Solid Spruce Dreadnought for Powerful, Articulate Tone

The D-X2E Brazilian Burst Special starts with Martin's iconic 14-fret dreadnought body, delivering the projection, strong low end and commanding presence that have made the shape a favorite for generations of players. A solid spruce top provides a clear, dynamic foundation with the headroom to respond naturally to everything from lighter picking to assertive strumming, while scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and sensitivity across the top. Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides provide durable, consistent construction with the dramatic visual character of the prized tonewood, creating a practical complement to the solid spruce soundboard.

25.4" Scale and Performing Artist Neck for Responsive Playability

A full 25.4" scale gives the D-X2E Brazilian Burst Special a responsive string feel with the tension and articulation to keep notes clear and defined across its powerful dreadnought voice. The select hardwood neck features Martin's Performing Artist profile for a comfortable, streamlined feel, paired with a hand-applied finish that feels smooth beneath the fretting hand. A 1.75" nut provides comfortable room across the strings, while the select hardwood fingerboard offers a familiar playing surface across all 20 frets for chords, flatpicking and single-note work.

Martin E1 Electronics for Stage-Ready Versatility
