This Martin Dreadnought delivers the kind of warm, authoritative acoustic voice that makes the format a perennial favorite, pairing a spruce top with mahogany back and sides for a balanced blend of punch, warmth, and projection. The forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing lets the top respond freely, giving the guitar plenty of dynamic range and a lively character that works beautifully for everything from hard-driving strumming to more delicate picking. Finished in a striking 1935 Burst, it has the look of a well-loved classic while retaining a fresh, responsive feel.

The 24.9-inch scale length and Modified Low Oval neck profile make this dreadnought unusually comfortable in the hands, with a 1.75-inch nut providing plenty of room for fingerstyle work without feeling cumbersome. The High-Performance Taper and 16-inch fingerboard radius keep the neck feeling smooth and effortless as you move around the guitar, while the ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and dovetail neck joint reinforce the sense of traditional Martin craftsmanship.

Plugged in, the LR Baggs Element faithfully carries the guitar’s natural character into an amplifier or PA without getting in the way of its acoustic personality. Nickel open-gear tuners, a faux tortoise pickguard, cream binding, and black bridge pins with abalone dots add tasteful vintage-inspired details, while the satin mahogany back and sides give the instrument a warm, understated appearance. For a player looking for a comfortable, expressive Martin with classic dreadnought authority and stage-ready electronics. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
