Martin's well-known X series has undergone an update, making it even sleeker and significantly more comfortable and enjoyable to play.
The series has received a new, slimmer neck profile, as well as rounded bridge and fingerboard edges. This results in an ultra-comfortable guitar that is light and pleasant to play. Additionally, all models in the X series now come with Martin's E1 pickup system featuring volume, tone, and phase controls, as well as a built-in chromatic tuner. And yes, of course, a gig bag is included too.
Aesthetically, the new models have also received new beautiful HPL patterns, a thinner rosette in abalone or "herringbone," and a headplate in the same HPL pattern as the back and sides.
The D-X2E Brazilian 12-String features a solid Sitka spruce top and a beautiful high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides in a Brazilian rosewood pattern. The iconic Dreadnought body shape makes the tone of this guitar powerful and projecting with a strong bass, suitable for all genres and experience levels. And the extra strings provide just that unique sound, tone, and texture one expects from a twelve-string guitar.
