The Martin GPCX2AE features a solid sapele top which produces incredible balance across the tonal spectrum, offering a consistent tone that is well-suited to a wide range of playing styles. Similar to mahogany, the solid sapele top produces a subtle mellow warmth with great resonance. Additionally, sapele's higher density produces a slightly brighter tone with a hint of top-end shimmer. Furthermore, the solid top is attached to macassar patterned HPL back and sides, providing the guitar with a great tone and a stunningly-striking visual appeal. Furthermore, HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is an engineered material, designed specifically to make guitars extremely durable and resistant to humidity, even more so than wood.
Constructed from hand rubbed brown birch laminate, the GPCX2AE's neck adds a unique yet great sonic-character to the guitar's sound whilst offering a smooth platform for the left hand. Additionally, the neck features a performing artist shape and a high performance neck taper for enhanced playability, providing a comfortable playing experience throughout long, enduring sets. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an FSC certified richlite fingerboard that simulates the sonically pleasing nature of ebony, adding sustain a plenty of bite to the overall sound.
Martin's grand performance cutaway body has been constructed to be versatile enough to be able to handle numerous playing styles with ease, specifically built with the performing musician in mind for superb playability. With its beautifully articulate tone, superb projection and volume, as well as versatility, players can achieve numerous genres, playing styles, and techniques with equal ease. Its relatively narrow waist gives the GPCX2AE plenty of balance between the high frequencies and the low frequencies. Additionally, the grand performance body also provides a comfortable playing experience throughout each performance, perfect for long, enduring sets. Furthermore, with its venetian cutaway profile, the GPCX2AE provides the player with added comfort and easier access to upper frets, offering freedom to perform and practice more technical skills.
Equipped with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp, the Martin GPCX2AE is ideal for live performance and studio environments. The preamp is also subtly mounted within the soundhole, and offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. In addition the quality Fishman preamp is versatile, responsive, and features rotary controls for tone and volume. With this, the player can shape their sound by simply plugging in to an amplifier or PA system and tweaking the tone control to personal preference, perfect for the performing musician.
Scalloped bracing stops the guitar from collapsing under string tension and shapes the guitar's sound, allowing the top to vibrate more freely yet remains incredibly stable. Scalloped bracing also provides more emphasis to the bass response of the guitar and has been rewarded for enhancing the guitar top production.
Please note: Martin do not ship their guitars with the strap button installed on the bottom of the guitar. They do this to avoid any impact cracks that may occur during shipping. You can find your strap button inside the case compartment.
