The Martin OMC-X2E X Series Special HPL Ziricote limited-edition acoustic-electric guitar blends advanced materials with traditional acoustic character. This model features a solid sapele top for a strong and balanced voice, paired with high-pressure laminate ziricote back and sides that showcase striking wood grain and offer resilience. The OM cutaway body shape makes upper fret access easy, supporting expressive soloing and intricate chord work. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, it's ready for live sets or home recording. The smooth PA profile neck and high-performance taper give a comfortable playing feel. From detailed fingerstyle to full strumming, this limited edition delivers consistent tone and reliable performance for players seeking stability and clarity.

Martin E1 Electronics Capture Natural Acoustic Sound

Onboard Martin E1 electronics translate the instrument's acoustic voice into a clean, amplified signal. The controls are simple to use, letting you adjust volume and tone quickly during a set. This pickup system keeps the natural dynamic range and warmth of the guitar intact when plugged into any amp or PA. Players can move from unplugged practice to live performance without losing the instrument's authentic sound.

OM Cutaway Body Promotes Comfortable Upper Fret Access

The OM cutaway shape gives direct reach to higher frets, making solos and melodic lines easier to play. Scalloped X-bracing helps project sound while maintaining a lighter top, so the guitar feels responsive under the fingers. The slim body depth and ergonomic cutaway help reduce fatigue during longer sessions. Players who need to shift quickly up the neck will appreciate the accessible body design.

PA Profile Neck and High-Performance Taper Enhance Playability

Martin's PA profile neck features a high-performance taper for a streamlined feel across the entire fretboard. The select hardwood fingerboard and compensated white TUSQ saddle support smooth bends and accurate intonation. Diamond & squares long inlays add visual clarity. Small satin chrome tuners let players make quick, precise adjustments. These features combine to make the guitar fast and comfortable for all playing styles.

HPL Ziricote and Solid Sapele Top Increase Durability

High-pressure laminate ziricote back and sides provide strength against humidity and temperature shifts, reducing the risk of warping or cracking. The solid sapele top, finished by hand, adds warmth and complexity to the tone. A mortise and tenon neck joint and select hardwood neck ensure structural integrity. The included softshell case helps protect the guitar during travel or storage, keeping it stage- and studio-ready.
