Description

The X Series is made to play. The acoustic-electric DC-X2E Brazilian 12-String features a hand-applied satin spruce top with an elegant faux abalone rosette and eye-catching Brazilian rosewood pattern high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides for added durability and looks, without sacrificing that classic Martin tone.  Playability enhancements include a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth and comfortable playing experience. This special addition to the X Series lineup also features Martin E-1 electronics with a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls. Its iconic Dreadnought body size lends itself to any genre and experience level, while the extra strings provide a unique layer of chime, tone, and texture.
