A Tough, Durable Spin on Timeless Martin Tone

A stunning 12-string, the DC-X2E 12-string acoustic-electric lets you tote quality Martin features from onstage performances to the campfire with ease.

Moreover, Martin’s added stunning woodgrain looks that mirror the costly figured tonewood.

Hardwood appointments and an artful neck design

The DC-X2E 12-string comes with an upgraded spruce top, a solid tonewood appointment that supports a professional sound and feel while highlighting your personal style. Spruce not only enhances tone with brightness and warmth but also delivers lively, dynamic responses that are visceral and compelling. Inside the guitar’s sound chamber, scalloped X-bracing supports the spruce’s power with balanced lows, mids, and highs. Solid hardwood also forms the DC-X2E’s neck, fingerboard, and bridge. Meanwhile, the Performing Artist neck carve supplies smooth, agile support with a wonderfully balanced feel for fingerpicking and strums.

Musicians are impressed with the E1 system’s tone, volume, and phase-reverse controls, which let you faithfully amplify your DC-X2E’s richness and warmth while shaping sound quality to taste. The E1’s phase-reverse button is especially convenient for eliminating prickly feedback in tight spaces when standing near your amp is unavoidable!
