Part of their X Series, the  Martin Special 000-X2E spruce-rosewood acoustic-electric guitar offers you a chance to experience the legendary craftsmanship of C.F. Martin & Co. at an accessible price. Featuring a solid spruce top and rosewood-patterned back and sides, the balanced 000 body produces full, resonant tone that is perfect for any genre. The mahogany neck and Richlite fingerboard provide a smooth playing feel whether practicing unplugged or performing live.

Premium Tonewoods for Authentic Martin Sound

As with all Martin guitars, the X Series Special 000-X2E starts with the finest tonewoods. The solid Sitka spruce top generates crisp articulation and bell-like highs. The rosewood-patterned back and sides provide warm, balanced lows and mids. Together, these premium woods create the signature Martin sound that has endured for over 180 years. The overall tone is rich, full and evenly balanced across the tonal spectrum.

Comfortable Neck and Fingerboard

The mahogany neck on the X Series Special 000-X2E has a slim profile for fast, easy playing. Whether practicing intricate fingerpicking patterns or navigating barre chords, the neck's shape and smooth finish facilitate fluid transitions along the fingerboard. The Richlite fingerboard, made from resin-impregnated paper, adds warmth and resonance. With 20 frets and a 14-fret join at the body, the neck offers versatility for any playing style.

Martin E-1 Pickup System

Martin's E-1 pickup system gives you control over your amplified tone. Simply plug into an amplifier or PA, and adjust the onboard controls to achieve a robust acoustic sound or a crisp, articulated tone. The E-1 captures the resonance of the solid spruce top and rosewood-patterned back and sides, allowing you to share the signature Martin sound with any audience.

  • High E string buzzing at 11th and up fret

    I purchased the DX2E X ser spc Spruce a week ago. It played well at the store where the acoustic guitars are in a humidity controlled environment. I took it home and noticed the high E string buzzing as I ran up the fret board and then at 11, 12 and 13th fret, the note stayed the same and sounded horrible. I brought it back and I was told that this is the 3rd guitar brought back today. I exchanged it for another Martin DX2E spruce where again sounded fine. Later that evening the guitar did the same thing. I noticed that the high e string was slightly lower the rest of the strings. I see no reason to pay a luthier to set up a brand new guitar. And I can't help the humidity changes. The saddle is most likely the issue. Sadly, I really liked the sound this Martin produced.
