A smaller-body acoustic-electric with classic Martin tone and modern playability.
The Martin 00-X2E Cocobolo acoustic-electric guitar blends vintage acoustic sound with contemporary refinements for an inspired playing experience. This remastered X Series model features a satin-finished solid spruce top that produces the clear, articulate treble tones that Martin is renowned for. The elegant abalone rosette adds visual flair. The eye-catching cocobolo high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides provide added durability without sacrificing the warm, balanced bass response you expect from a Martin. With its smaller 00 body size, the 00-X2E Cocobolo is comfortable to hold and easy to transport from gig to gig.
Enhanced Playability With a Thinner Fingerboard and Beveled Edge
Martin focused on playability for the X Series, enhancing the feel with a thinner fingerboard that has a gently beveled comfort edge. This modern contour along with the refined string spacing helps your fingers move smoothly along the neck. Bending notes and soloing up the fingerboard is made even easier by the tapered body shape. The result is a smooth, comfortable playing experience that makes practice and performance more enjoyable.
Eye-Catching Cocobolo HPL Back and Sides for Durability Without Sacrificing Sound
The back and sides are crafted from laminated cocobolo-patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL), providing exotic visual appeal reminiscent of the rare and expensive cocobolo tonewood. The HPL build offers exceptional durability for lifelong use while still sounding fantastic. Its laminated construction prevents cracking or splitting like solid wood. The Cocobolo HPL provides a rich, warm tonality to complement the spruce top.
Plug in the Onboard Martin E-1 Electronics
The 00-X2E Cocobolo lets you take your acoustic tone to the stage with the built-in Martin E-1 electronics. Complete with discreetly mounted volume, tone and phase controls, plus a chromatic tuner, you can dial in your amplified sound. Shape your tone further with the mid-scoop EQ for added punch when mixing with other instruments. The pickup accurately captures the guitar's natural acoustic dynamics. Just plug in and let your Martin shine through the mix.
Quality Materials for Sustain and Tone
Even with its smaller body, the 00-X2E Cocobolo delivers impressive sustain and tone thanks to its solid spruce soundboard and select hardwood neck, fingerboard and bridge. These tonewoods lend themselves to balanced articulation with clear treble and tight bass. The satin finish allows the spruce top to vibrate freely. Combined with the scalloped bracing pattern, you'll hear notes bloom with Martin's signature warmth and resonance. Play it acoustically or plug it in—the 00-X2E Cocobolo gives you authentic vintage acoustic tones in a modern, stage-ready package.
