Martin DJr-E Dreadnought Junior Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Martin Dreadnought Junior is one of the most practically conceived and genuinely useful acoustic-electrics in the Martin range - a scaled-down dreadnought built at approximately 15/16 of the full Martin dreadnought dimension that delivers the fundamental Martin dreadnought character in a body format that is significantly more comfortable, portable, and accessible than the full-size original. At 24" scale length and with a Dreadnought Junior neck profile with high-performance taper, the DJr-E is as comfortable in the hands of a smaller-framed player or younger guitarist as it is as a travel companion or rehearsal instrument for an experienced performer who wants the big dreadnought voice without the full dreadnought body.

The all-sapele construction - sapele top, back, and sides in a rich satin finish - produces a warm, focused, and naturally resonant acoustic voice with a pleasing mid-forward character that sits beautifully in a mix. Scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and tonal response, while the FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard and bridge deliver the look and feel of ebony with exceptional consistency and sustainability credentials. Fishman Sonitone electronics make the DJr-E stage and rehearsal ready out of the box. Select hardwood neck with Dreadnought Junior profile, white Corian nut, 20 frets, Style 28 white Boltaron dot inlays, chrome enclosed gear tuners, black binding, tortoiseshell pickguard, and soft gig bag complete a thoughtful and well-executed specification for the player who wants Martin quality and character in the most versatile and portable format the company offers.
