The Martin DX1E Koa showcases the legendary Dreadnought form in striking koa high-pressure laminate, combining visual impact with exceptional durability. The HPL construction across top, back, and sides resists wear whilst maintaining Martin's signature aesthetic. Playability takes centre stage with a tapered fingerboard featuring beveled comfort edges, precision string spacing, and a refined bridge geometry that minimises hand strain during extended sessions. The result is an instrument that performs as reliably as it looks—ideal for gigging musicians and discerning practitioners who refuse to compromise on either tone or build quality.
