Features
The Martin DX2E Billy Strings is an acoustic-electric guitar created as a more accessible signature model for Grammy-winning bluegrass artist Billy Strings, sharing key playability features with his high-end D-28 signature model.
It's part of Martin's X Series, known for combining solid tops with durable, high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides.
Key Features of the D-X2E Billy Strings
The guitar is a Dreadnought (D-14 Fret) that includes several custom specs favored by Billy Strings:
| Feature | Specification | Detail |
| Scale Length | 25 inches | This is a unique, slightly shorter scale length than Martin's standard Dreadnought (25.4 inches). It results in lower string tension, making the guitar feel "slinkier" and easier to fret and bend, which is ideal for the fast, nimble playing style of Billy Strings. |
| Nut Width | 1-23/32 inches (43.65mm) | This custom width is slightly wider than typical, providing a comfortable feel for intricate fingerpicking and rapid bluegrass flatpicking runs. |
| Top Wood | Solid Spruce | Provides a bright, articulate tone with good projection. |
| Back & Sides | Brazilian Rosewood-Patterned HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) | HPL is a rugged material, making the guitar more durable and stable against temperature changes, perfect for travel and gigging. The rosewood pattern gives it a classic look. |
| Neck Profile | Modified Low Oval with Standard Taper | A comfortable profile for speed and smooth transitions. |
| Fingerboard & Bridge | Ebony | A premium material that offers a smooth playing surface. |
| Electronics | Martin E1 System (or Fishman MX-T) | Includes a reliable under-saddle pickup and a discreet built-in soundhole tuner that mutes the output when tuning. |
| Aesthetics | Style 28 rosette, faux abalone diamond and square inlays, and nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs, lending a vintage-inspired look. | |
| Case | Includes a custom Hemp Softshell Case. |
The D-X2E Billy Strings is designed to be a rugged, road-ready instrument that delivers a powerful, booming tone perfect for both traditional and modern acoustic styles, reflecting the artist's boundary-pushing sound.
