Overview
Martin took the DX1AE and reimagined it. The result is the D-X2E Mahogany. This Dreadnought sized model has a Sitka spruce top and figured mahogany pattern high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. New mother-of-pearl pattern inlay on the rosette and fingerboard lend a richness to the D-X2E Mahogany 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 new, soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, this model is ready to go anywhere.

The Martin dx2e mahagony has the DNA of higher end Martin's. Compared to Taylor's 114e, Takamine gd and gn series the Yamahas, Ibanez Artwoods, the Alvarez Masterworks, the Martin was the one to lay down my green on. I have the Martin dx1e koa but it lacked a solid top and the volume suffered. However, the tone on it is full on Martin. So I bought the solid topped dx2e mahagony and it's love at first "play". Nice bright treble. Enough bottom end to satisfy me and the volume I was seeking. It is easy to recommend this guitar. The feel and playability is substantial. It looks great. You can gig with it for sure. Martin puts their name on their least priced guitars unlike Gibson. Martin makes guitars at the base entry level with their name on the headstock. Trickle down lutherie at its best.
