Martin / 2017 DJr-E
—The traditional Martin sound housed in a compact body
“Full-size Dreadnoughts are too big and tiring to hold for long periods…”
“But I just can’t settle for the thin, ‘plinky’ sound of typical travel or mini guitars.”
“I want a genuine Martin that I can play while relaxing on my couch at home, yet still take out for live performances.”
Are you finding yourself forced to compromise between size and sound?
I understand that frustration very well.
It’s a path every acoustic guitar lover has walked: buying a mini guitar for convenience, only to feel underwhelmed by its lack of bass impact or unstable pitch. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to enjoy that rich,
coveted Martin tone in a more relaxed setting, anytime, anywhere?
The Martin DJr-E (Dreadnought Junior) perfectly embodies that ideal. It’s not
just a “small guitar”—it’s a groundbreaking model that faithfully scales down Martin’s iconic traditional Dreadnought to a 15/16 size with exquisite proportions.
This guitar promises a sound that’s simply unbelievable for its size.
—Uncompromising All-Solid-Wood Construction
It features a Sitka spruce
top and sapele sides and back.
Unlike the laminated construction often found in compact guitars in this price range, its all-solid-wood construction delivers the rich harmonics and deep resonance that only a solid-wood guitar can provide.
—Stress-Free Playing Comfort
Featuring a
24-inch short scale, this guitar has lower string tension, making it less likely to cause finger fatigue even during extended playing sessions.
—Equipped with a Ready-to-Use Fishman Pickup
Equipped with a
Fishman Sonitone pickup as standard.
Simply plug it into an amp, and it’s immediately ready for use on stage or in the recording studio without compromising the nuances of the acoustic sound.
The powerful bass that resonates deep in your chest and the rich sound pressure are qualities you can only experience with instruments from this era.
As a result, well-preserved examples quickly become hard to find even on the used market.
A rare early-model, all-solid-wood Martin that combines “playability” with an “uncompromising, authentic sound.” Be sure to get your hands on this exquisite tone, beautifully matured through just the
right amount of playing.
