Looking for a dreadnought cutaway? The DC-X2E is easy to play and pairs a solid spruce top with laminate back and sides for a easily giggable model that would hold up on the road.
From Martin Guitar’s Website:
"This Dreadnought sized model features a cutaway body with a spruce top and high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. New mother-of-pearl pattern inlay on the rosette and fingerboard lend a richness to the DC-X2E Macassar, making it as impressive to look at as it is to play. With a Performing Artist neck, fingerboard, and bridge of select hardwood, the sound transfer of this model has been greatly improved. It is equipped with Fishman® MX electronics and strung with Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings. With a new, soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, this model is ready to go anywhere."
