The Martin D-X2E in Brazilian rosewood pattern is the X Series Dreadnought that pairs durable HPL construction with the comfort upgrades Martin rolled into the 2024 X Series Remastered refresh. Satin Sitka spruce top, Brazilian rosewood-pattern HPL back and sides, select hardwood neck with the PA Profile and High-Performance Taper (1 3/4" nut, 25.4" scale), select hardwood fingerboard with style 28 faux abalone pattern inlays, scalloped X-bracing, Martin E-1 electronics with built-in chromatic tuner.
Playability upgrades versus the older X Series include a thinner fingerboard with a beveled comfort edge, refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smoother feel. The Dreadnought delivers loud, projective tone with strong bass — equally at home for traditional bluegrass, modern singer-songwriter, or anything in between. HPL back/sides shrug off the humidity swings that would damage solid-wood guitars, making this the go-to for road work, songwriter rooms, and players who don't want to babysit their guitar.
Brazilian rosewood pattern HPL — not actual Brazilian rosewood. The pattern emulates the look without the export restrictions or sticker shock. New from Martin. Includes softshell case. Authorized Martin dealer. Glens Falls, NY.
