The Martin D-X2E Billy Strings is inspired by Billy’s love for his pre-war era D-28, offering a more accessible option for both fans and players. It features the same unique 25” scale and a custom nut width as its high-end counterpart, making it easier to play fast, intricate lines without sacrificing comfort.

Built with HPL back and sides featuring a Brazilian rosewood pattern and a solid spruce top, this Dreadnought delivers a powerful, resonant tone, perfect for both traditional and modern acoustic styles. The nickel open-gear tuners, ebony fingerboard with faux abalone inlays, and 28-style rosette add a classic touch, while the Martin E1 electronics and built-in tuner ensure it’s stage-ready.

Completed with a hemp soft case, the D-X2E Billy Strings is a durable, reliable instrument that reflects Billy’s passion for pushing boundaries and blending genres. Each guitar includes a custom paper tag with a pre-printed signature and a Billy graphic.
