collapse expand iconDescription

The Martin GPC-X1E Grand Performance acoustic-electric guitar provides discerning players with resonant tone, comfort and onboard electronics at an accessible price. Its spruce-braced Hawaiian koa high-pressure laminate top, mortise-and-tenon neck joint and scalloped X-bracing deliver the rich sound Martin is renowned for. The performance-focused neck offers speed, comfort and dexterity along its Richlite fingerboard.

Hawaiian Koa HPL Top Produces Powerful Tone

The spruce-braced Hawaiian koa HPL top and scalloped X-bracing provide the articulate tone and robust volume Martin guitars are known for. Notes ring true and sustain fully, with a balanced frequency response across the tonal spectrum. The koa pattern HPL contributes clarity and projection, allowing this guitar to fill a room with inspiring tone.

Mortise-and-Tenon Neck Joint Enhances Resonance

The mortise-and-tenon neck joint offers a solid construction platform that maximizes resonance and minimizes dead spots. Notes sing clearly from the first fret to the neck joint and beyond. The laminate birch neck provides stability and sustain. Together, these design elements allow this guitar to produce full, resonant tone.

High-Performance Neck Profile Facilitates Smooth Playability

The high-performance neck profile provides a familiar, comfortable feel for intricate chords and melodic lines. Its 25.4" scale length and 1.69" nut width strike an ergonomic balance, while its 16" radius allows smooth playability across all six strings. The profile gives you the speed and dexterity required for any style.

Onboard Electronics Provide Plug-and-Play Convenience

The Martin E-1 pickup system features controls for volume and tone mounted under the sound hole for plug-and-play convenience. The onboard tuner allows you to stay in tune and quickly adjust for peak performance. Simply connect to an amplifier or PA system and adjust the controls to your liking for full, natural tone when amplified.
