Its signature size is loud and projective with strong bass, lending itself to any genre and experience level.

All X Series models come with a softshell case.

## Features

- DREADNOUGHT BODY SIZE: The Martin Dreadnought is one of the most iconic acoustic guitar shapes, known for its bold, room-filling sound. Invented by Martin in 1916, this larger-bodied shape delivers strong bass, rich sustain, and excellent projection, making it perfect for strumming, fingerpicking, and any genre of music. Whether you're playing solo or in a band, the Dreadnought's warm, balanced tone ensures your sound stands out.
- HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE BACK & SIDES: Designed for durability, the high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides provide a stable and reliable build that stands up to changing environments. The figured koa pattern gives the guitar a classic, wood-inspired look, adding visual warmth without the upkeep of solid wood. Whether you're traveling, practicing, or performing, this durable construction ensures consistent tone and worry-free playability.
- HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE TOP: Built for durability and style, this high-pressure laminate (HPL) top offers exceptional resistance to scratches, humidity, and temperature changes, making it a reliable choice for travel and everyday play. The figured koa pattern adds a rich, natural wood aesthetic, giving the guitar a distinctive look. With its sturdy construction and eye-catching design, this HPL top delivers both resilience and visual appeal without the maintenance of solid wood.
- PERFORMING ARTIST NECK: The Performing Artist neck profile offers a modern, slimmer shape for fast playing and smooth chord changes. It features a 1 3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length for enhanced sustain and resonance, providing a familiar feel with added tonal depth. The high-performance taper ensures a fast, comfortable grip, while the hand-applied finish gives it a smooth, natural feel. Designed for speed and playability, this neck suits a variety of playing styles.
- X SERIES: The remastered X Series is more durable, attractive, and playable than ever. These guitars feature new high-pressure laminate (HPL) patterns, a slimmer neck with a gently beveled edge, and refined string spacing for enhanced comfort.
