AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
40/X-DX2E-BS
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings Signature takes the spirit of Billy’s prewar D-28 and distills it into a rugged, road-ready dreadnought that begs to be played hard. A solid spruce top pairs with Brazilian-rosewood-patterned HPL back and sides to deliver punchy lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs, giving you that big, open Martin voice with the durability to handle constant travel, rehearsals, and stage time. The shortened 25" scale dials back string tension just enough to make bends, slides, and rapid-fire bluegrass runs feel noticeably easier under the fingers.
Plugged in, the D-X2E Billy Strings holds nothing back. Martin’s E1 electronics faithfully translate the guitar’s natural warmth and detail, while onboard controls and a built-in tuner make it easy to shape your tone and stay in tune on any stage. A comfortable Modified Low Oval neck with satin finish, ebony fingerboard, and old-school diamond inlays keeps playability smooth and fast, and the included softshell case keeps this signature dreadnought protected between sessions, gigs, and festivals.

Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
