Martin Guitar Nazareth Factory Tour Part 2

Description
The Martin X Series 000-X2E Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar blends vintage styling with modern playability and amplified tone. Crafted with a solid spruce top, and high-pressure laminate back and sides in a classic 000 body shape, the 000-X2E pumps out balanced, jumbo-size sound that projects beautifully. While the spruce and rosewood-stained HPL give it classic appeal, the slim neck profile and onboard electronics make the 000-X2E a versatile, gig-ready companion for contemporary guitarists.

Solid Spruce Top Offers Articulate Tone
The 000-X2E starts with a solid Sitka spruce top—a prized tonewood noted for its balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. Using traditional X-bracing, Martin coaxes sweet mids, airy highs and punchy lows from the spruce top. When you dig into the strings, you'll hear excellent note separation and bell-like clarity in the upper registers. Whether jamming solo, with friends or performing live, the 000-X2E's tonewood helps your sound cut through the mix with pronounced articulation.

High-Pressure Laminate Body Produces Deep Lows
Complementing the spruce top, the Martin 000-X2E has back and sides made of resilient high-pressure laminate (HPL) in an elegant Brazilian rosewood finish. The layered construction prevents cracking while enhancing resonance for full-bodied tone, so the 000-X2E is as durable and road-ready as acoustic-electric guitars come. High-frequency articulation from the spruce top combines beautifully with the rich lows emanating from the HPL body. Beyond great sound, the HPL body gives the 000-X2E exotic good looks that turn heads.

Player-Friendly Slim Mahogany Neck
Whether you're fingerpicking intricate melodies or soaring through solos, the Martin X Series 000-X2E's slim mahogany neck lets your hand glide effortlessly across its fast-playing satin finish, while tasteful faux abalone inlays light the path. The slim taper profile and 1-3/4" nut width provide a natural feel that makes playing for hours comfortable. Beveled edges along the fingerboard comfortably fit your hand, making barre chords a breeze.

Onboard Electronics to Plug in Anywhere
When it's time to get loud, the 000-X2E comes equipped with powerful, easy-to-use Martin E-1 electronics. Featuring volume, tone and phase controls, plus a built-in tuner, the E-1 system meticulously translates the guitar's natural acoustic tone to audiences in larger venues. Whenever you want to play unplugged, it's simply a matter of flipping the preamp off. Lightweight and sturdy, with streamlined electronics, the Martin 000-X2E travels easily from the studio to the stage.
Offering timeless vintage-inspired looks and modern playability, the Martin X Series 000-X2E lets you channel classic sound in any playing scenario. Its comfortable feel and onboard electronics bring versatility to guitarists at any level—don't wait to try a Martin X Series 000-X2E acoustic-electric today.

I have a number of guitars, playing is more of a hobby now. I like the size of this Martin. I had to return the first one due to some blemishes in the stain. The second was is very nice. Arrived with strings that are too heavy for me, so I am going to put on some Martin custom lights, and then take it back to the store for a setup. I gave 4 stars due to blemishes on the first one I got.
a great value in the Martin line

I used to hate on the X-Series Martins because they always felt cheap to me - not cheap in build quality, but materials. They were a great option for beginners to get that Martin name and some of the tone at very affordable prices, but I really couldn't stand how much manmade material they put into them. Fast forward to the Remastered X-Series - Martin is FINALLY making some progress in the budget/intermediate market. For starters, the build quality is amazing and the materials are SUCH a vast improvement. No more junky Richlite fingerboards and bridges or Stratabond necks, these pieces are all solid wood now. Although it's lame that Martin doesn't tell you exactly what woods they put into your particular instrument, it's very comforting knowing that they are solid tone woods. I truly believe the guitar resonates so much better just by having these soldi wood improvements and it also makes it more natural looking and attractive. I still dislike the use of HPL, but at least Martin went out of their way to refresh it and take pictures of classic wood patterns and get variety into the X-Series line. No one guitar looks the same with the back and sides, which is cool. It may be a fake, manmade material, but at least they made it look good. The rest of the appointments are really choice - satin nickel tuners for a modern sleek look, rolled fretboard edges, faux abalone rosette and fingerboard inlays for a really classed up appearance in this price point and the electronics with a tuner that mutes automatically if you turn it on while plugged in. This is a completely gig-able and professional instrument, without a doubt. The HPL does have one advantage of being more friendly in temperature changes and weather, too. I just love this model and the tone and feel definitely compares to my 000-15M.
