This compact D Junior has a \u003cstrong\u003esolid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, scalloped X-bracing, and a full 24.9\" scale length\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it a surprisingly grown-up voice while keeping the physical size noticeably easier to handle. It's comfortable on the couch, comfortable on the road, and comfortable for players who love the sound of a Dreadnought but don't necessarily love wrestling with one. Add Martin's E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, and you've got one seriously useful little acoustic-electric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D Jr-E is part of Martin's Junior Series, and the whole idea behind these guitars is pretty simple: \u003cstrong\u003egive you much of the playing experience and tonal character of a full-size Martin in a more compact package.\u003c\/strong\u003e The D Junior body is smaller than a traditional Dreadnought, but Martin didn't turn it into a toy. The solid spruce top gives it plenty of dynamic range, while the solid sapele back and sides bring warmth, punchy mids, and clear highs. The scalloped spruce X-bracing helps the top move freely, and the result is a guitar that has considerably more authority than its dimensions might lead you to expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the neck — which is one of the reasons these guitars are so easy to love. Martin uses a \u003cstrong\u003ePerforming Artist Profile with a High-Performance Taper\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 1 3\/4\" nut, and a 24.9\" scale. That's technically a shorter scale than Martin's traditional 25.4\" Dreadnought scale, but it's still long enough to feel like a \"real\" full-scale acoustic rather than a kid's or travel guitar. The Richlite fingerboard has a gently beveled comfort edge, and the guitar is Plek'd for precise fretwork. If you like modern Martin necks, this is a very familiar and very comfortable place to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSatin finish\u003c\/strong\u003e is a big part of the D Jr-E's appeal, too. The natural spruce top and natural-stained sapele body have a straightforward, understated look that feels appropriate for a guitar designed to be played rather than fussed over. Faux tortoise binding and pickguard, a single-ring faux-abalone rosette, Style 28 faux-abalone fingerboard inlays, and satin chrome enclosed-gear tuners give it just enough traditional Martin flavor without making it look overly fancy. The Richlite bridge and fingerboard are also extremely practical choices for a guitar that's meant to travel and see plenty of playing time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug it in and you've got \u003cstrong\u003eMartin E1 electronics with a built-in chromatic tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e, along with onboard controls for shaping your amplified sound. It's a simple, useful system that makes the D Jr-E equally comfortable at home, on a small stage, at rehearsal, or wherever else you decide to drag your guitar. And because Martin includes a softshell case, you're not immediately shopping for something to carry it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've always liked the idea of a smaller acoustic but didn't want to give up that \u003cstrong\u003eMartin feel and Martin voice\u003c\/strong\u003e, the D Jr-E Satin is worth putting in your hands. It's compact without feeling compromised, comfortable without feeling like a \"mini\" guitar, and capable of making a whole lot more noise than its size suggests. Basically, it's a Martin that's unusually easy to live with — and that's a pretty great combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin\u003cbr\u003eD Jr-E Satin\u003cbr\u003eJunior Series - D Junior 14-Fret\u003cbr\u003eNatural Satin Finish\u003cbr\u003eSolid Spruce Top\u003cbr\u003eSolid Sapele Back \u0026amp; Sides\u003cbr\u003eScalloped Spruce X-Bracing - 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eRichlite Bridge - Sloped Modern Belly Junior\u003cbr\u003eSelect Hardwood Neck\u003cbr\u003ePerforming Artist Neck Profile\u003cbr\u003eHigh-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eRichlite Fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eStyle 28 Faux-Abalone Fingerboard Inlays\u003cbr\u003e20 Frets - Plek'd\u003cbr\u003e24.9\" Scale Length\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eMartin E1 Electronics w\/Built-In Chromatic Tuner\u003cbr\u003eSatin Chrome Enclosed-Gear Tuners\u003cbr\u003eWhite Corian Nut\u003cbr\u003eWhite TUSQ Saddle\u003cbr\u003eFaux Tortoise Pickguard\u003cbr\u003eSingle-Ring Faux-Abalone Rosette\u003cbr\u003eWhite Plastic Bridge Pins w\/Black Dots\u003cbr\u003eIncluded: Martin Softshell Case\u003cbr\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135512989993,"sku":"3098261","price":749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6111\/7231\/files\/DSC8385_5b8721f7-cd89-40c6-a514-aa89665a7064.jpg?v=1790616089","url":"https:\/\/musicgalleryinc.com\/products\/martin-d-jr-e-satin-acoustic-electric-guitar-in-natural-3098261","provider":"The Music Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
