This Martin DRS2 Acoustic Guitar is Martin's most affordable solid wood guitar. This guitar was built with Sapele back and sides and a Sitka Spruce top gives you a big warm tone with lots of volume and definition. Lows are loud and bold but not over-bearring. Mids are crisp and balanced. Highs are bright and defined without being brittle or abrasive.
The DRS2 is great for all playing dynamics, whether you play finger-style with a light touch or heavy-handed strumming, this guitar will be able to accordingly give you the rich acoustic sound you're searching for with a price that is still under $1000.
The high-performance neck taper is a very easy to play. Just the right shape for hours of comfort. Frets have been Plek'ed making the level and crown nearing perfection and intonation is spot on.
The Fishman Sonitone is a great onboard preamp system that comes installed in the DRS2. This preamp system does a good job replicating the sound of this guitar without influencing the tonal range that this instrument has acoustically. The perfect guitar to take with for gigs that require console monitoring or any DI mix in general.
Great sound and features at a low price make this Martin DRS2 Acoustic Guitar one of the best for it's value.
