The Martin X Series guitars are among the most affordable Martins. Martin uses some innovative and environmentally friendly materials in constructing the X Series guitars. Aside from the laminated tops, backs, and sides, these include Stratabond, a laminated hardwood used on necks to resist warping. Harpiks-basert Richlite gripebrett og stol tåler mange års "hard playing". Acoustic-electric-modellene har Fishman Sonitone elektronikk, som er plug-and-play; enkelt og greit når man skal plugge gitaren inn i forsterker eller PA.
