*New 2026 NAMM Model* Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle Spruce/HPL Mahogany Dreadnought Guitar w/Martin Electronics #6135

The Martin D-X2E Molly Tuttle brings the spirit of a signature artist model into a durable, stage-ready dreadnought that more players can enjoy. Inspired by Molly’s vintage 1943 D-18, this 2026 NAMM model pairs a solid spruce top with figured mahogany HPL back and sides for a voice that is clear, balanced, and dependable in changing environments. The spruce top delivers the articulation and dynamic range players expect from a Martin dreadnought, while the HPL construction adds stability for travel, touring, and everyday use. With scalloped X bracing and a 25.4 inch scale, this acoustic electric guitar projects with confidence and responds easily to both strumming and flatpicking.

From a player’s standpoint, the feel is what sets this model apart. The 1 11/16 inch nut width and vintage inspired 1941 neck shape create a fast, comfortable platform for bluegrass runs, rhythm work, and lead lines. An ebony fingerboard and bridge keep the attack clean and focused, while the compensated White Tusq saddle helps maintain clarity and intonation across all 20 frets. Finished in a warm vintage sunburst with a satin top and hand-applied neck finish, this Martin D-X2E offers a broken-in feel right out of the case without sacrificing modern reliability.

Signature details give this guitar its own identity. Custom moon phase inlays on the fingerboard reflect Molly Tuttle’s artistry, paired with nickel open gear tuners and a classic faux tortoise pickguard for a timeless look. On stage, Martin E1 electronics provide a natural amplified tone with a built-in tuner for quick adjustments. Included with a softshell case, the D-X2E Molly Tuttle is an ideal choice for players searching for a Martin dreadnought acoustic electric, a road-ready bluegrass guitar, or a signature model that blends inspiration, playability, and durability into one accessible instrument.
