Incredible Value in a Solid-Wood Martin Dreadnought
With its gorgeous Sitka spruce top, siris back and sides, and Fishman electronics, the D-13E is an ideal entrée into the world of solid-wood Martin dreadnought acoustic-electric guitars. Graced with stunning mother-of-pearl pattern fingerboard and rosette inlays, a multi-stripe rosette border, and white binding, the D-13E demonstrates classic Martin understated elegance. In addition to quality solid tonewoods, this guitar features a smooth-as-glass Richlite fingerboard and bridge and a hand-rubbed neck finish. Like other Road Series models, it also sports Fishman MX-T electronics with an onboard soundhole tuner that auto-mutes the output so you can tune up any time without using a pedal. We get our hands on countless high-end guitars, and we're mightily impressed with the Martin D-13E — it's a lot of guitar for the money.
