Martin D-12E Road Series Koa Fine Veneer Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

With a gorgeous glossed spruce top, this solid wood Dreadnought model is a great sounding guitar at an affordable price. This all-new model is set apart from its siblings with a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and Style 18 purfling on the back. It has an FSC® Certified Richlite® fingerboard and bridge, gloss body, and a hand-rubbed neck finish. Like other Road Series models, it also has Fishman® MX-T electronics with a built-in soundhole tuner that auto mutes the audio output so you can tune up any time without using a pedal.

Due to material availability the D-12E Sapele and Koa comes with a soft-shell case or soft gig bag. Selection may vary.
