The Martin X Series Special 000C-X1E acoustic-electric guitar provides an eco-friendly design with pro-level playability. Its comfortable 000 body and high-performance neck give you effortless access to 20 frets, while the built-in Martin E-1 pickup system ensures a balanced plugged-in tone. Constructed using recycled and sustainable materials like an HPL top and Richlite fingerboard, the Special 000C-X1E sounds as good as it looks.

Versatile Tonewoods

The guitar's spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide a balanced tone with crisp highs, warm lows and impressive projection. The combination gives the Special 000C-X1E a versatile voice that handles many musical styles with ease.

Fast, Comfortable Neck

The Special 000C-X1E's high-performance neck profile and Richlite fingerboard provide fast, effortless playing. A 1-3/4" nut width gives you ample room for complex chords and melodic runs. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro, you'll find the neck extremely playable.

Studio-Ready Electronics

The onboard Martin E-1 pickup system gives you a natural acoustic tone when plugged in. Volume and tone controls sit within easy reach below the soundhole, letting you shape your tone on the fly. An onboard tuner helps you stay in tune for optimal sound. Simply plug into your favorite amp or PA and you'll have professional-grade acoustic tone at your fingertips.

Eco-Friendly Build

Martin constructed the Special 000C-X1E with sustainability in mind. Its HPL top and binding are made from recycled materials, while the Richlite fingerboard comes from FSC-certified wood sources. You can feel good knowing your guitar was built with a lighter environmental footprint.
