Plug in and get the legendary Martin sound with this Fishman-equipped dreadnought acoustic-electric.
The Special Dreadnought X1AE Style acoustic-electric guitar from Martin combines their time-honored approach to instrument making with innovative technologies for an acoustic-electric guitar that delivers a lifetime of enjoyment. This balanced dreadnought body features a solid spruce top and back and sides constructed from forest-friendly materials, bringing Martin's signature warm and articulate tone.
Solid Spruce Top and Eco-Friendly Back Produce Balanced Tone
The solid spruce top of the Special Dreadnought X1AE Style, combined with its durable and sustainable back and sides, produce Martin's characteristic balanced and full tone. The spruce top provides crisp articulation and bell-like highs, while the back and sides add depth and warmth. Together they create an acoustic voice equally suited to strumming chords, fingerpicking melodies or playing lead lines.
Fast, Comfortable Neck and Fingerboard Make Playing a Joy
The strong birch laminate neck and Richlite fingerboard of the Special Dreadnought X1AE Style are designed for fast, even playability across all frets. The slim, comfortable neck profile and 12" radius fingerboard allow chords and single notes to ring out clearly with minimal effort.
