The Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle delivers Molly’s signature look and feel in an accessible, road-ready package. Inspired by her 1943 D-18, this guitar features a fast, comfortable 1940s-style neck with a nut width of 1 11/16" – a first for the X Series. A vintage sunburst top, custom oval tuners, and moon phase inlays bring Molly's talent and personality to life. The figured mahogany pattern HPL back and sides ensure durability in any climate, while the scalloped X-bracing and solid spruce top provide a clear, precise tone. Nickel open-gear tuners, a soft gig bag, and Martin E1 electronics round out the appointments, making this a true signature guitar that puts Molly's style and playability-focused features within reach of every player.
