Here for sale we have a Martin DRS2 Road Series Electro-Acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Mexico in 2017, this guitar features a Mortise & Tenon Neck Joint construction comprising a Sitka Spruce top, Sapele back and sides, a Select Hardwood neck, and a 20-fret Richlite fingerboard and matching bridge. Other appointments include a Compensated White Tusq saddle and a White Corian nut and a set of Martin Sealed tuning machines. A Fishman Sonitone under-saddle pickup system is featured with soundhole mounted controls for volume and tone.

 

The Selected neck plays very well, with the ‘Performing Artist’ profile that fills the hand nicely whilst retaining a slim feel, offering comfortable fretting in all registers. The Richlite fingerboard feels smooth to the touch, and with the 16" radius provides a playing surface capable of a wide variety of playing styles, whilst fretting is a breezy and sumptuous affair in any register, whilst the body design feels great in both seated and standing positions and provides good reach to the higher frets

 

The voice of this guitar is snappy and detailed, with the Sapele back and sides producing a mellow but responsive midrange. The Sitka Spruce top provides a balanced, seasoned tone with plenty of low end power and warm detail. The understated high end of this guitar remains detailed but subtle, adding unique character to this instrument. This guitar features an X-bracing design which results in more flexibility for the top to resonate, delivering more volume and a well-defined and full-bodied tone, making for a great singer songwriter guitar. The Fishman Sonitone under-saddle pickup system captures the natural voice of the guitar perfectly allowing the true nature of the guitar's voice to be conveyed through amplification.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
