The recently-updated Martin X-Series models now sport select hardwood fingerboards and bridges (instead of Richlite composite) as well as updated appointments such as a Pearloid rosette. While the genuine wood bridge and fingerboard certainly enhance the guitar's sound transfer, the nicer-looking appointments don't affect the sound, but they sure do add to the guitar's mojo! The Martin D-X2E Macassar features a solid Sapele top and Macassar-pattern High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) back and sides. Its tone is warm, rich, and packed with every bit of the power we expect from a good Martin dreadnought. With Fishman MX electronics under the hood, the D-X2E Macassar ready to take you wherever your music needs to go.
