Martin D-X2E 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Dreadnought Spruce/Brazilian Rosewood

Get ready to fill the room with that unmistakable, lush acoustic shimmer! The remastered Martin D-X2E 12-String brings legendary Martin tone and thunderous dreadnought projection into a road-tough, stage-ready instrument that will not break the bank. Built on Martin's iconic D-14 platform, this acoustic-electric cannon delivers the booming low end, room-filling volume, and authoritative voice that dreadnoughts made famous. Whether you are laying down a textured rhythm track, filling out a Sunday worship mix, or writing your next anthem, the paired strings add a rich, chorus-like chime that makes a single guitar sound like a full ensemble.

At the core of its acoustic voice is a hand-rubbed spruce top paired with eye-catching Brazilian rosewood-pattern high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. Spruce has long reigned as the premier soundboard wood due to its stiffness and velocity of sound, giving you snappy responsiveness, broad dynamic headroom, and crisp harmonic articulation that will not break up even when you dig in hard. While vintage Brazilian rosewood is world-renowned for its dark spider-web grain, deep basses, and bell-like trebles, Martin's durable HPL recreates that jaw-dropping look while offering rock-solid resistance to humidity swings and temperature shifts. Combined with a select hardwood neck, fingerboard, and bridge, this guitar delivers warm sustain, reliable stability, and punchy projection wherever your music takes you.

Martin also dialed up the player comfort with a host of modern design tweaks. A sleek Performing Artist neck profile, a thinner fingerboard with gently beveled comfort edges, and refined string spacing ensure your fretting hand stays relaxed through long sets. When it is time to plug in, the onboard Martin E-1 electronics deliver natural amplified acoustic tone with discreet volume, tone, and phase controls, alongside a built-in chromatic tuner to keep all 12 strings locked in tune. Iconic players from Roger McGuinn of The Byrds to Jimmy Page and David Gilmour have harnessed the legendary chime of Martin 12-strings to define entire generations of rock and folk—and this D-X2E puts that same inspiring magic right at your fingertips.

All fretted instruments receive a free complimentary professional setup.
