HPL body with a bold new look
The HPL laminate woods compromising the D-X2E’s back and sides guarantee improved durability and resilience, not to mention savory sonic sophistication.

Traveling with the D-X2E is anxiety-free, and its become a popular choice among pros who don’t entertain the thought of taking prized vintage acoustics on the road. Moreover, Martin now adds stunning woodgrain looks that mirror the costly figured tonewood. These designs mark a new high point for the D-X2E’s looks and are meticulously re-created by analyzing solid tonewood specimens that exhibit supreme beauty.
Hardwood appointments and an artful neck design
The D-X2E comes with an upgraded spruce top, a solid tonewood appointment that supports a professional sound and feel while highlighting your personal style. Spruce not only enhances tone with brightness and warmth but also delivers lively, dynamic responses that are visceral and compelling. Inside the guitar’s sound chamber, scalloped X-bracing supports the spruce’s power with balanced lows, mids, and highs. Solid hardwood also forms the D-X2E’s neck, fingerboard, and bridge. Meanwhile, the Performing Artist neck carve supplies smooth, agile support with a wonderfully balanced feel for fingerpicking and strums.

Musicians here are impressed with the E1 system’s tone, volume, and phase-reverse controls, which let you faithfully amplify your D-X2E’s richness and warmth while shaping sound quality to taste. The E1’s phase-reverse button is especially convenient for eliminating prickly feedback in tight spaces when standing near your amp is unavoidable!
