The Martin & Co DX-K2 is a dreadnought acoustic guitar that's mostly made out of koa HPL, which is from a unique tree. Like all Martin guitars, this was made here in the USA and it doesn't have any pick ups or electronics since it's just an acoustic. There's no pick guard on here, adding to the overall beautifully smooth finish...


UTILIZATION

The playability of the Martin & Co DX-K2 is top notch. It's got a beautiful feel that goes hand in hand with the great finish on this guitar. It’s not a hard instrument to play, as it feels pretty close to about as fluid as you’ll find. I love the overall look to this guitar as well…



SOUNDS

The sound of the Martin & Co DX-K2 is warm and full, definitely having it’s own sound while still be characteristic of a Martin guitar. It’s not too bright sounding and is overall quite well balanced in my opinion. I’ve only used it just messing around with it, but would love to get to record with it soon. If you know how to play a bit, I really don’t think you’ll have any issues getting a good sound out of this guitar.


OVERALL OPINION

The Martin & Co DX-K2 seems to be one of the best guitars that Martin has to offer in this price range, or is at least one of the best that I’ve played. I haven’t had a chance to record with this guitar as I’ve only played it a bit at friend’s place. I’m hoping to get to do some recording with it in the near future, as I’m positive it’s sound will be very nice on recording. If you’re a bit more experience and are looking to pick up a beautiful guitar that will last you a long time, the Martin & Co DX-K2 is definitely one to keep an eye on.
