Martin GP-X2E Ziricote Special Acoustic-Electric Guitar, w/ Soft Case

Balancing so many fine Martin elements, the Martin GP-X2E Ziricote Special is an exciting addition to the brand's beloved X Series. This limited-edition model touches down to expand the X Series' offerings with a Grand Performance body style that matches comfort and playability with versatility and tonal complexity.

Set to strike a balance between Martin dreadnought and 000 body styles, the Grand Performance model is designed to hit a new niche for players looking to expand their musical horizons. This all begins with a solid sapele top fitted with a scalloped X-Brace pattern. Providing a punchy midrange and bolstered by the richness of the ziricote HPL (high-pressure laminate) back and sides, this top contributes to an overall versatile and captivating sonic experience.

In addition to a considered sonic palette, this X Series model drops in with fine playability as spurred by a Performing Artist neck profile with a high-performance taper. Twenty frets lay things out plainly while a hand-applied neck finish solidifies the experience in the fretting hand as firm yet fluid. Smooth trips from high to low registers are made seamless with the neck's combination of design elements. Onboard, this experience goes further with a compensated white TUSQ saddle and satin-finished chrome enclosed gear tuning machines – two features that make stringing and playing solidly sturdy experiences. What's more, Martin E1 electronics appear in this X Series entry for bringing the rich tones of this Ziricote Special to the stage alongside its included softshell case. However you slice this model, it gives back in loving ways.

Designed for any and every Martin player, the X Series GP-X2E Ziricote Special is an effortless companion primed for performance.
