The Martin DX2E X Series ziricote dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar brings together vintage looks with modern playability innovations. This acoustic-electric guitar features the iconic dreadnought body shape in an eye-catching ziricote high-pressure laminate (HPL) pattern for durability and classic Martin style. The DX2E has a satin-finished solid spruce top with an elegant abalone rosette pattern that produces balanced tone across the tonal spectrum. Its HPL back and sides are lightweight yet robust. This guitar plays smooth and comfortable thanks to enhancements like its thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, as well as a contoured modern bridge.

Plug in and Play out With Onboard Martin E-1 Electronics

The DX2E comes equipped with Martin's E-1 electronics system, featuring a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone and phase controls so you can plug this dreadnought in and play live at any venue. The flexible EQ controls let you shape your amplified tone, going from shimmering and bright to a robust, full-bodied sound. With the Martin DX2E, you get that iconic acoustic dreadnought projection and balanced tone, plus the ability to plug into an amp or PA system for more volume when you need it.

Iconic Dreadnought Body Shape With HPL Ziricote Back and Sides

The DX2E proudly flaunts the iconic dreadnought body shape that Martin pioneered and popularized, now dressed up in high-pressure laminate with a stylish ziricote pattern. Compared to solid wood, the HPL back and sides deliver increased resistance to climate changes and overall wear. Finished in a smooth satin, the ziricote laminate and spruce top create a lightweight guitar with impressive projection and authoritative low end. The bass-friendly dreadnought design allows your playing to shine whether you're jamming with friends or captivating an audience. The laminate build means you can play with confidence, travel widely and focus on your music without worry.

Thinner Neck Profile for Comfortable Playing Feel

This acoustic-electric guitar has a thinner neck profile compared to many traditional Martins, making it comfortable for both small and large hands. The fingerboard is made from hardy select hardwood topped with 20 easily playable frets. Tuning stability comes from quality open-gear tuners mounted on the stylish solid ziricote headstock overlay.

Soft Shell Case for Protection

The included soft shell case protects the DX2E from dings and dust during transport and storage. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry the guitar to rehearsals, studio sessions and gigs. The case provides the perfect balance of protection and portability.
