Martin DX2E X Series Mahogany Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Martin DX2E acoustic-electric guitar melds the legendary sound of a classic dreadnought with contemporary features for improved comfort and versatility. This stage-ready dreadnought guitar has the resonant spruce top and rich, mahogany-patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides that produce Martin's balanced and projecting tone. The Performing Artist neck profile is slimmer for easy fretting while the 16" radius fingerboard with beveled edges lets you smoothly solo across the neck. Plugging in the Martin E-1 electronics gives you amplified tone to fill venues via the discreet side-mounted output jack. The lightweight and durable HPL build also makes the DX2E gig bag portable.

Classic Dreadnought Tone With Modern Construction

The DX2E carries on Martin's legacy of iconic acoustic guitars with its familiar bass punch and clear, vibrant tone. Its solid spruce top provides bright resonance and volume, while the mahogany-patterned HPL back and sides offer a pleasing warmth and richness. Together they create that balanced and robust dreadnought sound. The HPL build gives it a resilient construction that withstands the demands of gigging and transportation. So, you get vintage aesthetics paired with contemporary durability.

Slim Neck Profile and Beveled Fingerboard for Comfort

While the DX2E echoes traditional Martin design with its 25.4" scale, the neck has a slimmer Performing Artist profile for comfortable fretting during long sets. The fingerboard also boasts a flatter 16" radius and smoothly beveled edges. This lets you glide up and down the neck when soloing or changing chords without sharp edges digging into your hand. The nut width is a comfortable 1-3/4". So, whether you're a beginner or experienced player, you'll find this a pleasure to play on stage.

Onboard Electronics for Amplified Versatility

The Martin E-1 active electronics system gives you the flexibility to amplify the DX2E's balanced tone. It features volume and tone controls, and a chromatic tuner. Just plug into the discreet output jack and dial in your amplified sound. Use the phase switch to prevent feedback at higher volumes. The onboard electronics let you fill rooms and venues with the DX2E's clear and robust dreadnought voice.

Lightweight Build for Gigging??????????????????????????

The DX2E dreadnought is lightweight enough to comfortably play standing up without a strap, and its durable HPL construction means less worries about dings or scratches. It comes with a padded gig bag for easy transport and protection so you can easily take this stage-ready dreadnought to gigs or the studio. With vintage aesthetic and sound paired with modern playability and resilience, the affordable Martin DX2E is ready to play, wherever you might be.
