Cutting edge electro-acoustic technology
The Martin GPC-13E is a luxurious and vintage style acoustic guitar, with all the perks of modern technology. Equipped with Martin’s own MX-T Electronic system, you’ll be able to plug into any amp or PA system to translate your sound to the masses like never before. Designed to remain faithful to the natural tone of your guitar, you can also take matters into your own hands with the tone control, which allows you to mould the sound of your guitar from a thicker, more rounded voice to a more mid-range cut ideal for fingerpicking. What’s more, the electronic system also includes a built-in tuner, so that you can keep on top of your tuning at all times.
The technology within this guitar extends much further than mere electronics. Underneath the surface is a scalloped spruce X-bracing, which shifts the sound of the guitar around the body, creating a natural resonance which allows for an enhanced projection of the guitar’s acoustic voice.
Built by the best
When it comes to acoustic guitar design, there aren’t many who do it better than Martin. Hand-crafted using meticulously selected tonewoods, every aspect of this guitar has been designed with care. The spruce top is commonly used by expert guitar makers across the globe for both its physical strength and tonal stability, providing a richness and natural warmth to the sound of your guitar which will reward you over time and multiple uses. Paired with gorgeous ziricote fine veneer back and sides which offer a sturdy base, the body of this guitar ensures a premium sound and feel alongside an industry standard physical stability. This guitar has been made with a guarantee to leave you feeling satisfied after every session, and will stick with you for a long time.
Featuring a hardwood neck with a FSC Certified Richlite fingerboard which is designed with both durability and comfort in mind, you’ll have access to a supreme playing experience. Acoustically acclaimed for their dynamic tones and inherent stability, Richlite fingerboards are very easy to maintain and offer a natural aesthetic that complements the visual tone of the rest of the guitar. Complete with a hand rubbed gloss finish, you’ll know as soon as you pick up and play that every inch of this instrument has been built by the best.
A luxurious look
Finished with a classic sunburst cutaway design, this guitar looks as if it was made to be placed next to the roaring fireplace of a countryside mansion. An inherently high-class aesthetic follows most Martin guitars, and this one is no different. As functional as it is eye-catching, the Martin GPC-13E will settle into any room, or onto any stage upon which it is placed.
