Martin DX1RAE Acoustic/Electric No Case

Martin DX1RAE Acoustic/Electric Guitar No Case

The Basics

The X Series guitars are constructed with a combination of highly compressed wood fibers (high-pressure laminate, abbreviated as HPL) and traditional tonewoods. Martin has found HPL to be an extremely durable and workable material. We have crafted ways to build traditional Martin shapes with HPL that yield incredibly long-lasting, affordable guitars. Most importantly, they’ve managed to build them so they possess the “famous” Martin sound and playability found in Martin's more expensive guitars. 

Martin DX1RAE Acoustic/Electric Guitar Features

• D-14 dreadnought style body

• Solid Sitka Spruce top will get only better as it ages

• Modified Low Oval neck shape is very comfortable and allows for easy chord changes and moves up the neck

• HPL Indian Rosewood back and sides give it a rich look

The DX1RAE acoustic-electric guitar features a D-14 platform and a Dreadnought body design that produces a full, sustaining sound. The East Indian rosewood-grained laminate (HPL) back and sides give it a rich look, paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. The DX1RAE features Fishman electronics and a non-cutaway style body. The result: a great-sounding, great-playing guitar that is environmentally friendly and priced within reach of every aspiring guitarist.
