Martin D-X2e 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural
A stunning 12-string, the D-X2E 12-string acoustic-electric lets you tote quality Martin features from onstage performances to the campfire with ease. Complete with gig-ready electronics and a smooth Performing Artist neck, the D-X2E 12-string is ready to go at a moment's notice. Laminate back and sides contribute to lightweight comfort and boost the D-X2E's overall weather resistance, which lets you enjoy a consistent performance when traveling between gigs or enjoying the great outdoors. Furthermore, the D-X2E 12-string’s back and sides now feature stunning prints of woodgrain patterns for a luxurious look that complements the D-X2E's tantalizing sound. Lastly, a premium solid spruce top enhances the D-X2E with bright resonance, warmth, and professional power.
HPL body with a bold new look
The HPL laminate woods compromising the D-X2E 12-string’s back and sides guarantee improved durability and resilience, not to mention savory sonic sophistication. Martin’s HPL back and sides deliver vibrant sustain and warm bass; they also make for an acoustic that’s less delicate than pricier options. Traveling with the D-X2E 12-string is anxiety-free, and it has become a popular choice among pros who don’t entertain the thought of taking prized vintage acoustics on the road. Moreover, Martin now adds stunning woodgrain looks that mirror the costly figured tonewood. These designs mark a new high point for the D-X2E’s looks and are meticulously re-created by analyzing solid tonewood specimens that exhibit supreme beauty.
Hardwood appointments and an artful neck design
The D-X2E 12-string comes with an upgraded spruce top, a solid tonewood appointment that supports a professional sound and feel while highlighting your personal style. Spruce not only enhances tone with brightness and warmth but also delivers lively, dynamic responses that are visceral and compelling. Inside the guitar’s sound chamber, scalloped X-bracing supports the spruce’s power with balanced lows, mids, and highs. Solid hardwood also forms the D-X2E’s neck, fingerboard, and bridge. Meanwhile, the Performing Artist neck carve supplies smooth, agile support with a wonderfully balanced feel for fingerpicking and strums.
