Martin X-Series GP-X2E Ziricote GP-14 Fret - Sapele Top with Zircote Back and Sides

---

GP-X2E Ziricote

Available for a limited time, the GP-X2E Ziricote Special is an exciting addition to the X Series, expanding the lineup with a Grand Performance model that blends comfort, versatility, and bold sound. Designed to strike a balance between a Dreadnought and a 000, this guitar offers strong projection, a dynamic voice, and a balanced low end, making it a great choice for a variety of playing styles. A solid sapele top provides warmth and punchy midrange, while ziricote-patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides add durability and eye-catching style. Inside, scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, and a hand-applied finish gives the guitar a natural, understated aesthetic. The Performing Artist neck profile with a high-performance taper ensures a comfortable and effortless playing experience. When it’s time to plug in, Martin E1 electronics offer volume, tone, and phase controls for shaping your sound, plus a built-in chromatic tuner for quick, silent tuning. With satin chrome enclosed gear tuners for rock-steady stability and a softshell case included, this guitar is truly made to play—wherever inspiration strikes.
