Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle X Series, D-14 Fret, Acoustic Electric
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, it features a fast, comfortable 1940s neck profile with a 1 11/16″ nut width—offered here for the first time in the X Series. A vintage sunburst top, custom oval tuner buttons, and moon phase inlays bring Molly’s artistry and individuality to life. Figured mahogany HPL back and sides ensure durability across any climate, while scalloped X-bracing and a solid spruce top provide clear, articulate tone. Nickel open gear tuners, a softshell case, and Martin E1 electronics round out the details, making this a true signature model that brings Molly’s style and player-focused specs within reach of more musicians.
