Plug in and get the legendary Martin sound with this Fishman-equipped dreadnought acoustic-electric.

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
