The Martin DC-13E Modern blends contemporary style with stage-ready performance. Its gloss Dreadnought cutaway body combines a solid spruce top with koa fine veneer back and sides for clear, balanced tone with shimmering highs and long, even sustain. Scalloped X-bracing boosts volume and responsiveness, while the cutaway gives full access to the upper frets. The Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper delivers fast, comfortable playability, and eye-catching details like white binding, diamond-and-square inlays, and Ratio® skeletonized open gear tuners bring a modern twist to a classic look. Equipped with versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the DC-13E Modern is a sleek, inspiring tool for creating, gigging, and pushing your sound forward.
