The X series is entry-point into the world of full-size Martin guitars. Featuring a mahogany-pattern high-pressure laminate body (HPL) and Fishman MX electronics, the D-X1E offers a piece of Martin’s famous craftsmanship at a more affordable price.

Dreadnought Body

The dreadnought is arguably the most popular acoustic guitar shape in the world, and Martin were the inventors of it! Dreadnoughts are known for being one the louder body shapes thanks to its big sound and excellent projection. With a booming bass and lower-midrange response, you’re sure to be heard with a dreadnought. This shape is responsive to both strumming and fingerpicking so it’ll handle whatever style you throw at it.

Performing Artist Series Neck

Whether you’re recording for hours or plan to play out late into the night, you’ll be glad you got a Martin X Series guitar. The X Series features Martin’s outstanding Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.

Fishman MX Electronics

This guitar is ready to perform thanks to the built-in Fishman MX electronics. The Fishman MX is a simple plug-in-and-play solution and features a discrete preamp with volume and tone controls mounted on the soundhole. Whether you’re performing live into an amp/PA, or you’re recording into an audio interface, the D-X1E is ready to go right out of the box!
