Martin Road Series DC-13E Modern Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Martin DC-13E Modern combines contemporary aesthetics with professional-grade performance. Its gloss Dreadnought cutaway body features a solid spruce top paired with koa fine veneer back and sides, producing clear, balanced tone with sparkling highs, warm mids, and long, even sustain. Scalloped X-bracing enhances volume and responsiveness, while the cutaway design gives full access to upper frets for expressive playing across the fingerboard.
Designed for comfort and speed, the DC-13E Modern features a Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper and ebony fingerboard with diamond-and-square long inlays. Eye-catching details like white binding, a faux tortoise pickguard, and Ratio nickel skeletonized open gear tuners bring a modern touch to a classic silhouette. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a protective softshell case, this model from Sky Music Australia is ready for stage, studio, or home use.
