Martin Guitars D-10E Electro-Acoustic Sitka Dreadnought (Natural)
The Martin Guitars D-10E Sitka (Natural) is a 6-string Electro-Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar from the popular Road Series, which not only offers a powerful and balanced sound but has been crafted with sustainable materials where possible. The D-10E is manufactured with a Sapele Body and Solid Spruce Top, meaning this Dreadnought produces an amazingly balanced sound in all frequency ranges. Warm basses, lively mids and clear trebles classify the typical Martin sound, which is otherwise only known from models in Martin's Premium segment. The Martin E-1 Electronics sound surprisingly natural and at the same time transmit excellent dynamic reproduction. In addition to the sound control there is also a Tuner provided, which is placed inside the Sound-Hole. A Soft-Case is provided to protect your Instrument during transportation.
The main features of the Martin Guitars D-10E Sitka (Natural) include:
I've never ordered an instrument via mail at this kind of price before but was impressed with the delivery time (6 days from Germany) I'd done my homework beforehand on the D10 and it was exactly what I expected from a Martin. Well made, great tone, playability. The tuner is great, pick ups good and would serve you well gigging etc. For recording I'll use a couple of akg directionals. I think it's fair to say you have to get into the few £k area before you would record music you wish to release with inboard pickups etc, but the sound is great for demos/getting down ideas. Guitar isn't my first instrument and wanted to improve I seen an earlier review saying its ideal for people playing for a long time but want to move up to the next stage and further your playing. Couldn't agree with it more! Great guitar, get one you won't be disappointed 😁
I had this model of guitar before and ever since regretted selling it. This new D10E has the same beauty and feel of my last one and I am very pleased. The gig bag feels less padded than the origional bags, but feels that it will give enough protection. The in built tuner worked well. Overall I am very happy.
