The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   Martin's DCPA5 guitar is an affordable, durable, and all around incredible guitar. Made with a solid Sitka Spruce top and a Mah wood patterned HPL (High Pressure Laminate) back, and sides, this guitar isn't one to be reckoned with. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid Spruce has a rich, lively sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid wood top, the tone will age gracefully as the wood matures, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by. This DCPA5 features a very playable laminate Birch neck, with a Performing Artist neck taper. This slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort. This precision-cut neck has fast FSC Certified Richlite fretboard, and a 1-3/4 nut width, to give you the right amount of spacing between the strings. The DCPS5 is equipped with Fishman's F1 Analog electronics system. Fishman is a leader in acoustic amplification, and it shows in the natural tone it reproduces in the DCPA5 acoustic electric guitar. The Fishman F1 system can replicate the sound of various studio microphones, for incredible tone on stage or recording directly. It feels great and pumps out tone you're sure to fall in love with.   At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands! Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance.  We want to help you Grow Your Passion®   The Music Farm is an Authorized Martin Dealer.
