This versatile tonal profile makes the D-X2E great for players who want to blend traditional acoustic tones with modern playing styles.

The guitar comes equipped with Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, allowing for easy amplification during live performances. Nickel open gear tuners, an ebony fingerboard with faux abalone inlay, and a style 28 rosette add read more a classic touch, while the custom hemp softshell case ensures it's ready to hit the road.
