Full Description
View Full DescriptionBrazilian rosewood HPL and spruce top
The Martin D-X2E Brazilian Rosewood 12 String features a stunning combination of premium woods that contribute to its exceptional tone and appearance. The back and sides of this guitar are crafted from Brazilian rosewood High Pressure Laminate (HPL), a tonewood known for its density and hardness. This results in warm and resonant tones, with variations in sound and appearance depending on the species of rosewood used. The Brazilian rosewood HPL on this guitar features a dark brown hue with fine black lines and hints of orange, giving it a luxurious and exotic look. In terms of sound, it offers rich overtones, long sustain, and deep resonance, providing players with a beautiful balance of bass and treble.
The top of the Martin D-X2E Brazilian Rosewood 12 String is made from spruce, a wood that is widely considered the industry standard for guitar soundboards. Spruce offers a timeless look with a signature tan-coloured fine wood grain pattern over a creamy white or pinkish background. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, spruce is lightweight and durable, making it a popular choice for soundboards. When paired with a solid spruce top, this guitar delivers a broad dynamic tonal range with a crisp and articulate sound.
Dreadnought design
The Martin D-X2E Brazilian Rosewood 12 String boasts a classic dreadnought design, which is the epitome of what most people envision when they think of an acoustic guitar. Its large body size, with upper bouts that are only slightly smaller than the lower bouts, ensures impressive volume levels and substantial projection. This makes it suitable for both light fingerstyle playing and heavy strumming.
The dreadnought design provides a boomy tone with a generous amount of sustain, making it an excellent choice for guitarists who enjoy playing with other musicians in various genres. This guitar is particularly well-suited for genres such as pop, rock, country, and bluegrass - any genre that features guitar-driven music.
