Martin D-10E dreadnought with full acoustic tone
If you are looking for an affordable acoustic guitar with a mature dreadnought sound, the Martin D-10E stands out. This all-solid guitar combines a solid Sitka spruce top with solid sapele back and sides, which according to the product information delivers a full tone that comes across well both unplugged and amplified.
The D-14 fret body gives you the familiar dreadnought format, while the scalloped X-bracing helps the top respond. Within the Martin Road Series, this model is made to perform in live and studio situations, but this acoustic guitar also feels right at home on the couch.
Construction, neck profile, and electronics
Martin builds the D-10E with a Mortise & Tenon neck joint, a 25.4" scale length, and a 1 3/4" nut width. The Performing Artist neck shape with High Performance Taper is aimed at a smooth playing experience, so you can move comfortably across the neck.
The fingerboard and bridge are made from FSC-certified Richlite. For amplified use, this dreadnought acoustic guitar includes Fishman MX-T electronics, developed for clear modern projection with classic Martin tone as the starting point. At Magna Music, our workshop can also help with personal advice on setup and accessories if you want the right configuration for your playing style.
