A left-handed dreadnought with fast playability and bold tone.
Built for flatpickers who push their sound hard and fast, the Martin Billy Strings Signature D-X2E left-handed dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar brings a touring musician's mindset to a stage-ready, accessible design. With a 25" scale for lower string tension and a neck profile built for speed, it reflects Billy's signature style in every detail. A solid spruce top meets Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL for warmth and durability, while onboard Martin E1 electronics let you plug in with zero fuss. From living room jams to festival stages, this left-handed model carries Billy's influence without compromise—and travels light thanks to the included hemp softshell case.
Martin Billy Strings Signature D-X2E: Shorter Scale Length for Fast, Fat Tone
By dropping in a 25" scale, this model eases string tension and smooths out bends—ideal for flatpicking or rapid chord transitions. Inspired by Billy Strings' pre-war D-28, this setup helps reduce finger fatigue during extended sessions, making expressive playing feel less effort and more flow.
Martin Billy Strings Signature D-X2E: Comfort-Focused Neck Design Made for Speed
The modified low oval neck and slim nut width not only channel Billy Strings' playing style—they prioritize comfort too. Satin finish, ergonomic shaping and precise dimensions let your hand glide through fast runs and open-string licks without grip fatigue. It's performance-first design that feels natural from first chord to encore.
Martin Billy Strings Signature D-X2E: Plug In Instantly With E1 Electronics
The Martin E1 system with onboard tuner makes amplification simple and accurate. Whether you're rehearsing or live, you can dial in your tone and confirm pitch instantly. Easy adjustments and clear output help you stay focused on playing—not patching your signal chain together.
Durable, Road-Ready Construction That Honors Billy's Sound
With Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL and a solid spruce top, this dreadnought resists humidity, temperature shifts and day-to-day transport like an everyday instrument should. Nickel tuners, ebony fingerboard, quality bracing and a hemp softshell case all combine to give touring and touring-local players a guitar that stays in tune, stays strong and just works—session after session.
Why the Martin Billy Strings Signature D-X2E Feels Right in Your Hands
Whether you're tackling bluegrass breakdowns, looping rhythm runs or songwriting deep dives, this left-handed D-X2E delivers tone that's bold and feel that's inviting. Designed with Billy's input and grounded in Martin craftsmanship, it's tailored for creative speed, straight visuals and no-fuss operation—so you can strum louder, play longer and truly own your sound.
