Martin D-X1E Koa Acoustic-electric Guitar - Figured Koa (DX1E D X1E)

Martin's X Series of acoustic-electric guitars has long served as a 6-string staple for touring musicians for two reasons: their decidedly modern Martin formula and their superb durability. And while the D-X1E Koa exemplifies both those lofty qualities, it introduces a bold new feature into the X Series mix — beautiful printed figured koa patterns on the HPL top, back, and sides that mirror the dashing grain lines of top-tier koa wood. Combined with classic Martin X-bracing, a big-bodied dreadnought construction, and stage-ready Martin E-1 electronics, the D-X1E Koa supplies full-range Martin unplugged warmth in the studio and feedback-resistant acoustic-electric flexibility onstage. You also get an ultra-sturdy birch laminate neck, a composite richlite fingerboard, and rock-solid closed-gear tuners. Boasting classic koa looks and cutting-edge acoustic-electric performance, the Martin D-X1E Koa acoustic-electric is a show stopper of a 6-string with road-ready durability to ensure the show never stops.
