The DCPA1 is the dreadnought version of Martin’s newest line of innovative acoustic/electric guitars, the performing artist series. This series features a combination of Martin’s legendary tone and styling with advanced electronics and on-stage performing ability. Featuring east Indian rosewood back and sides with a solid sitka spruce top and wood binding, this guitar has some beautiful pearl and abalone inlay featuring the block-style peghead inlay made famous by some of Martin’s high-end acoustics. Also worth mentioning is the redesigned neck profile for this cutaway series, offering a more parallel neck profile and a slimmer taper at the 12th fret.
The DCPA1 is loaded the new Fishman F1 Aura electronics package, featuring a digital chromatic tuner, volume and blend controls, independent 3-band EQ for both pickup and image signals, compressor, phase control, and an automatic anti-feedback filter with three levels. The heart of this system is in its ability to replicate the sound of nine different world-class studio microphones, giving you the sound you’re looking for in any situation.
