Martin DX1 6 String Acoustic Guitar
Product Info
The DX1 dreadnought acoustic blends the tonal character and volume of a Solid Spruce soundboard with the consistency, durability and reflectivity of a Mahogany pattern HPL back and sides with a textured finish. The result is a startlingly loud and projective sound at a softer, more comfortable price! Other features include a hand-rubbed finish top, a comfortable Low Oval neck shape, and 1-11/16 in. nut width.
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 Martin 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.
