Description
The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings Dreadnought brings the spirit of Billy's beloved pre-war D-28 into a durable, affordable workhorse built for real-world players. Designed with a custom 25" scale length and slightly wider nut, it's made for fast, intricate picking without sacrificing comfort. Built with a solid spruce top and Brazilian rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides, it delivers the booming projection and balanced tone that bluegrass, folk, and Americana players crave.
Under the hood, scalloped X-bracing and a hand-applied finish give the D-X2E a lively, open voice that responds beautifully whether you're flatpicking leads or holding down rhythm. A smooth Modified Low Oval neck with standard taper, ebony fingerboard, and nickel open-gear tuners round out a player-friendly build that's as reliable on stage as it is at home. With Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a hemp softshell case, it's ready to travel anywhere inspiration strikes.
Simple and honest in its looks, this Dreadnought wears classic Martin styling with pride; a style 28 rosette, faux abalone inlays, and a custom paper label featuring Billy's pre-printed signature add personal touches that connect it back to its roots. We love how the D-X2E captures the feel of a well-loved vintage Martin while staying tough enough for the road; a perfect match for players who demand tone, comfort, and a little bit of soul in everything they play.
