6-string Acoustic Guitar with HPL Top, Back, and Sides, Birch Laminate Neck, and Richlite Fingerboard – Black

Blacked-out, Smooth-playing Dreadnought

Since opening for business in 1833, Martin has focused on two qualities: playing experience and tone. In each guitar, these two guiding principles are visible. This dreadnought-bodied D-X1 is no exception and may just be your favorite Martin yet. Made entirely from HPL, the body creates a warm, balanced tone. Top X-bracing lets the top resonate more freely, improving articulation and projection. The body is outfitted with a birch laminate neck and Richlite fingerboard for breezy playability. Meanwhile, finer details like chrome closed-gear tuning machines, a black Corian nut, and black TUSQ bridge pins deliver stable intonation and a purified playing response. Whether you’re a stay-at-home musician or a seasoned road dog, this Martin is sure to become your go-to acoustic.

Easy-playing Performing Artist neck profile

Prefer a sleeker neck profile? You’re in luck because the D-X1 is built with one of Martin’s phenomenal Performing Artist necks. A favorite, this neck profile is light and speedy. You’ll love its slimmer feel and bask in total comfort throughout longer playing sessions without wearing out your hand. Whether you need to get through a long set or an extended recording session, you’ll be glad your D-X1 has a Performance Artist neck.

A buzzworthy fretboard, without the fret buzz

Here’s the skinny on the revolutionary composite fretboard material Martin used on the D-X1: it plays perfectly! Unlike wood, Richlite remains unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity — no more winter pitting or spring-swell fret buzz. It’s also incredibly durable and comes shaped to withstand years of constant usage with minimal wear and tear. The final result? An incredible-feeling fretboard that infuses killer sustain into your D-X1.

Hardware you can trust

Across the D-X1, you’ll find smaller appointments that help create a steadier and more fluid sonic response. First up is a set of chrome closed-back tuning machines, offering a handsome sheen and a stable hold on your chosen tuning. Then, a synthetic Corian nut purifies the D-X1’s string response as you play, matched down at the body by black TUSQ bridge pins that help promote a musical sustain and well-balanced final sonic product. The D-X1’s playability will impress anyone, from flatpickers to fingerstyle fans.
