Martin Guitars

Martin DC-28E - Since 1931, the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all other steel-strings are judged. The Martin DC-28E combines the classic unplugged tone of the legendary D-28 with one of the best pickup systems on the market: the Fishman Aura. The DC-28E features an Indian rosewood Dreadnought body with a Venetian-style cutaway. If you're looking for the tone of a D-28 with the ability to project the authentic sound to a larger audience via onboard electronics, the Martin DC-28E is for you.
