Martin DC-X2E Brazilian Rosewood 12 String Electro Acoustic

Full Description

Exceptional durability and aesthetic

The Martin DC-X2E Brazilian Rosewood 12 String Cutaway boasts exceptional durability, thanks to its high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides, which mimic the visual depth and grain of Brazilian rosewood. This material is highly resistant to temperature changes and humidity, making it ideal for musicians who travel frequently or perform in diverse environments. The hand-rubbed satin spruce top, adorned with an elegant abalone rosette, not only adds a layer of sophistication but also enhances the guitar’s overall resonance and tonal quality.

Refined playability

Playability is a key feature of the DC-X2E, which includes several enhancements to ensure a comfortable and responsive experience. The fingerboard is thinner than traditional models and features a gently beveled comfort edge, reducing hand fatigue during long playing sessions. Additionally, the string spacing has been refined to facilitate smoother transitions and more fluid play across genres. A modernised bridge contour also contributes to the ease of play, allowing for effortless fingering and optimal string vibration transfer.

Advanced electronics

Equipped with Martin E-1 electronics, this guitar is ready for both studio recording and live performance. The onboard electronics include a built-in chromatic tuner, which is essential for ensuring the guitar is perfectly tuned, especially important with a 12-string. Volume, tone, and phase controls allow the musician to tailor the sound output to their specific needs, providing versatility across various musical styles and performance settings. These features make the DC-X2E an excellent choice for professional musicians looking for reliable and adjustable sound quality.

Iconic design and sound

The DC-X2E features the classic Martin Dreadnought body, renowned for its robust, projective sound that is particularly well-suited to live performances. The Dreadnought design offers a strong bass presence and a powerful projection that can fill larger spaces effortlessly. The addition of 12 strings introduces a unique layer of chime, tone, and texture, enriching the harmonic content and making this guitar ideal for rich, complex musical pieces across any genre. The cutaway design also enhances the instrument’s versatility by providing easy access to the upper frets, expanding the guitarist's range and capability.
