The Martin DX1RAE Dreadnought Electro Acoustic Guitar newly upgraded version of the Martin DX1. Now with Fishman Sonitone Electrics. Martin has always made prudent use of natural resources, especially rare or endangered tonewoods. At the same time, they’re committed to building guitars of superior tone and playability that are affordable to every guitarist. The Martin DX 1AE more than meets both of these criteria. Back and sides are constructed of patented high-pressure laminate (HPL) and then joined to a solid Sitka spruce top. The result: great sounding and playing guitars, environmentally friendly, and one of our best values ever.
