Description
The Martin X Series 0-X2E Concert acoustic-electric blends timeless appointments with contemporary upgrades for the ultimate gigging guitar. This instrument features a solid Sitka spruce top, and high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides in a cocobolo finish, to produce the balanced, full-bodied tone Martin is revered for. Vintage-inspired looks merge with modern playability from the satin finish and slim mahogany neck. Plus, when you need amplification, the 0-X2E lets you plug right in with its onboard Martin E-1 electronics. The 0-X2E is the ideal companion for performing, recording and everyday jamming.
Project Your Tone With a Solid Spruce Top
The Martin X Series 0-X2E utilizes a solid Sitka spruce top—a versatile tonewood that gives you balanced sound across the range of frequencies. Crystalline highs offer bell-like clarity, focused mids give the guitar a distinct growl, and tight low-end resonance gives the instrument a sense of power and fullness. You’ll also love the detailed note articulation and snappy responsiveness that spruce provides, lending itself to a dynamic and nuanced range of sounds.
Sturdy, Reliable HPL Back and Sides
The 0-X2E’s back and sides are made from high-pressure laminate in an exotic cocobolo finish. HPL is an incredibly reliable construction technique that resists cracking and warping from environmental changes, so your 0-X2E remains stable on the road and in between climates. Its layered construction also enhances resonance and low-end response for lush, immersive tone that naturally complements the guitar’s brighter Sitka spruce top. With vintage looks and modern resilience, the 0-X2E gets eye-catching aesthetics to match its bold acoustic voice.
Play All Night on the Slim Mahogany Neck
A Martin Performing Artist neck profile enables fast, comfortable fretting, whether you’re ripping through solos or exploring the gentler side of acoustic fingerstyle techniques. The mahogany neck has a smooth satin finish that helps you glide up and down the fretboard with little resistance, and faux abalone dot inlays look stellar while mapping out positions. The 1-3/4″ nut gives you just enough room to fret open chords comfortably in the first position, and beveled fingerboard edges naturally contour to your hand, making barre chords and reaching for high notes effortless. The Martin 0-X2E’s ultrafast mahogany neck offers hours of fatigue-free playing.
Plug In Anywhere Using Martin E-1 Electronics
When it’s time to turn up, the 0-X2E acoustic-electric lets you connect to a PA or amp with its onboard Martin E-1 system. These specially designed proprietary electronics capture authentic acoustic sound, complete with volume, tone and phase controls. Just flip the preamp off when you want to play unplugged again. Lightweight and road-ready, the 0-X2E goes from the studio to stage with ease. Sporting vintage style and modern playability, the 0-X2E is ideal for guitarists who want the classic Martin sound anywhere, without compromise.
Whether you prefer vintage looks or modern comfort, the Martin 0-X2E Concert acoustic-electric melds the best of both worlds. Its solid spruce top and resonant HPL body give you legendary Martin acoustic tone, unplugged and amplified. Combined with the slim mahogany neck and onboard electronics, the 0-X2E becomes an ideal musical companion ready to be heard on any stage or in any studio.
