Martin Guitar has debuted its remastered X series lineup. This update brings a fresh approach to Martin’s guitar design, featuring new high-pressure laminate (HPL) patterns and playability enhancements. Comfortable and responsive, the X series features a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge, refined string spacing and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth playing experience. The remastered X series also features headplates that match the respective HPL patterns, satin tuners, refined rosettes and Martin E-1 electronics with a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone and phase controls. X1 models feature HPL bodies, Stratabond necks and Richlite fingerboards and bridges, while X2 models feature satin-finished spruce tops, HPL backs and sides, and select hardwood necks, fingerboards and bridges.
