The D-X1E range's unique high-pressure laminate surface remains the perfect way to attain a durable acoustic guitar without losing anything in tone. Generated from Hawaiian koa chosen by Martin's expert team, this tonewood is known for its sweet, bright treble and full midrange. However, as koa wears in by being played, it opens up into a smooth, rich low-end that provides exceptional warmth. All of this makes the D-X1E ideal for dedicated players, offering a solid and reliable acoustic workhorse and an amazing tone that only gets better as you use it.
Readjusted for 2024, the D-X1E has had several tweaks made to improve its playability even further. A thinner fingerboard makes it easier to travel across the neck, whilst its bevelled edges provide the comfortable feel of a familiar guitar that you've already played for years. Carefully refined string spacing ensures easy fretting of chords and simpler strumming. All of this is complemented by a modernised bridge contour that makes sure this guitar plays as naturally as possible, and satin tuners for reliable tuning.
Designed by Martin themselves, the E-1 electronics found within the D-X1E range provide flexibility in sound and some quality-of-life features that make it a reliable choice for gigging musicians just as much as dedicated writers. Its built-in chromatic tuner makes it easy to check and set up your tuning immediately. Its volume, tone, and phase controls let you dial in the exact sound characteristics you want, and make it easy to set up play anywhere from your bedroom to the stage, from quiet, unobtrusive strumming to cutting through a venue's PA system.
