This Martin is Ready for the Stage or Studio!

Here's a classic-sounding Martin, with built-in electronics for unbelievable plugged-in tone! The "Dreadnought"-sized Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R is designed for just who its name says it is... this is the perfect Martin guitar for those of you performing and hitting the stage. Whether you want a fantastic acoustic-electric for your coffee shop shows around tone or you want an arena-worthy acoustic that sounds phenomenal plugged into a massive PA, the Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R is your pick. This beauty features one of the most popular tonewood combinations: a solid Sitka spruce top and a solid rosewood back and sides. The Sitka gives you the power and strength you want, while the rosewood complements it nicely for a well-balanced sound. Fun fact: this is the kind of guitar that will age incredibly well... Sitka spruce sounds amazing right away, but gets better and better and better and better with time too. It's quite the investment.

Other touches on the Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R include a cutaway, so you'll be able to play all the way up the neck - with easy access to those upper frets. That's important for performers. And you're probably wondering now about the electronics, so we'll tell you about them. You've got a Fishman F1 Analog system onboard here, reproducing your every playing nuance. These pickups sound phenomenal... and when you pair phenomenal pickups with a carefully crafted guitar by some of the best craftsmen in the world? Well, you get an outstanding all-around instrument. If you're performing and recording, you can't really go wrong with a Martin, and if you're performing... you absolutely, positively, cannot go wrong with the Martin Performing Artist DCPA4R.
