Martin Guitar GPC-11E

Martin GPC-11E Acoustic Guitar With Cutaway And Pickup Including Soft Case!

The timeless tone and legacy of Martin's acoustic innovations are embodied in the affordable Martin GPC-11E Road Series, a model known for outstanding playability. This acoustic-electric features Martin's comfortable Grand Performance body, built from solid spruce and sapele for premium projection and resonance, and a Performing Artist cutaway neck that delivers unobstructed access to the frets and superb playability. Beautiful mother-of-pearl adorns the soundhole rosette and the fretboard along its entire length. Plus, with the built-in Martin E1 electronics, this guitar is stage-ready.

The forward-focused, balanced tone of the GPC-11E comes from its Grand Performance body. This shape delivers excellent projection and focus with a warmth that neither booms in the low end nor becomes harsh in the highs. That tone suits delicate fingerstyle nuances as well as full-chord strumming. The Grand Performance size gives you more low-end depth than 000 models while remaining extremely comfortable for marathon gigs.

With the onboard Martin E1 electronics you can quickly connect to your preferred acoustic amp, your recording interface, or even a venue's PA system. Players will appreciate the E1's tone, volume, and phase-invert controls, which let you faithfully amplify the fullness and warmth of your instrument while shaping the sound to taste. The E1's phase-invert button is especially useful for avoiding troublesome feedback in tight spaces when you must stand near your amp. The E1 also includes an integrated tuner, so you can tune without plugging in — equally effortless on stage or on the couch.

Be warned: you won't want to put it down — nothing compares to a Martin.
