The Martin D-11E Rock the Vote acoustic-electric guitar is a special edition instrument crafted to inspire young people to get involved in our democracy. A reissue of the original D-16E Rock the Vote guitar launched in 2020, the all-new D-11E Rock the Vote model includes new features like an LR Baggs M80 soundhole pickup paired exclusively with Luxe by Martin® KovarTM strings. Kovar is a unique alloy of two ferromagnetic metals, nickel and cobalt, not found in conventional phosphor bronze strings. When paired with the adjustable M80 humbucking coil, these strings are guaranteed to deliver an exceptional acoustic-electric experience. It’s the ideal pairing for players seeking warm, authentic amplified tones in any performance setting. The guitar features American sycamore satin back and sides and a spruce gloss top showcasing Robert Goetzl’s custom artwork, and its Dreadnought size and 000 depth offers a powerful, projective sound with a comfortable feel. This limited edition of 47 guitars honors the election of the 47th U.S. president and supports Rock the Vote, a non-partisan non-profit organization dedicated to building the political power of young people. “I believe it’s our responsibility as citizens to participate in our democracy,” says Chris Martin IV. “It’s important that you register, it’s important that you vote.”
