The Martin D-X1E Acoustic-Electric Guitar is built for versatility, durability, and timeless style. Featuring the iconic Dreadnought body shape, it is available in two striking high-pressure laminate (HPL) patterns: koa or mahogany. Designed for players of all genres and experience levels, the D-X1E delivers rich, resonant tones with strong bass projection. Playability is enhanced with a thinner fingerboard, gently beveled comfort edges, refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth playing experience. The built-in Martin E-1 electronics, complete with a chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, let you seamlessly transition from practice to performance. Every X Series model comes with a softshell case for portability and protection.
