Martin DRS-2

Martin DRS-2 Road Series Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Those of you who know a thing or two about acoustic guitars will know that the Martin brand is recognised as one of the most prestigious and credible guitar manufacturers on the planet. The sheer quality, tone and performance of Martin guitars is legendary and they have been used by some of the most brilliant musicians and players in the entire industry from Paul McCartney to Mark Knopfler along with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Sting ... The list goes on ...
Built on traditional styling and legendary Martin tone, the latest of Martin’s hard-working, great sounding Road Series guitars, the new DRS2 delivers a unique blend of durability and concert-quality sound and projection. The top is crafted of solid Sitka spruce and braced with Martin’s A-Frame (X1) bracing. Back and sides are select solid Sapele, similar in look and tonal qualities to its close cousin, mahogany. As beautiful as it looks and sounds, the DRS2 is a serious working musician’s guitar built for on the road durability without sacrifice of tone. The neck is constructed of a multi- layered wood laminate called Stratabond that perfectly simulates natural quartersawn wood grain. The fingerboard and bridge are crafted of black Richlite, amazingly similar in look, weight and resonance of ebony. A Fishman Sonitone sound reinforcement pickup system completes this very road – and stage – worthy Martin. Includes a genuine Martin Hard Case.
