Who said craftsmanship, comfort, quality tone, and exceptional playability were too much to ask for in a travel-size acoustic guitar? Certainly not Martin, because its D Jr-E reimagines everything that a junior-model guitar can be and delivers a mature sound and exceptional playing experience that, thanks to the guitar’s size, you can always have with you. The D Jr-E starts with a solid spruce top and is complemented by the pairing of sapele back and sides, resulting in a body that radiates a balanced tone, plenty of projection, and that signature Martin warmth. Likewise, a hardwood neck attached via a mortise and tenon neck joint and capped with a Richlite fingerboard provides substantial resonance, ultimate fretting comfort, and long-lasting durability. Though compact in stature, the D Jr-E is a full-scale model, clocking in at 24.9 inches. When combined with the Performing Artist neck profile, this guitar is primed for almost anyone to pick up and play. Finally, with the addition of the Martin E-1 preamp system, City Music’s guitarists are able to take this guitar literally anywhere and everywhere. From the studio to the stage, from the bedroom to the beach, you’ll never want your Martin D Jr-E too far out of reach.
This fingerboard’s story
As ebony tree populations in the wild diminish, guitar manufacturers like Martin are turning to sustainable alternatives. The Richlite fingerboard on the D Jr-E is one of those! This stable wood won’t shrink or crack apart from the neck and feels sublimely smooth, much like ebony. Guitarists at City Music say it has similar, if not superior, tonal properties to ebony. This Richlite fingerboard features 20 frets down its 24.9-inch scale, plus a comfortable 16-inch radius that’ll keep you playing your favorite licks all day long. Combined with its classic Dreadnought Junior shape, sapele back and sides, and solid spruce top, the D Jr-E is one acoustic-electric guitar you will love playing.
Plug in or vibe out
It’s a Martin, so you know the D Jr-E sounds immaculate played acoustically, but you’ll be glad to know it’s also equipped with Martin’s E-1 electronics system. With the E-1, you can plug in at gigs or your recording interface to achieve a dynamic and natural sound. The E-1 features a pickup mounted at the bridge, with Volume/Phase and Tone controls mounted for discreet and easy access underneath the soundhole. The built-in chromatic tuner will also keep your D Jr-E sounding dialed in without requiring an instrument cable.
