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.

This week we’re showcasing JC’s favorite guitar: the Taylor 35th Anniversary Armrest Cocobola. Like the other 35th Anniversary model’s we’ve featured, there are only 35 of this guitar in existence. It is unique in that, combined with some of the most beautiful cocobola we’ve seen, it features an edge bevel on the bass side of the guitar (AKA The “Armrest”). Inspired by luthier Grit Laskin, this treatment offers players the “coolest, most complex binding treatment you cna get on an acoustic”, as Bob Taylor describes it. This guitar has a Sitka spruce top with CV bracing, an abalone rosette, Gotoh tuners, and the Taylor Expression Electronics package. Check out the video below, or come in to take a look at this beautiful guitar!

This week we’ll be looking at something a little unique: The Composite Acoustics Legacy Performer. This guitar is made completely out of carbon fiber, meaning that there is no wood on the Instrument. This frees you from dealing with neck bend and humidity: You could theoretically play this guitar in a rainstorm and remain in tune! (Your electronics package, however, may argue). This is the same stuff that next generation racing bikes and yachts are made out of, making your instrument practically impervious to the wear and tear of touring. This particular model is packed with a Fishman Prefix Premium Blend electronics package, making it perfect for the musician who wants their Guitar to perform on demand.

We’re showcasing another one of the Taylor 35th Anniversary guitars today, the Baritone. Befitting its name, this guitar features a longer scale length (27 inches), allowing the guitar to be played in a lower register without sacrificing string tension. The Baritone is tuned in B and features Indian Rosewood back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top. Singer-songwriters who prefer the lower registers and guitarists who favor a deep, gritty sound will really love this guitar.

The new Hummingbird True Vintage is a tribute to the icon of Gibson’s square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic line.
