adjusted to the playing height that you prefer . I did find the guitar to be very capo friendly , which is a must when playing in odd keys for worship music .
Martin Guitars has also added a DC-X2E Brazilian 12-string to the X-Series , but it is $ 749 . For my money the D-X2E 12-string is the best value at $ 699 unless you need deeper access up the neck for inversion chords or melody lines . Personally , I tend to strum with a 12-string and do frequent pick throughs of chords to add to the Praise and Worship song textures .
The Martin D-X2E also includes a padded Martin gig bag . If you are in the market for a 12-string this is one of the best values out there considering the features , built-in electronics , tuner , sound quality and playability
