Who said craftsmanship, comfort, quality tone, and exceptional playability were too much to ask for in a travel-size acoustic guitar? Certainly not Martin, and definitely not Sadek Music, because the Martin D Jr-E reimagines everything that a junior-model guitar can be — delivering a mature sound and exceptional playing experience in a compact, travel-friendly body you can take anywhere. The D Jr-E starts with a solid spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, producing a balanced tone, ample projection, and that signature Martin warmth. A hardwood neck, joined with a mortise and tenon neck joint and topped with a Richlite fingerboard, provides superior resonance, excellent fretting comfort, and lasting durability. Though compact in stature, the D Jr-E is a full-scale model with a 24.9-inch scale length. Combined with the Performing Artist neck profile, it offers an incredibly comfortable playing experience for musicians of all levels. And thanks to the Martin E-1 preamp system, this guitar is ready for any setting — from the studio to the stage, from the bedroom to the beach. No matter where your music takes you, your Martin D Jr-E from Sadek Music is always up for the journey.
This fingerboard’s story
As ebony tree populations in the wild diminish, forward-thinking guitar makers like Martin are embracing sustainable alternatives — and Sadek Music is proud to offer instruments that reflect this commitment. The Richlite fingerboard on the Martin D Jr-E is one such innovation. It’s incredibly stable, resists shrinking and cracking, and offers a smooth, ebony-like feel that players love. Guitarists agree that Richlite delivers equal — if not superior — tonal properties to traditional ebony. On the D Jr-E, this fingerboard features 20 frets along a 24.9-inch scale, paired with a comfortable 16-inch radius that makes playing effortless, whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming. Matched with a solid spruce top, sapele back and sides, and Martin’s signature Dreadnought Junior shape, this guitar offers rich tone, impressive projection, and compact convenience — all in one versatile package. Find your next favorite instrument with the Martin D Jr-E, available now at Sadek Music.

The E-1 features a pickup mounted at the bridge, with Volume/Phase and Tone controls mounted for discreet and easy access underneath the soundhole.
