Martin GPCXAE Grand Performance Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

When you need a grab-and-go acoustic-electric guitar you can count on, the Martin GPCXAE Grand Performance cutaway is an exceptional choice. Constructed from Martin’s special high-pressure laminate (HPL) and braced with their acclaimed scalloped X-bracing, this exquisitely voiced dreadnought-sized guitar is virtually impervious to heat and humidity, but it sounds better than many similarly priced solid-wood guitars.

High-pressure laminate construction for the traveling player

If you need an acoustic-electric that can travel anywhere and still provide you with the consistent performance and sound that you need, then your Martin GPCXAE is about to become your favorite traveling companion. That’s because its high-pressure-laminate (HPL) construction, laminated birch neck, and Richlite fingerboard all hold true to their shape, even through extreme temperature and humidity changes. At the same time, Martin’s acclaimed scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing ensures the resonance and projection of a top-level instrument, so your go-anywhere guitar will also sound great anywhere you play.

Smooth playability from the Performing Artist series neck

Whether you’re recording for hours or plan to play out late into the night, you’ll be glad you got a Martin GPCXAE. The GPCXAE features one of Martin’s outstanding Performing Artist series necks, and many of the guitarists here absolutely love how easy on the hand its slim profile is, especially if you’re used to playing electric.

Great-sounding Fishman Sonitone electronics

The GPCXAE is equipped with the Fishman Sonitone pickup system, which delivers great-sounding output onstage and in the studio. The Sonitone system puts volume and tone controls directly in the soundhole for easy access.
