Martin DC-10E Modern Black

The Martin DC-10E Modern Black offers a bold, all-black aesthetic with the tone and feel demanded by the most discerning guitarists. Its satin Dreadnought body combines a solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides to deliver powerful mids, crisp trebles, and deep bass. The scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and clarity, while the cutaway allows easy access to the higher frets.

A high-performance Performing Artist neck ensures smooth, fast playability, and black accents such as the binding, tuners, and pickguard provide a subtle touch. Equipped with the versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a soft case, the DC-10E Modern Black is designed for maximum performance—on stage, in the studio, and wherever your music takes you.
