Martin X-Series DCX1E Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Dreadnought Guitar

The dreadnought cutaway DCX1E includes an installed Fishman Presys Plus sound reinforcement system. This system lets you connect to a mixer or recorder for the accurate, pure reproduction of your acoustic sound. Its Solid Spruce top and HPL back & sides produce lots of volume and punch. The Classic 4 Sonicore Onboard Preamp system gives you some impressive features and control over the sound, beyond the usual bass and treble. It's equipped with a Sonicore pickup and Switchjack, volume control slider, active bass, midrange, treble and brilliance slider controls, low battery LED, and easy access "pull-out" housing.

Martin Guitar has long recognized the serious nature of the earth's dwindling resources and has focused attention on alternative materials. At Martin, they're committed to making guitars that are within reach of every aspiring guitarist.

Martin's breakthrough 'X-Series' features guitars that are constructed with a combination of highly compressed wood fibers (high-pressure laminate, called HPL) and traditional tonewoods. They've found HPL to be an extremely durable and workable material. Martin has crafted ways to build traditional Martin shapes with HPL that yield incredibly long-lasting, affordable guitars. What's more, they've managed to build them so they possess the "famous" Martin sound and playability found in their more expensive guitars.
