General

The Martin is the American Dream of steel-string guitars! Most guitars by this brand are not cheap, and good instruments are an expensive investment in general. Fortunately, Martin offers a range of affordable guitars in their X series, such as this DX1RAE. Its sound is a result of the Sitka spruce top, which is known for producing a powerful, clear sound. The rest is made of various laminated wood types and wood materials with a rosewood pattern on the sides and back. This gives the guitar a modern look and a unique tone, with a price tag that's sure to put a smile on your face! What's more, it's equipped with a Fishman Sonitone system so you can amplify the DX1RAE for all to hear.

Martin

The legendary C.F. Martin & Company have been building top-quality string instruments since 1833. Greats like Eric Clapton, Keith Richards & John Mayer have all played instruments by Martin. Over the years, the brand has maintained very high standards in the appearance, tone and playability of their products. This family-run company has introduced many of the features that have now become standard on many steel-string acoustic guitars, including scalloped bracing and the Dreadnought body. The Martin DX1RAE is another prime example of Martin's high standards.
