A more budget friendly version of the Billy Strings signature model, this D-X2E is great for its unique 25" scale length and 1 23/32' nut width, compact and perfect for fast bluegrass licks. From Martin Guitar’s Website: "The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings takes inspiration from Billy’s love for his pre-war D-28 while offering a more accessible option for fans and players alike. It features the same unique 25” scale length and custom nut width as its high-end counterpart, making it easier to play fast, intricate lines while maintaining a comfortable feel. Built with durable Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides and a solid spruce top, this Dreadnought delivers a powerful, booming tone that's perfect for both traditional and modern acoustic styles. Nickel open gear tuners, an ebony fingerboard with faux abalone inlay, and a style 28 rosette add a classic touch, while Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner ensure it's ready for the stage. Complete with a hemp softshell case, the D-X2E Billy Strings is a rugged, reliable instrument that reflects his passion for pushing boundaries and blending genres. Each guitar features a custom paper label with Billy’s pre-printed signature and graphic."
