Martin

Description

Part of their X Series, this Martin Special D-X2E spruce-rosewood HPL acoustic-electric guitar gives you the chance to experience the legendary Martin tone and playability. This dreadnought-style guitar features a solid spruce top and durable high-pressure laminate back and sides that produce a balanced, articulate tone perfect for any playing style.

Solid Spruce Top Provides Crisp, Bell-like Highs

The solid spruce top of the D-X2E provides crisp highs and clear articulation, allowing each note to ring out with a bell-like chime. Spruce is a lightweight, resonant wood that creates an open and airy tone with impressive projection, so your music reaches the back of the room.

High-Pressure Laminate Back and Sides Add Depth and Warmth

The high-pressure laminate back and sides contribute depth, warmth and a solid low end to balance the spruce top. This eco-friendly material provides the appearance of rosewood with enhanced durability for longevity. Together with the spruce top, they generate the characteristic Martin tone that works equally well for strumming chords, fingerpicking or playing lead lines.

Slim, Comfortable Neck and 12" Radius Fingerboard for Easy Playability

The select mahogany neck and Richlite fingerboard of the D-X2E are designed for fast, comfortable playability across all frets. The slim, oval-shaped neck profile and 12" radius fingerboard allow chords and single notes to ring out clearly with little effort. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned guitarist, you'll find this guitar a responsive and enjoyable instrument to play.

Onboard Martin E-1 Electronics for Amplified Performance

The D-X2E comes equipped with Martin E-1 electronics, giving you the ability to plug in for live shows or recording. The E-1 pickup and preamp system accurately captures the guitar's acoustic tone and allows you to adjust both volume and tone to suit the venue or mix. The onboard tuner lets you quickly tune up for optimum sound. Simply connect to an amplifier, mixing board or interface, and you're ready to share your music with others.

Craftsmanship and Value From 180 Years of Experience

Martin has been handcrafting acoustic guitars since 1833, combining old-world craftsmanship and new technologies to make high-quality, great-sounding instruments accessible to all. The X Series Special D-X2E gives you a chance to experience Martin's heritage of tone and playability at an affordable price, with a guitar designed to bring you years of enjoyment.

    I got a good Martin guitar from them, and I got it new. It sounds amazing, they threw in a free set of Martin strings, and a warranty on the guitar for a very good price. Overall, I'm happy with it and would definitely recommend buying an instrument here to anyone interested in quality.

  • Very happy with the guitar

    I went in to my local Guitar Center looking at getting the Taylor 114 but then started looking at some of the entry-level Martin guitars. The colors and the rolled edges of the body on this X-Series Special really caught my eye. Then I plugged it in and was blown away by the quality of the sound this MIM guitar produced! I also really appreciate the location of the electronics in the Martin guitars. Very clever to hide the Volume/Tone control and the onboard tuner just inside the sound hole. This thing sounds great plugged or unplugged. Would definitely recommend!

  • Great guitar

    This guitar gives you genuine Martin sound and playability. I've played the rest of the X-series guitars and this one, with the spruce top, is special. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to experience a Martin, but doesn't have the budget.

  • I would buy this product again.

    I enjoying playing the guitar because it relaxes me. Just playing along with jam tracks in my spare time gives me a peaceful feeling and relieves my stress. My family loves to hear the soothing sound of chords and melodies. The tones of electric acoustic guitar gives us a nostalgia feel for blues and jazz favorites.
