Martin D-X2E Acoustic Electric Spruce Top, Brazilian Rosewood HPL Back & Sides with Softshell Case

The Martin D-X2E Acoustic-Electric Spruce Top, Brazilian Rosewood HPL Back & Sides is a versatile, stage-ready acoustic guitar designed for players who want Martin's classic acoustic sound, attractive rosewood styling, and the convenience of built-in electronics without the price of a solid-wood premium model.

Key features

• Spruce top: The spruce soundboard delivers a clear, balanced tone with bright highs, defined mids, and a strong projection. It's versatile for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle playing.
• Brazilian rosewood-pattern HPL back and sides: HPL stands for high-pressure laminate. It provides the rich, dark appearance of Brazilian rosewood while offering durability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. It is not solid Brazilian rosewood.
• Dreadnought body: The large body produces a full, powerful sound with plenty of bass and volume, making it especially suitable for rhythm guitar, country, folk, rock, and singer-songwriter performances.
• Acoustic-electric design: Built-in electronics allow you to plug into an amplifier, PA system, or acoustic guitar preamp for live performances and recording setups.
• Softshell case: The included protective case is lighter and easier to carry than a traditional hard case while offering more protection than a basic gig bag.

Expect a full, punchy acoustic sound with strong bass response and enough clarity to cut through a mix. Its scalloped X-bracing helps the spruce top vibrate freely.

Playing comfort

The PA-profile neck, high-performance taper, and beveled fingerboard edge are designed to make the guitar comfortable for extended playing. The 1¾-inch nut width offers room for fingerpicking while remaining suitable for chords.

Plug-in performance

The Martin E-1 system includes a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, making it convenient for gigs, church services, rehearsals, and home recording.

Who is this guitar best for?

• Gigging musicians: Built-in electronics make it ready to connect to a PA or amplifier.
• Singer-songwriters: The dreadnought's full sound supports vocals well and works for both strumming and picking.
• Everyday players: HPL back and sides are practical for frequent use and generally less sensitive to environmental changes than solid wood.
• Players seeking Martin quality on a budget: It combines Martin's recognizable dreadnought design with more affordable body construction.
