The Martin Road Series DC-10E Modern Black stands out with an abundance of black adornments and a black satin finish. With a cutaway dreadnought body shape constructed of sapele and spruce, the Road Series DC-10E Modern Black projects a balanced tone, a full response, and a powerful sound supported by X-bracing. The Road Series DC-10E Modern Black also offers agile playability thanks to an ebony fretboard with a 16" radius, a Venetian cutaway, and an elegant Performing Artist neck, which is connected to the body via a mortise and tenon neck/body joint. The combination of a Corian saddle and a TUSQ nut further cleans up the DC-10E Modern's string response. Black open-gear tuning machines and elegant details such as black binding, a simple rosette, and 28 Style inlays give the Road Series DC-10E Modern Black its characteristic look and welcome players into Martin's dark universe.Martin's dreadnought model has given the acoustic guitar a prominent role in modern music and sets the standard for tone and quality when it comes to steel-string acoustic guitars. Martin dreadnoughts are prized for their resonantly warm sound, quality craftsmanship, and tasteful styling. Dreadnoughts were an important part of the music that was written and performed in the 1920s and 30s, and they played a central role in 50s and 60s folk and folk-rock music. And although the powerful voice and full sound have also made them popular in the bluegrass world, the dreadnought belongs in all genres.
The guitar is constructed with a sapele back and sides, a wood from Africa that is known for its overtone richness and warm tone, very similar to mahogany. Sapele contributes a clear, well-defined midrange and a clear, sparkling top end, which improves as the guitar is played in. The solid top adds projection and articulation, ensuring that the guitar performs just as well in the studio as on stage. Scalloped X-bracing further improves responsiveness and gives the guitar a wider dynamic range.
Premium Martin guitars such as the DC-10E Modern are fret-dressed to achieve more even playability. Fret Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and machines the frets, so every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
With built-in Martin E1 electronics, you can quickly connect the guitar to an acoustic amplifier, a recording audio interface, or even a PA system on stage. The E1 system's tone, volume, and phase controls allow you to amplify your C-10E Modern's rich and warm tone while shaping the sound as needed. The E1's phase control makes it possible to eliminate unpleasant feedback in tight spaces where it is inevitable to stand near your amplifier! In addition, the E1 system has a built-in tuner. You can tune the guitar without any cable connection, so tuning breaks on stage and on the couch can be done without any problems.
