Product Overview
The D-X2E Brazilian showcases Martin's commitment to quality construction with a hand-rubbed satin spruce top that develops rich overtones over time. The Brazilian rosewood pattern high-pressure laminate back and sides provide the classic rosewood aesthetic with enhanced durability and resistance to climate changes. X-bracing with scalloped braces ensures optimal top movement and projection, delivering the powerful bass response and clear trebles that define the dreadnought sound.
