Description

Compact Grand Concert Body with Martin Heritage

The Martin 00L-X2E is a reimagined Grand Concert-sized acoustic-electric guitar from the X Series, blending Martin’s legendary tone with eco-conscious materials and modern playability. Handcrafted in Mexico to exacting standards, it’s ideal for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and travelers across Australia, offering a balanced, articulate sound in a comfortable, compact body. Available in Natural finish, it’s praised for its surprising volume, slinky playability, and value, making it a versatile choice for gigs, practice, or recording.

High-Quality Performance

The 00L-X2E delivers a snappy, balanced tone with elegant proportions:

  • Body: Grand Concert (00L-14 fret) shape with a solid Sitka spruce top for crisp, articulate highs and dynamic response, paired with HPL back and sides in a Brazilian rosewood pattern for warm, resonant lows. The HPL construction ensures humidity resistance and durability without sacrificing tone.
  • Tone: Light and bright with even string definition, offering a vintage 000 vibe in a smaller package. It’s responsive for fingerpicking and flatpicking, with a focused midrange and tight bass that excels in intimate settings or recording. The Fishman MX electronics provide natural amplified sound with volume, tone, and phase controls.
  • Neck: Select hardwood with a High Performance Taper and satin finish for comfortable, slinky playability. The Richlite fingerboard has a 25.4″ scale, 20 frets, and a 1 3/4″ nut width for smooth fretting.
  • Bridge: Modern belly style with drop-in synthetic bone saddle for easy setup and intonation.
  • Electronics: Fishman MX-T with under-saddle pickup and soundhole-mounted controls, including a chromatic tuner for silent, hassle-free performance.
  • Tuners: Chrome enclosed for stable tuning.
  • Strings: Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 light-gauge phosphor bronze for balanced tone and durability.
