Molly Tuttle, decorated bluegrass guitarist that she is, has made a name for herself in modern bluegrass, country, and Americana circles with her masterful flat- and fingerpicking. With the D-X2E Molly Tuttle, some of that Martin mastery carries over with an exceptional encapsulation of Tuttle's musical powers.

The Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle assembles with a great lineup of Martin specifications. This all begins, of course, with an iconic D-14 Fret dreadnought body brought together by a spruce top and figured mahogany high pressure laminate back and sides. This body is treated to a smooth satin finish and decked with a Vintage Sunburst top color for that added visual flourish. 5/16" scalloped spruce braces in an X-Brace pattern produces a lush, rich tone primed for the stage.

Extending out, this D-X2E features a select hardwood neck in a Martin 1941 profile with a Standard Taper. Making for a smooth connection to the palm and easy moves up and down the neck's length, this neck is highly mobile for Tuttle's brand of fiery bluegrass playing. What's more, an ebony fingerboard lands with this neck lined with twenty frets and adorned with faux Mother of Pearl and faux abalone custom Moon Phase inlays. This pattern, replicating lunar phase patterns, waxes and wanes along the scale for a unique visual accent.

This D-X2E Molly Tuttle is built up with a number of performance-ready hardware, electronic, and aesthetic elements. A white Corian nut lines up with nickel open gear tuning machines toward the headstock while matched with an ebony Modern Belly bridge and compensated white TUSQ saddle. Ensuring sturdy yet fluid playing and intonation, these hardware specs pair with Martin E1 electronics to translate this guitar's tones to the stage or studio. This Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle travels with an included Martin softshell case.

A dreadnought to match modern bluegrass's boldest and brightest, the Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle is a delight in every measure.
