Martin D-12E Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Guitar
Martin D-12E Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Guitar
Considered one of the best acoustic guitar manufactures in the world, steeped in history and tradition, this North American guitar builder produces some of the best sounding acoustic guitars you can play. Using the best quality woods and traditional building methods, Martin Guitar Company produce guitars you want to own and play.
The most copied guitar design ever is not the Strat or the Les Paul... it is, of course, the Dreadnought! When Martin released the first Dread way back in 1916, it was not an immediate success but by the 1930s guitarists couldn't get enough of it. Today it remains the most popular acoustic for all genres, and the D-12E is an excellent addition to the stable.
Key to the Dreadnought's success is the balanced frequency response and massive headroom the large body shape provides. The D-12E features a solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X bracing that accentuates these properties giving it a powerful acoustic voice ideal for any occasion. Sapele is an African hardwood closely related to mahogany in sound and appearance but is harvested sustainably making it a perfect choice for the back and sides of the D-12E.
Sustainability is also taken into consideration with the use of Richlite for the fretboard and bridge. This man-made material is a fantastic alternative to ebony, providing a sleek look and a luxury feel while also being totally stable. The neck itself features Martin's Performing Artist profile and High-Performance taper for total comfort along its entire length, and the hand-rubbed finish reduces stickiness for fast, effortless glide.
Ensuring you look as good as you sound, the D-12E incorporates a gloss finish and a unique combination of Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and Style 18 purfling on the back. Vintage-style open-gear tuners and Fishman MX-T electronics, including a tuner built into the soundhole, make this a guitar you can depend on no matter where the music takes you.
