Martin GPCX1E X Series Grand Performance Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Black

The Martin GPCX1E acoustic-electric guitar makes playing smooth and comfortable while looking sleek in an all-black design. With over 1,000 sheets of satin black high-pressure laminate (HPL) comprising its top, back and sides, the GPCX1E is built to withstand the rigors of stage use night after night. Martin refined the neck shape and fingerboard for effortless playability, and the modern belly bridge provides a natural feel. Plug in to hear your tone amplified with the Martin E-1 electronics, featuring easy-access volume, tone and phase controls, plus a built-in chromatic tuner. The lightweight GPCX1E lets your music take center stage.

A Sleek Black HPL Body That Stands Up to the Stage

Pieced together using over 1,000 sheets of durable high-pressure laminate (HPL), the GPCX1E’s top, back and sides have a smooth black finish that resists scratches and wear. HPL is incredibly strong, so your guitar will look pristine gig after gig. The deep cutaway grants comfortable access to the highest notes. Weighing only five pounds, the GPCX1E is easy to transport and comfortable to wear on stage all night. The Grand Performance body produces a balanced tone with rich lows and bright highs.

With Smoother Playability From the Performing Artist Neck Profile

The GPCX1E’s neck features Martin’s Performing Artist profile which feels smooth and fast in your hands. Coupled with the belly bridge redesigned for enhanced comfort, you can play chords and lead lines with ease. The fingerboard has a gently beveled edge and refined string spacing for fatigue-free practicing and performing. The slim taper neck with its smooth satin finish lets your fingers glide up and down the maple fingerboard to reach every note accurately.

A Belly Bridge That Provides a Natural Feel

The modern belly bridge is designed to feel familiar and comfortable against your strumming hand. The curved shape allows a natural wrist angle as you play, reducing tension. Whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming, the belly bridge helps your hand find the ideal position to produce your best tone.

With Martin E-1 Electronics and Tuner for Amplified Tone

The Martin E-1 electronics accurately reproduce the GPCX1E’s natural acoustic tone when plugged in. Simple volume, tone and phase controls let you shape your amplified sound, while the chromatic tuner makes quick tuning adjustments easy. Just plug in and you’re ready to impress crowds with your robust amplified acoustic guitar tone.
