The big body is ideal for players more comfortable with the dreadnought size, and those with a longer reach.

Fishman Aura VT Enhance

In 2016, Martin introduced the sophisticated Aura VT Enhance preamp system, which offers advanced and innovative technology, described as the virtual blender of all pickups. The Aura VT Enhance is able to combine the raw pickup signal with an acoustic image that reveals the true nature and personality of an acoustic guitar. The Aura VT Enhance with acoustic imaging also features a new bridge plate mounted transducer, which adds dimension, resonance, and body to the guitar's overall tone.

Select Hardwood Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

With a select hardwood neck and a high performance neck taper, players are certain to adore the Martin's smooth and easy playability. Additionally, the neck's modified low oval shape offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience, ensuring players have a firm, comfortable, and secure grip up and down the neck. Its select hardwood neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard which adds a bright attack, superb sustain, and plenty of bite to the guitar's overall sound.

Plek Pro For Enhanced Playability

Plek Technology uses a computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string. This innovative Plek Technology then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does the same work in a matter of minutes in comparison to how long it takes a luthier to complete the same job which can take up to several hours, sometimes even days to accomplish.

Real Bone Nut

The DC-28E features a real bone nut, which offers excellent resonance and sustain, along with an authentic appearance. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
