Martin D-X2E 12-String - natural satin
MARTIN & CO D-X2E 12-String acoustic/electric guitar is a Dreadnought-sized model featuring solid Sitka Spruce top, high pressure laminate (HPL) back/sides with a Mahogany pattern and solid tonewods for neck, fretboard and bridge.
Martin is one of the most environmentally friendly company, always searching to improve the tone qualities of its "composite instruments", while innovating to develop better ways to use natural resources and reduce waste of the woods traditionally chosen to make acoustic guitars.
On the D-X2E 12-String only back and sides are built with HPL.
HPL is made up of several layers. At its core are sheets of paper impregnated with thermosetting resins (typically phenolic) that are bonded together, and then adorned with photographic reproductions (wood or original paintings like on this DX Woodstock).
Martins made with HPL back and sides have a distinct, pretty ring, and plenty of Rosewood-like clear bass response.
HPL is impervious to fluctuations in weather and humidity.
It is equipped with Fishman MX electronics and strung with Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings. With a soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, this model is ready to go anywhere.
