The Martin DX-1
Martin sets the standard for acoustic guitars, and since 1833 has been a leader in guitar innovation and craftsmanship
Everyone from Eric Clapton to Sting to Johnny Lang has played a Martin guitar, and professionals and amateurs alike know the bright sparkle and deep, resonant tone that Martin guitars have become famous for, from the most high end acoustics to the Backpacker.
Carefully hand-selected tonewoods, master craftsmanship and beautiful finishes and styles make Martin acoustics a class all their own, and must be played to be believed.
The neck on all X-series is made from resin-impregnated wood veneers pre-stained for color called Stratabond. Pound for pound, compared to solid wood, Stratabond has greater durability, and the luthiers at Martin realized it would make for a more durable instrument capable of taking punishment and still performing.
X Series These guitars feature a wood fiber composite laminate body construction, a patented neck mortise, and unique DX-bracing on models with HPL tops.
