The Martin DCPA4 Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar is constructed with solid tonewoods. The back and sides are matched from African sapele, similar in appearance and tone to mahogany. Bookmatched Sitka spruce soundboards utilize Martin’s Hybrid “A-Frame” scalloped bracing.

The DCPA4 features a slim, more parallel taper at the 12th fret, allowing for a more comfortable playing width up the neck. The bridge spacing is also modified to 2 3/16″ – splitting the difference between Martin’s two traditional spacings. Along with the look, feel, and enhanced performance of Martin’s existing Performing Artist Series models, the DCPA4 also has the new, simplified Fishman F1 Analog electronics system.

This second hand guitar was well played but only show normal and light playwear, with a few dents here and there and some playwear om the first few frets. It also had a recent repair made by JVDM lutherie as the bindings were getting loose on the waist of the body, as it very often happens with the Martins from this era.
