The Martin D-13E Walnut is one of those guitars that feels familiar the moment you pick it up, but still has its own voice. Built in Martin’s Road Series, it blends classic dreadnought power with a few modern touches that make it incredibly versatile and approachable. Whether you’re strumming big open chords, digging in with a flatpick, or backing a vocal, this one delivers that unmistakable Martin balance and depth.
The solid spruce top keeps things clear and punchy, while the black walnut back and sides add a darker, slightly warmer character than traditional rosewood — rich lows, smooth mids, and a focused high end that never gets harsh. Scalloped X-bracing gives it plenty of volume and projection without losing control, so it feels equally at home on the couch or on stage.
Playability is where the D-13E really shines. The PA neck profile and 16" radius ebony fingerboard feel sleek and comfortable up and down the neck, and the classic 14-fret dreadnought design keeps everything feeling familiar. Thoughtful details like a TUSQ saddle, Corian nut, open-gear tuners, and tasteful Style 28 appointments give it that vintage Martin vibe without the vintage price tag.
Plug in and you’re covered, too — the onboard Martin E1 electronics make it easy to take this guitar straight to a gig, rehearsal, or recording session. A gig bag is included.
