~ Martin Road Series ~ The GPC-13E Modern is a new generation Road Series guitar that blends traditional Martin sound with modern design and playability. Featuring a Grand Performance cutaway body, this electric-acoustic guitar combines rich volume, well-balanced tone, and comfortable playability. The top is made of solid spruce, offering a clear, responsive attack and a well-balanced sound that suits a wide range of playing styles. The sides and back are made of fine koa-patterned veneer, resulting in a sound with sparkling highs and rich mids. The beautiful koa-like wood grain is also one of the major attractions of this model. The guitar features scalloped X-bracing internally. By carving out the bracing, it enhances the vibration of the top, contributing to improved volume and response. Combined with the rich bass tones unique to the Grand Performance body, you can enjoy a sound that is expansive when strummed and has a clear, defined tone when fingerpicking. The neck features a Performing Artist profile and High-Performance Taper, offering both a comfortable grip and smooth fingering, providing comfortable support for everything from chord work to playing in the higher positions. The fingerboard is made of ebony, and modern design details such as diamond and square inlays and white binding are incorporated throughout. The guitar features a Martin E1 pickup system. In addition to volume and tone controls, it also has a built-in tuner in the soundhole, making it easy to use for live performances and solo acoustic sets. Furthermore, the guitar features a component configuration that prioritizes both aesthetics and practicality, including Ratio open-gear tuners and an ebony bridge. With its striking koa-toned look, rich acoustic resonance, and modern playability, this new Martin Grand Performance model excels in a wide range of settings, from home practice to live performances.Model: GPC-13E Modern Series: Road Series Body Shape: Grand Performance 14-Fret Cutaway Top: Solid Spruce Back & Sides: Koa Fine Veneer Bracing: Scalloped X-Brace Neck: Select Hardwood / Performing Artist Profile Neck Taper: High-Performance Taper Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Scale Length: 25.4 inches (645 mm) Nut Width: 1-3/4" (44.5mm) Nut: White Corian Saddle: White TUSQ Tuning Machines: Ratio Nickel Open Gear Electronics: Martin E1 Case: Softshell Case
