Onboard Martin E-1 electronics let you plug in anywhere with customized tone shaping. Structural details like scalloped bracing and a mortise & tenon neck joint ensure enduring structural integrity and exemplary acoustic tone. The slim taper neck and beveled fingerboard edges make for smooth playability across the fingerboard. With its resonant acoustic voice and onboard electronics, the left-handed DX2E Rosewood dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar delivers rich rosewood tone in a comfortable playing experience for left-handed musicians.
HPL Rosewood Back and Sides Provide Rich Tone
The Brazilian rosewood HPL back and sides of the DX2E Rosewood guitar give it a beautiful look and bold, projecting voice. Rosewood's dense grain produces excellent sustain and rich overtones, from rounded lows to articulate highs. You'll love the deep bass response and singing trebles of this rosewood dreadnought. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, the HPL rosewood back and sides help the DX2E Rosewood produce highly resonant, well-balanced tone.
Spruce Top With Hand-Rubbed Finish for Resonance
The DX2E rosewood guitar features a spruce top with a hand-rubbed finish, prized for its acoustic properties. Spruce is lightweight yet strong, allowing the top to freely vibrate for excellent resonance and projection. The hand-rubbing finish protects the wood while enhancing vibration. Together with the rosewood back and sides, the spruce top allows this impressive dreadnought to produce loud, bold acoustic tone with great articulation.
Onboard Martin E-1 Electronics for Plugged-in Versatility
The DX2E rosewood guitar comes equipped with Martin's E-1 electronics, giving you plugged-in versatility. The E-1 system features volume and tone controls with a built-in tuner so you can plug into an amp or PA system with great amplified acoustic tone. Shape your sound with the onboard tone controls and easily tune up silently with the chromatic tuner. Whether you're on stage, in the studio or busking on the street, the E-1 electronics provide excellent amplified performance.
Playability Enhancing Design Elements
Several design elements of the DX2E Rosewood enhance its structural integrity while making it comfortable and easy to play. Scalloped bracing provides strength without inhibiting vibration, while the mortise and tenon neck joint offers superior stability. The guitar features a slim taper neck for smooth feel, along with a fingerboard with gently beveled edges for fatigue-free fretting. Together, these characteristics help make this impressive dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar a joy to play.
