Overview

Martin Guitars took the DC-X1RAE and reimagined it. The result is the DC-X2E. This Dreadnought-sized model features a cutaway body with a Sitka spruce top and figured high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. Mother-of-pearl pattern inlay on the rosette and fingerboard lend a richness to the DC-X2E, making it as impressive to look at as it is to play.

A Performing Artist neck, fingerboard, and bridge of select hardwood improve upon the sound transfer of this model. It is equipped with Fishman MX electronics and strung with Martin's Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings. With a soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, this model is ready to go anywhere.
