The bold sound of a koa body and Sitka spruce top paired with cutting-edge Fishman electronics.
The Martin DX1KAE Acoustic-Electric Guitar is built on Martin's D-14 platform: a dreadnought body for big, round sound. Pairing the Sitka spruce top with koa-pattern HPL back and sides, the DX1KAE guitar belts out rich clarity with plenty of projection. A mortise-and-tennon neck joint ensures solid construction with optimal resonant tone, while eliminating drop-off of finer dynamics. Martin has always made prudent use of natural resources, especially rare or endangered tonewoods. At the same time, it's committed to building guitars of superior tone and playability that are affordable to every guitarist. The Martin DX1KAE acoustic-electric guitar from the X Series more than meets both of these criteria. Martin guitars from the X Series feature patented high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, patented mortise and tenon neck construction, and professionally installed Fishman electronics. The result: great-sounding, great-playing guitars, that are environmentally friendly, and priced to fly out the door. This is one of Martin's best values ever. The X Series affirms Martin's commitment to providing an affordable and competitive option to players dedicated to live performance.The Martin guitar's stratabond neck is a multilayered wood creation, bonding layers of wood under extremely high pressure. The material is then carved and finished in a conventional manner. The end result is a very strong neck that provides definition and articulate sustain from note to note. The modified low oval neck shape, 25.4" scale, 1-11/16" nut width, and 16" radius provide comfort and dexterity when performing intricate movements and progressions along the black Richlite fretboard.This Martin X Series guitar features proven Sonicore pick-up technology with the Fishman Sonitone system featuring "easy access" volume and tone controls conveniently and strategically located just inside the sound hole.Dressed in a satin finish and featuring chrome tuners, chrome hardware, this guitar has the look and sound of a highly collectible Martin acoustic guitar, but goes for a price that anyone can afford. Embrace the dream of owning your very own Martin guitar, at a price that is too good to pass up.The Martin DX1KAE guitar arrives stage ready—just plug them in and play.
