The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nearly 200 years of building expertise. Signature tonal balance. Construction proven across generations.
Light gauge strings let the legendary bracing shine. Play daily - the top opens beautifully with age.
Martin has defined what an acoustic guitar should sound like for nearly two centuries. Warm, balanced tone that cuts through effortlessly. The kind of guitar that makes you want to write songs.

DC-X2E
This Dreadnought sized model features a cutaway body with a spruce top and high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides. New mother-of-pearl pattern inlay on the rosette and fingerboard lend a richness to the DC-X2E Macassar, making it as impressive to look at as it is to play. With a Performing Artist neck, fingerboard, and bridge of select hardwood, the sound transfer of this model has been greatly improved. It is equipped with Fishman® MX electronics and strung with Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings. With a new, soft gig bag featuring headstock, bridge, and endpin protectors, a durable water-repellent exterior, and foam padding, this model is ready to go anywhere.
