Martin DX2e. Billy Strings. Left Handed

The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings in Left Handed brings all the charm of Billy’s signature D-28 to a supremely gig-friendly platform packed with performance-friendly features and top-class Martin E1 electronics. Just like Billy’s top-of-the-line D-28, this acoustic-electric guitar sports a non-standard 25-inch scale length for a slinkier feel and easier bends. Whether you’re dishing out Billy-style bluegrass licks or you’re strumming along to support the singer, the D-X2E’s solid spruce top, Brazilian-rosewood-patterned HPL rosewood back and sides, and scalloped bracing dish out all the low-end depth and unplugged projection that's made Martin’s big-bodied dreadnoughts among the most revered instruments on the planet. What’s more, the D-X2E Billy Strings’ select hardwood Modified Low Oval neck, 1.72-inch nut width, and slick satin finish ensure effortless navigation of the ebony fingerboard. You also get rock-solid nickel open-gear tuning machines, a traditional ebony bridge, and an eye-catching Style 28 rosette. Armed with a plethora of road-ready appointments, the Martin D-X2E Billy Strings is ready to rock the stage, the bluegrass circle, or the at-home acoustic jam session with equal aplomb and attitude
