Martin GPCE Inception Acoustic-Electric Guitar Amber Fade Sunburst

Martin Guitars continues their commitment to combine beauty, tone and sustainability with the GPCE Inception. Bringing together a concern for nature and a devotion to great acoustic guitar tone, the Martin GPCE Inception features a unique skeletonized scalloped bracing, internal sonic channels and combines domestically abundant, sustainable tonewoods. This design enhances resonance, clarity and tonal balance, while delivering stunning looks and a welcoming, easy-playing feel.

Advanced Bracing Design

To get the most out of this new generation of tonewood, Martin had to revisit traditional bracing design, which originated to get the desired tones from traditional guitar woods. Since every wood has unique sonic properties, it only makes sense that the GPCE Inception's bracing would be optimized for the woods being used. This new design—a skeletonized honeycomb X-bracing that reduces mass while retaining needed structural support—works with sonic channels inside the body to increase sustain and volume, enhancing tone and dynamic range beyond the average maple acoustic.

Electronics That Sing

For the pickup system of the GPCE Inception, Martin chose the award-winning L.R. Baggs Anthem. Combining a proprietary condenser microphone with the acclaimed Element pickup, this system delivers the warmth and fidelity of a studio-miked guitar in any size venue. The Anthem also features a proprietary mounting system and noise cancellation, which increase its utility for both studio recording and live performance. Providing excellent clarity and balanced frequency response, it ensures that the balanced, natural sound of your Inception will always be loud and clear.
