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.SpecificationsOverviewRecommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - LightBody Size: D-14 FretFinish Top: Hand-AppliedConstruction: Mortise & Tenon Neck JointBack and Side Finish: SatinBracing Pattern: X-BraceScale Length: 25"Brace Shape: ScallopedFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 23/32''Top Material: SpruceNeck Shape: Modified Low OvalBack Material: Brazilian Rosewood HPLNeck Taper: Standard TaperSide Material: Brazilian Rosewood HPLElectronics: YesElectronics Options: Martin E1TopTop Color: NaturalBridge Style: Modern BellyBinding: NoneBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Top Inlay Material: NoneBridge Material: EbonyTop Detail: NoneBridge Pin Material: White PlasticPickguard: Faux TortoiseBridge Pin Dots: BlackPickguard Inlay: NoneSaddle: White TusqRosette: 28 Style BoltaronSaddle Radius: 16"BodyBrace Material: SpruceBack and Sides Color: NoneBrace Size: 5/16"Back Detail: NoneBack Purfling/Strip: NoneBack Inlay Material: NoneHeelcap: Black BoltaronSide Detail: NoneEndpiece: NoneSide Inlay Material: NoneEndpiece Inlay: NoneNeckNeck Material: Select HardwoodFingerboard Material: EbonyFinish Neck: SatinFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1/8''Neck Color: NaturalFingerboard Inlay Style: Diamond & Squares LongNumber of Frets Total: 20Fingerboard Inlay Material: Faux AbaloneNeck Joins Body At: 14th FretFingerboard Binding Material: NoneSide Dots: WhiteHeadstockHeadstock Shape: SolidTuning Machines: Nickel Open GearHeadplate Material: EbonyKnob: ButterbeanHeadplate Logo Style: Authentic Style CFM Script OverlayNut Material: White CorianHeadplate Binding Material: NoneMiscCase: SoftshellLeft Handed Availability: trueLabel: Paper Label w/Model Name and Pre-Printed Billy Strings SignaturePleked: true
