Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a left-handed player seeking a dreadnought with onboard amplification, the D-X1E combines an HPL top, back and sides with Martin E-1 electronics. The dreadnought body is described as delivering a broad balance of bass, midrange and clear treble. Its Performing Artist neck profile has a slimmer taper for extended left-handed playing. Plug in to use the guitar's volume, tone and phase controls, and use the built-in chromatic tuner before playing. A protective gig bag is supplied for travel.
