Finding the right left-handed acoustic shouldn't mean settling for fewer choices. The Martin 00-X2E Cocobolo Left-Handed brings genuine Martin character, comfortable 00-sized playability, stage-ready electronics, and striking Cocobolo-inspired looks together in an instrument made to be played every day.
At Northeast Music Center, we especially like what Martin has accomplished with the current X Series. The 00-X2E combines a hand-rubbed satin solid spruce top with Cocobolo-pattern HPL back and sides, giving players the responsiveness of a wood soundboard along with the stability and durability that have made the X Series such a practical choice.
Comfortable Size. Real Martin Character.
The 00 body is one of the real attractions here. Smaller and more intimate than a dreadnought, it sits naturally against the player and works beautifully for fingerstyle, light-to-moderate strumming, songwriting, practice, and performing. Its 24.9" scale also contributes to a comfortable feel under the fingers.
Tonally, the spruce top helps deliver definition and clarity while the compact 00 body produces a nicely balanced voice with clear trebles and a warm bass response. Scalloped X-bracing allows the top to respond freely, giving this X Series Martin a musical personality that goes well beyond simply being a durable, affordable acoustic.
Martin has also paid considerable attention to playability. The PA Profile neck and High-Performance Taper create a contemporary feel, while the thinner fingerboard, gently beveled comfort edge, refined string spacing, and modernized bridge contour make the guitar inviting for extended playing.
Ready to Plug In
Martin E-1 electronics make the 00-X2E equally useful away from the living room. The system provides volume, tone, and phase controls along with a built-in chromatic tuner, giving the player straightforward control for rehearsals, worship settings, open mics, recording, or live performance.
And because this is the dedicated left-handed version, left-handed players aren't being asked to adapt to an instrument designed around somebody else.
The 00-X2E Cocobolo Left-Handed is an excellent choice for the player who wants Martin tone and feel in a compact, comfortable and highly practical acoustic-electric—without treating left-handed players as an afterthought.
