Overview

Martin took the DX1AE Macassar Burst and reimagined it. The result is the D-X2E Burst. This Dreadnought sized model has a Sitka spruce top with stunning sunburst treatment and Macassar 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 Burst 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.

I've owned hundreds of guitars in the past 30+ yrs and this Martin by far sounds better than anything I've ever played I would compare the sound to a more expensive Taylor. I think anyone who plays this guitar would say it packs alot of power for smaller frame guitar It come w the action pretty low like I like and I'm just blown away honestly. I compared it to my J-200 studio which is a little deeper sounding and it just blows it away and the laminated sides and back are a plus in appearance also. This is gonna be my most played guitar no doubt.
