Martin DX1 Acoustic Guitar Details;

The DX1 dreadnought acoustic blends the tonal character and volume of a Solid Spruce soundboard with the consistency, durability and reflectivity of a Mahogany pattern HPL back and sides with a textured finish. The result is a startlingly loud and projective sound at a softer, more comfortable price! Other features include a hand-rubbed finish top, a comfortable Low Oval neck shape, and 1-11/16 in. nut width.
Martin Guitar has long recognized the serious nature of the earth’s dwindling resources and has focused attention on alternative materials. At Martin they’re committed to making Martin guitars that are within reach of every aspiring guitarist.
Martin's breakthrough ‘X-Series’ features guitars that are constructed with a combination of highly compressed wood fibers (high-pressure laminate, called HPL) and traditional tonewoods. They’ve found HPL to be an extremely durable and workable material. Martin has crafted ways to build traditional Martin shapes with HPL that yield incredibly long-lasting, affordable guitars. What’s more, they’ve managed to build them so they possess the "famous" Martin sound and playability found in their more expensive guitars.

Martin`s X Series models represent an extremely affordable option for those looking for the pedigree and quality of a proper Martin acoustic without the price tag of the Custom shop and US made models.

What Martin Say:

Martin has always made prudent use of natural resources, especially rare or endangered tonewoods. At the same time, we`re committed to building guitars of superior tone and playability that are affordable to every guitarist. The X SERIES more than meets both of these criteria. Backs and sides are constructed of patented high-pressure laminate (HPL) and then joined to a solid Sitka spruce or HPL top. The result: great sounding and playing guitars, environmentally friendly, and one of our best values ever.
