The bold sound of a koa laminate body, paired with cutting-edge Fishman electronics, offered at a
killer price.
Martin guitars from the X Series feature patented high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides with a
solid Sitka spruce top, patented mortise and tenon neck construction, and professionally installed Fishman electronics. The
result: great-sounding, great-playing guitars, that are environmentally friendly, and priced to fly out the door. This is
one of Martin's best values ever. The X Series affirms Martin's commitment to providing an affordable and competitive option
to players dedicated to live performance.
The 6-string Martin DXK2AE acoustic-electric guitar features a D-14 platform,
a dreadnought body design producing big, rounded sound. Pairing the Hawaiian koa-pattern HPL top with the koa-pattern HPL
back and sides, the DXK2AE belts out rich clarity and plenty of projection. The mortise and tennon neck joint ensures solid
construction of the guitar, with optimal resonant tone, while eliminating drop-off in the finer dynamics.
The Martin
guitar's stratabond neck is a multilayered wood creation, bonding layers of wood under extremely high pressure. The material
is then carved and finished in a conventional manner. The end result is a very strong neck that provides definition and articulate
sustain from note to note.
The modified low oval neck shape, 25.4" scale, 1-11/16" nut width, and 16" radius provide
comfort and dexterity when performing intricate movements and progressions along the black Richlite fretboard.
This
X Series acoustic-electric guitar features proven Sonicore pick-up technology with the Fishman Sonitone system featuring "easy
access" volume and tone controls conveniently and strategically located just inside the sound hole.
Dressed in a satin
finish and featuring chrome tuners, chrome hardware, this guitar has the look and sound of a highly collectible Martin, but
goes for a price that anyone can afford. Embrace the dream of owning your very own Martin guitar, at a price that is too good
to pass up.
The Martin DXK2AE guitar arrives stage ready—just plug them in and play. All X Series guitars also

Martin has always made prudent use of natural resources, especially rare or endangered
tonewoods. At the same time, it's committed to building guitars of superior tone and playability that are affordable to every
guitarist. The X Series more than meets both of these criteria.
