Product Description

You've played other dreadnought guitars before but you haven't played a true dreadnought until you've played with the Martin DCE. Built from sustainable wood, specifically solid sitka spruce and poplar, which is fashioned into an immaculately shaped dreadnought body. This dreadnought shape provides smooth and easy access to all the reaches of the fretboard. The built-in Fishman Aura Pro systems allows you to leave your acoustic mics at home or better yet forget about them all together. The Aura Pro system uses a condenser mic which provides studio grade sound wherever you connect into.

The real star of this guitar is the quality that sustainable wood provides to the guitar. Sustainable wood is planted and harvested by ethical means as not to promote erosion and sustain the ecosystem as it is in it's natural environment. It's no surprise one of the original proponents and users of a DCE is Trey Anastasio of Phish and other environmentally conscious musicians.
