Overview
Playing a twelve-string dreadnought with built-in electronics, this Martin pairs a spruce top with Brazilian rosewood pattern HPL back and sides. Satin tuning machines, a sound hole tuner and an abalone pattern rosette round out the X Series update.
A twelve-string that plugs in and arrives with a case covers a stage-ready setup in one purchase. The sound hole tuner helps with the added tuning work that comes with a twelve-string. The limitation is that the listing never states the output connector.
Who it's for
Stage performers and players who record and want a twelve-string in a familiar dreadnought body. Anyone who prefers six strings, or needs a listed jack type before buying, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Twelve strings in a dreadnought body
- Built-in sound hole tuner
- Softshell case included
- Thinner fingerboard with comfort beveled edge
- Output connector not listed
- Laminate back and sides
- More strings to tune and change
Performance notes
A twelve-string setup doubles the string count, which adds fullness to chords and more work at tuning time. The sound hole tuner is there to speed that up. The smooth SC style bridge is shaped for comfort, and the electronics make the guitar usable at stage volume.
