Independent shopping perspective
Martin’s 000-X2E Special pairs a solid sapele top with ziricote-patterned HPL back and sides in a right-handed 000-14 fret acoustic-electric. Scalloped spruce X-bracing supports the top, while the 24.9-inch scale, Performing Artist neck profile, high-performance taper, and ebony fingerboard define the playing platform. The Martin E1 system brings onboard amplification, EQ and volume adjustment, plus a built-in tuner, so it can move from unplugged writing or recording into a PA-based performance without changing instruments.
