Martin - DJR-10E Bass Burst
Martin Junior Series instruments are slightly smaller than our full-sized instruments, but you won’t have to sacrifice tone or volume, and you’ll gain plenty of comfort and portability. This Martin DJR-10E acoustic-electric bass is ideal if you love to write and practice on an unplugged bass but also need the option to plug it in to record or play live with your band. It includes a spruce top and sapele back and sides to deliver thumping Martin bass tones, whether you are unplugged or using the built-in Fishman® electronics. It also includes a fast, comfortable neck so you can keep the rhythm section tight. The DJR-10E Bass is strung with Martin short scale bass strings that are made specifically for this instrument.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nearly 200 years of acoustic guitar building expertise in every instrument. The signature Martin tonal balance that sits perfectly in any musical context. Construction methods proven and perfected across generations of professionals. Solid wood tops that mature and improve in tone over years of playing.
Light gauge strings (.012s or lighter) let Martin's legendary scalloped bracing do exactly what it was designed for. Play this guitar every day and the top opens up beautifully - a Martin at one year genuinely sounds better than the day you bought it.
Martin has defined acoustic guitar since 1833 - nearly 200 years of wisdom in every joint. The signature voice is immediately recognizable on Nashville recordings, folk stages, and living room couches worldwide. Built for generations, these guitars genuinely sound better with age as solid wood matures. Owning a Martin isn't buying a guitar; it's beginning a musical relationship that deepens year after year.
