We took the DX1AE MACASSAR BURST and reimagined it. The result is the D-X2E Burst. This Dreadnought sized model has a Sitka spruce top with stunning sunburst treatment and Macassar pattern high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. New mother-of-pearl pattern inlay on the rosette and fingerboard lend a richness to the D-X2E Burst 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.
