NAMM 2024: Martin may be associated with high-end acoustic guitars but it has long championed an expanding line at the more accessible end. Central to this is its X Series, and it's just gone a 'remastered' a batch of models. And it turns out, there's real substance behind that word here.
The remastering breaks down to what Martin details as a number of improvements in playability and cosmetics. On the latter side, new High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) patterns make for some eye-catching looks with cocobolo, ziricote, and Brazilian rosewood joining mahogany, koa, and all-black.
