Outstanding Junior-sized Dreadnought from Martin

The Martin D Jr-10E is a stellar junior-sized dreadnought that offers younger players or adult players wanting a smaller acoustic an incredibly comfortable playing experience. The D Jr-10E features a solid spruce top with sapele back and sides — an outstanding tonewood pairing that delivers warm, rich acoustic tone across the entire frequency spectrum. A select hardwood neck with Richlite fingerboard is effortlessly playable and responsive for hours of comfortable chording and lead playing. To top it all off, a beautiful satin finish preserves the wood on the D Jr-10E, protecting it and letting its unique coloring come through. And when you're ready to plug in, onboard Fishman Sonitone electronics deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone.

Carefully selected tonewood combination delivers superior tone

Guitarists here at Sweetwater know that there's no substitute for top-quality tonewoods. That's a major reason this Martin Dreadnought Junior acoustic guitar is such a wonderful value — it uses solid tonewoods which typically aren't found on guitars in this price range. Its top is solid spruce, a choice wood for bright, robust tone. Its back and sides are made from solid sapele, which is similar to mahogany in terms of richness and depth. And both of these tonewoods age beautifully in appearance and tone.

Comfortable Dreadnought Junior body style

The clarity and depth of tone of this Martin Dreadnought Junior acoustic guitar come from its Dreadnought Junior body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus but is just the right size for smaller players, students, travelers, or anyone else who wants Martin quality in a compact package. The Dreadnought Junior body style also gives you perfectly-balanced tone, making this Dreadnought Junior a favorite for recording.

Dreadnought Junior neck profile for great playability

Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you have a Martin Dreadnought Junior acoustic guitar. It features Martin's amazing Dreadnought Junior neck profile, which gives you enough girth to hold onto while still allowing you to play fast lead lines unhindered.

Martin D Jr-10E Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Junior-sized solid spruce top delivers superior tone
  • Dreadnought Junior body provides comfort and great projection
  • Fishman Sonitone electronics deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone
  • Dreadnought Junior high-performance-taper neck profile provides comfortable playability

Keeper

I've played guitar for many years. The first time I played this guitar I knew I wasn't leaving the store without it. Of all the many guitars I've owned this one is by far the best!

So Good - my favourite guitar

I have a lovely Takamine, but I keep coming back to my Martin DJr 10E for our acoustic duo gigs. It's just much easier to play over a 3 set gig (less fatigue on the hands, due to the smaller size). The plugged in sound is amazing, I am always getting compliments on my guitar sound. Unplugged, it can easily hold its own with my full size acoustics. Probably not quite as deep and resonant, but honestly there's not much in it. Its just so lovely to have in hand and play. Check out our compilation video from a recent gig to hear how it sounds.

Great Acoustic Guitar

I am 66 years old and just got back into playing guitar after far too many years away from it. I recently purchased a Taylor Mini-e koa and constantly had finger pain despite trying numerous strings and adjustments. After trying this guitar out at a local store, I felt I had solved my problem. Ordered from Sweetwater due to the outstanding service I have received from Mason Boisvert over the years and with him knowing my issue with the Taylor, had it professionally set up by Sweetwater. Not only is the sound far superior to the Taylor, but the setup and strings that were used have made such a world of difference. Easy to play and no more finger pain. This is my first Martin and am looking forward to many years of enjoyment with this instrument. Again, a great guitar and outstanding service from Sweetwater as always. I would highly recommend this guitar.
Music background: Just an average player certainly not a professional

Martin D Jr-10E

I purchased this guitar for my daughter. She wanted to learn to play. She loved the tone compared to similar-sized Taylor guitars in the price range. I own both Martin and Taylor full-size and I can tell she is a Martin girl. The D Jr-10E sounds great, stays in tune, and plays amazingly. My daughter is picking up very fast and it is a blast to sit beside her and play nightly. For the record, I have a D28, but I am finding myself even grabbing her guitar as it is so fun to play.
