Martin GPC-X2E Grand Performance Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural Cocobolo

Martin introduced the X Series line with the aim of producing an acoustic guitar from more eco-friendly materials while still retaining all the earmarks of a Martin guitar: superlative design; impeccable tone; and instant playability. The GPCX2 continues this vision in grand fashion. This Grand Performance body is made from a Sitka spruce top with a cocobolo HPL back and sides for bold, balanced tone and stellar projection. A select hardwood neck and fingerboard offer smooth playability and response, and the deep cutaway gives you access to those higher notes and exploratory chordings. When you are ready to plug in, onboard Martin E-1 electronics kick out gorgeous amplified tone.

Smooth playability from the Performing Artist series neck

Whether you’re recording for hours or plan to play late into the night, the Performing Artist series neck is ideal for its comfort and smooth response. The slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play extended sessions without fatigue.

Fine appointments and detailed craftsmanship

Other fine appointments on the GPCX2 include X-bracing for tone support and longevity. There’s also a stunning 28-dot white inlay on the fingerboard and a single-ring abalone pattern soundhole. A genuine white Corian nut provides further tonal support and a great aesthetic to this outstanding instrument.
