Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a D-14 Fret body, the Special D-X2E combines a spruce top with Brazilian rosewood HPL back and sides. The result is described as clear and balanced, with defined highs and added low-end warmth. Martin E-1 electronics make it ready to connect for amplified playing or recording, while onboard volume, tone, and tuning controls keep essential adjustments on the guitar. Its 20-fret, right-handed layout and 1-3/4-inch nut width give it a familiar working setup for acoustic-electric use.
