Description
The Martin X Series 00-X2E Grand Concert acoustic-electric blends old-school appointments with contemporary upgrades for the ultimate gigging guitar. Crafted with a solid spruce top, and high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides in a cocobolo finish, the 00-X2E pumps out the balanced, nuanced tone Martin guitars are celebrated for. The slim satin-finished mahogany neck offers slick playability, while the beveled fretboard makes chord changes and lead lines as fluid as possible. Built-in Martin E-1 electronics drive ideal acoustic tone through an amp or PA, and the lightweight, stage-ready 00-X2E effortlessly goes from the studio to the venue.
Solid Spruce Top Projects Confidently
The 00-X2E owes much of its balanced tone to the solid Sitka spruce top. Revered for its acoustic properties, spruce offers focused mids, crisp highs with chime-like clarity and tight low-end punch. Strummed gently, it responds with warm and delicate overtones, while digging in more aggressively yields enough volume to lead a band. The top's vintage-inspired scalloped X-bracing gives you clear note articulation and enhances resonance across the tonal spectrum. Whether you're fingerpicking intricately or banging out driving rhythms, the 00-X2E's spruce top will sing.
Cocobolo HPL Offers Deep, Resonant Lows
The back and sides are constructed from resilient high-pressure laminate in an exotic cocobolo finish. Compared to solid wood, HPL resists cracking and warping due to environmental changes, ensuring that the 00-X2E can hit the road. Its layered construction also boosts resonance for robust, full-bodied acoustic tone. The HPL's deep lows blend perfectly with the organic mids and airy highs emanating from the spruce top. From mellow rhythmic strumming to aggressive flatpicking, it pumps out bold, balanced sound. The cocobolo-style back and sides give the 00-X2E the looks to match its muscular voice.
Buttery Playability With a Slim Mahogany Neck
The 00-X2E's slim mahogany neck profile provides a fast, comfortable platform for marathon practice sessions, late-night songwriting or three-hour gigging sets. Its smooth satin finish lets your fingers fly up and down the fingerboard with minimal drag. Measuring 1-3/4" at the nut, the neck gives your hand ample room to maneuver when forming open or barre chords, and faux abalone dots look classy while offering fretboard orientation. Whether you're banging out first-position chords or shredding solos near the body joint, your hands will stay relaxed.
E-1 System Brings Acoustic Sound on Stage
When you need reinforced volume, the 00-X2E lets you plug straight into a PA or acoustic amp with its onboard Martin E-1 electronics. Featuring volume, tone and phase controls, as well as a built-in tuner, the E-1 system translates true acoustic tone at gig volumes. When you want to play unplugged again, it's as easy as simply flipping the preamp off. Weighing under four pounds, the 00-X2E travels easily from the studio to the stage. Plug in and let your acoustic sound shine.
Boasting vintage vibe and modern playability, the Martin X Series 00-X2E Grand Concert acoustic-electric suits fingerstylists and rockers alike. Its comfortable feel and rugged build make it a workhorse acoustic-electric for gigging, recording and everyday practice. Let the Martin 00-X2E be your trusty companion on your musical journey.
