Overview

Legendary Martin tone with modern playability at an affordable price.

The Martin Special Dreadnought Cutaway 11E Road Series acoustic-electric guitar blends the iconic Martin sound with all-solid wood construction and superb playability. Crafted for players seeking excellent tone and comfort, this dreadnought features a solid spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides, delivering crystal-clear highs, punchy lows and impressive sustain. With a slimmer neck profile, this guitar provides smooth transitions between electric and acoustic playing, while the cutaway body offers easy access to higher frets. Whether you're a professional or novice, this guitar will elevate your playing experience.

All-Solid Wood Construction for Resonant, Full-Bodied Tone

The Special 11E is built with a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, offering a rich, resonant tone with a wide dynamic range. The spruce top provides excellent articulation and volume, while the sapele adds warmth and depth to the sound. Unlike laminate guitars, the all-solid construction allows the 11E to resonate fully, producing clear highs and a punchy bottom end that will rival more expensive instruments.

Fishman Electronics for Plug-and-Play Convenience

The Special 11E comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, making it easy to plug in and play with great tone. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow for quick adjustments, ensuring you can dial in your sound on the fly. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, the Fishman system delivers a natural, balanced sound that lets the guitar's acoustic qualities shine.

Designed for Players Who Demand Comfort and Playability

Designed with a high-performance neck taper and a PA profile, the Special 11E offers one of the most comfortable necks available. Its slim profile allows for effortless playing, and the cutaway body ensures easy access to the upper frets, making it perfect for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. Additionally, every Road Series guitar is precision set up using Martin’s Plek machine, ensuring optimal playability right out of the box.

Features

  • Solid spruce top and sapele body for resonant tone and sustain
  • Fishman Sonitone electronics for easy plug-and-play performance
  • Slim neck profile with high-performance taper for smooth playability
