Martin Special Birdseye HPL X Series LX Little Martin Acoustic Guitar Cognac

(1)

The stunning Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX was crafted to ensure a full-bodied, lush sound that’s perfect for beginning to professional musicians. Built from famous Martin high-pressure laminate, this acoustic guitar shares many of the tonal characteristics of wood, with enhanced durability and ethical, sustainable material sourcing. Spruce bracing substantiates the guitar’s volume and tone, while a Richlite fingerboard and comfortably carved short-scale neck offer supreme playability. The HPL LX Little Martin in cognac birdseye sounds as good as it looks, and is the ideal acoustic for those seeking the dreadnought experience in a more compact frame.   

Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX Body

Scaled-Down Dreadnought Shape

The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye LX is a dedicated mini dreadnought for campfire singalongs, busking, modest gatherings and travel. As the smallest guitar the brand produces, the HPL LX Little Martin may be scaled down, but it lacks none of the sound of its standard-size brethren. Its deceptively powerful sonic fingerprint is certainly one of a kind, and while beginning players will prefer its shortened scale length and easier playability, veteran guitarists will love how much authentic Martin sound this acoustic guitar produces. Excellent for travel, the LX Little Martin in cognac birdseye additionally makes a great “couch guitar” for more laidback, casual strums.  

Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX Sides

Durable and Sustainable HPL

A defining feature of the Martin LX acoustic guitar is its high-pressure laminate top, back and sides finished in a birdseye maple pattern with a cognac stain. HPL is a durable composite material made from paper and resin that’s topped with an artificial wood pattern for aesthetic purposes—in this case, eye-catching birdseye maple. Using high-pressure laminate lends itself to a sturdier instrument that’s more resistant to climate change, so it’s ideal for touring musicians or those who’d prefer to leave their prized case queen at home. The Martin HPL production process is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, meeting the highest standards of ethical, sustainable production.   

Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX Neck

Specialized Neck Construction

The HPL Cognac Birdseye LX Little Martin incorporates a solid mortise-and-tenon neck joint for unwavering stability and optimal resonance with the guitar’s body. The neck material consists of multiple layers of birch, again pressed and bonded under extremely high pressure for strength and stability. Its FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard is smooth and playable to the touch, offering plenty of definition and sustain from chord to chord and note to note. The X Series Little Martin in cognac birdseye features a modified low oval neck shape with a 23" scale length and 16" radius for effortless fretting all the way across the board.

Ultimate Portability

This special HPL LX Little Martin, with its distinctive cognac birdseye pattern, is the perfect travel buddy. With a smaller body, shorter scale length and included gig bag, it’s an acoustic guitar you can confidently take with you anywhere. Don’t forget that HPL construction doesn’t "breathe" with the elements the same way an all-wood body does, which translates to greater stability when you’re on the move. Dry, humid or anywhere in between, the Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye LX is a reliable acoustic guitar for traveling.   

The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX boasts the impeccable tone of a treasured heirloom acoustic guitar with the cost effectiveness, durability and ethicality of high-pressure laminate. Making no sacrifices in look and feel, the HPL LX Little Martin punches above its price in virtually every category. Whether you’re an aspiring guitarist or an established pro, this exclusive Martin acoustic guitar is bound to become your favorite musical companion. Catch the gorgeous cognac birdseye finish in person at your local Guitar Center, and take home a prized Martin guitar today.

As one of the most recognizable instruments in the world, the acoustic guitar has been around for centuries. Known for its warm, rich sound, the 6-string acoustic guitar makes its home on the stage, in the recording studio and in millions of homes across the globe. Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or are simply in the market for a new instrument, there are lots of options out there when it comes to finding the right 6-string for you. One of the first things to consider is the size and weight of the instrument. If you're just starting out or are a younger musician, you might want to look into a scaled-down version of a full-sized guitar. These instruments typically have a shortened, thinner neck and a smaller body. While they produce similar sound as their larger counterparts, these are much more manageable for smaller hands.

There are also guitars that offer cut-away designs to provide easier access to the upper frets, a definite plus when navigating those higher notes. Another aspect to look at is the construction of the guitar. The soundboard of an acoustic guitar is typically made of tonewoods like spruce and cedar that are chosen for their strength and their ability to transfer sound from the strings into the body of the instrument. It is said that rosewood gives a soulful darker sound while mahogany is helpful in producing sweeter, softer melodies. Taking the time to get to know and experiment with a variety of woods will be exceptionally beneficial when it comes to making your final decision. From intimate coffee house shows to live performances in front thousands of screaming fans, the acoustic guitar brings something special to the lives of all musicians. Taking the time to unplug and get back to the more traditional tones of the 6-string acoustic guitar can give you a whole new perspective the way you play and make music.
