The Martin DC-10E Modern Black offers a bold, all-black look backed by the tone and feel serious players demand. Its satin Dreadnought cutaway body pairs a solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides for punchy mids, clear trebles, and low-end power. Scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and clarity, while the cutaway invites you to explore the highest frets with ease. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper keeps playability smooth and fast, and blacked-out appointments—including the binding, tuners, and pickguard—add to its stealth appeal. With versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the DC-10E Modern Black is built to perform—on stage, in the studio, and anywhere your music takes shape.
