Interview with Chris Martin from Martin Guitar Co.


Comfy feel, balanced sound





Spruce is the premier top wood choice for many guitarists across the globe because of its articulate broadcast of each note with beautifully equalized tone. Structured with Martin’s X-bracing on the underside, Sweetwater guitarists have discovered the 000-X2E projects with ease and has no trouble shouting when need be. A laminated back and sides of Brazilian rosewood enhances the bass and midrange with a round presence that fills out the 000-X2E’s tonal palette, while the comfortably PA-profiled neck and its accompanying fingerboard of select hardwood both aid in translating your sustained notes with effortless endurance. Whether you’re an onstage regular, an at-home songwriter, or just starting out on your 6-string journey, you’ll be impressed by the 000-X2E’s delightful tones and unencumbering feel.

Martin E1 electronics





As lovely as its natural tone sounds, the 000-X2E plays just as superbly when amplified courtesy of Martin’s proprietary E1 electronics. Not only is its sound quality delivered with maximum clarity and precise acoustic replication, but the E1 system poses plenty of onboard sound sculpting features. A sound hole-mounted Volume wheel levels the pickup’s output; the Tone wheel manages your balance of treble/bass to best suit the musical space at hand. There’s also a Phase control for achieving better bass response and keeping unwanted feedback from hindering your performance. Topped with a convenient chromatic tuner, the 000-X2E ensures you’re always sounding your best, no matter the circumstances.





Dressed in its Martin best





While the 000-X2E may be priced for every player, it’s still a Martin, and it reminds you around every curve! Up and down the fingerboard, Style 28 dot inlays give your intervals a sharp look that perfectly matches the energy of the abalone rosette and tortoise pickguard. At the headstock, a back and sides-matching Brazilian rosewood veneer comes flanked by dependable closed-gear satin chrome tuning machines on either side. Stamped with the legendary 1833 seal of approval, the 000-X2E proves itself a worthy Martin from stem to stern.
