Durable and affordable without sacrificing tone
The Martin D-X2E Mahogany guitar from the X Series combines durability with affordability, without compromising on the iconic Martin tone that musicians know and love. Whether you're playing at home, on stage, or in the great outdoors, this guitar is designed to give you the freedom to play wherever, whenever, and however you want.
Premium woods
The back and sides of this guitar are crafted from mahogany high-pressure laminate, which offers a distinct sound that sets it apart from other tonewoods like rosewood. With a mahogany acoustic guitar, you can expect a loud sound, a bright treble response, and a punchy mid-range. The lighter and less dense nature of mahogany also gives it a lighter brown appearance. Many musicians prefer mahogany guitars for studio use, as they don't have an overwhelming bass response, making it easier to achieve a balanced mix.
The top of the D-X2E Mahogany also features a spruce top, which is widely considered the industry standard for guitar soundboards. Besides its aesthetic appeal, spruce is known for being lightweight and durable, making it a popular choice for soundboard tonewood. A solid spruce top guitar, like the D-X2E Mahogany, delivers a broad dynamic tonal range with a crisp and articulate sound. Its balanced tonal characteristics make it suitable for various genres and playstyles, while also allowing for individual expression and interpretation.
Craftsmanship and quality
Every Martin guitar, including the D-X2E Mahogany, is handmade in Pennsylvania using time-honoured guitar-building techniques. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship ensures that each guitar is created with care, patience, and attention to detail. Martin believes that handmade guitars have a soul of their own, and when you play a Martin instrument, you can hear the difference.
