The DC-5E is a great starter acoustic-electric guitar, combining ESP's attention to detail with a price that will allow nearly any musician to get into playing acoustic guitar. Even at its very affordable price, the DC-5E is a classic dreadnought that offers a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard like guitars that cost many times more.

Easy to play
What sets this guitar apart from other dreadnoughts is how easy it is to play. The thin U neck contour feels perfect and stays comfortable during long practice sessions or performances. The DC-5E also features extra jumbo frets that are more often found on electric guitars, and which make fingering notes faster and easier.

Tone
The DC-5E dreadnought won't disapoint in the tone department. The body design and tone woods of this ESP guitar deliver plenty of volume and balanced sound, perfect for performing solo or jamming with others.

Plugged in performance
The DC-5E is ready to connect to any amp or sound system. The onboard ESP preamp has a 2-band sliding EQ and volume control to help you find your sound on stage. There's also a low battery indicater.

With advantages in both playabilty and sound, the DC-5E is a smart choice for beginners. It's also an attractive option for experienced electric players looking to cross over into the acoustic-electric realm.
