The Martin DC-X2E 12-String Brazilian Rosewood expands the X Series with a cutaway dreadnought design and a rich, layered 12-string voice. Featuring a solid spruce top paired with Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides, it delivers a clear, articulate tone with added shimmer and depth, while maintaining the durability the X Series is known for.

The cutaway body allows easy access to upper frets, and the PA Profile neck with High-Performance Taper, combined with refined string spacing and a beveled fingerboard edge, makes it more approachable for a 12-string. Equipped with Martin E-1 electronics, this model is ready for stage or studio use with onboard controls and a built-in tuner for straightforward plug-and-play performance.
