Martin D-X1E Koa

We took the DXK2AE and reimagined it. The result is the D-X1E Koa. The top, back and sides of this new guitar are constructed from a gorgeous, koa-pattern high-pressure laminate (HPL), generated from premium Hawaiian koa that was specially selected from Martins wood stores. It is equipped with Fishman MX electronics and strung with Martins Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings. All this gives the D-X1E Koa a great look to match its room-filling sound. Add in a new soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, and this model is truly a stage-ready guitar.
