The D-X1 Black is an affordable acoustic Dreadnought model available in a striking all-black colorway. The body's top, back, and sides are made of high-pressure laminate (HPL), a durable material that doesn't sacrifice the classic Martin tone you know and love. This sleek, special addition to the X Series lineup includes playability enhancements like a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth and comfortable playing experience. Its iconic and versatile body size is loud and projective with strong bass, lending itself to any genre, from folk to bluegrass to rock to country and everything in between. It also features chrome closed gear tuning machines, a birch laminate neck with Richlite_ fingerboard, and a herringbone pattern around the rosette. All X Series models come with a softshell case.OverviewRecommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan_ 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - MediumBody Size: D-14 FretFinish Top: NoneConstruction: Mortise Tenon Neck JointBack and Side Finish: NoneBracing Pattern: X-BraceScale Length: 25.4"Brace Shape: ScallopedFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3/4''Top Material: Black HPLNeck Shape: PA ProfileBack Material: Black HPLNeck Taper: High-Performance TaperSide Material: Black HPLElectronics: NoneTopTop Color: NoneBridge Style: Sloped Modern BellyBinding: NoneBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Bridge Material: Richlite_Top Detail: NoneBridge Pin Material: White PlasticPickguard: NoneBridge Pin Dots: Black PlasticPickguard Inlay: NoneSaddle: Black TusqRosette: Pad Printed HerringboneSaddle Radius: 16"BodyBrace Material: SpruceBack and Sides Color: NoneBrace Size: 5/16"Back Detail: NoneBack Purfling/Strip: NoneBack Inlay Material: NoneHeelcap: Black BoltaronSide Detail: NoneEndpiece: NoneSide Inlay Material: NoneEndpiece Inlay: NoneNeckNeck Material: Birch LaminateFingerboard Material: Richlite_Finish N
