Are you looking for a guitar which sounds huge, but looks understated and regal? The type of guitar you could play and let the music wash over you? Then you should do yourself a favor and try out the Martin DRS2.
Martin is now, and always has been, one of the most loved acoustic guitar brands on the market. With players like Ed Sheeran and Eric Clapton and Valerie June all choosing Martin, it’s easy to see why they are so converted.
The Martin DRS2 is built on traditional styling and has that legendary Martin tone.
Woods
An acoustic guitar is only as good as its wood. Over the years manufacturers have looked for the rarest tonewoods and charged a premium price for the guitars they build with them.
For the Martin DRS2, Martin has specifically used sustainable woods. This means that you can get yourself a great sounding guitar, without the guilt.
The guitar is made from a Sitka Spruce top and Sapele back and sides. The tone is distinct, rich and well suited to anything from country and folk to jazz and pop. The Martin DRS2 is a guitar built with a versatility of tone in mind.
The fingerboard is made of Richlite and has a 25.4″ scale length.
Styling
The guitar has an understated style, perfect for the performer who doesn’t want a distracting guitar on stage. But, on closer inspection, you will see small details that still install a sense of quality on the guitar.
From its multi-stripe rosette to the amazing grain of the spruce-top, this guitar is certainly not boring to look at.
Tone
The Sitka spruce top on the Martin DRS2 makes this an incredibly expressive guitar. It produces just the right amount of volume; reaching the elusive sweet spot where the guitar isn’t loud enough to distort the tone, nor is it so soft that people need to learn towards you to hear what you’re playing.
This means you can play softly and loudly, and bring in all the expression you are looking for, and still be assured you will be heard.
