included gig bag provides safe transport to gigs near and far. Order the Martin DX1E and electrify your acoustic playing today.
