Martin X Series LX Koa Little Martin Acoustic Guitar Natural
Small but mighty, the LXK2 Little Martin makes exceptional traveling guitars for high-quality 6-string tunes on the go. Featuring a Koa-grained HPL (high-pressure laminate) on the top, back, sides, and headstock, this compact companion isn't just space-efficient — it sounds fantastic, too! Its fingerboard and bridge are crafted from environmentally-conscious FSC Certified Richlite, with its neck carved from natural-colored Stratabond for an organic, earthy vibe. As is to be expected from the inlay on the headstock, this short-scale is head-to-toe exemplary of that storied and high-quality Martin craftsmanship that you can't find anywhere else. The LXK2 Little Martin is durable and easy to play and makes a perfect "pick up and play" guitar that lets you jam at home or on the road — it's also an excellent choice for students!
Sustainable building materials
One of the most appealing features of the Little Martin LXK2 is how Martin designed it with materials that are simultaneously environmentally sustainable, durable, and more than capable of delivering traditional Martin acoustic tone! The bridge and fingerboard are made with FSC Richlite, a long-lasting composite material that offers old-school Martin tone but with space-age reliability. Richlite is totally unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, making it a perfect choice for musicians who travel often or live in challenging climates. In addition, the koa HPL back and sides deliver a lively sound, and they're far less likely to dry out and crack compared to solid wood designs.
