The X series is entry-point into the world of full-size Martin guitars. Featuring a mahogany-pattern high-pressure laminate body (HPL), a Sitka spruce top for a balanced tone, and Fishman MX electronics, the D-X2E 12-String offers a piece of Martin's famous craftsmanship at a more affordable price.
12-String
Every guitarist should have a 12-string in their arsenal. 12-string guitars have 6 pairs of strings, with the lower 3 usually tuned in pairs of octaves and the upper 3 pairs are tuned to the same note as each other. The result is a natural chorus effect that sounds like two guitars playing at once. With a 12-string you get a rich, full sound, with an incredible bell-like ring that'll instantly reinvigorate your playing. Combine this with the booming sound dreadnoughts are known for and you can get some big sound out of this guitar.
Performing Artist Series Neck
Whether you're recording for hours or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin X Series guitar. The X Series features Martin's outstanding Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.
Fishman MX Electronics
This guitar is ready to perform thanks to the built-in Fishman MX electronics. The Fishman MX is a simple plug-in-and-play solution and features a discrete preamp with volume and tone controls mounted on the soundhole. Whether you're performing live into an amp/PA, or you're recording into an audio interface, the D-X2E is ready to go right out of the box!
