Martin GPC-13E Ziricote Acoustic Electric Guitar, Richlite, Sitka Spruce Top

Description

Player's Perspective

As premier Martin dealers, we're stoked to present this Martin GPC-13E in a simple yet classically beautiful Natural finish. This guitar marries the pure Martin classic tone with modern features that make jamming, playing out and gigging as a working-class musician very convenient. Right off the bat, the price point is very accessible for a Martin of this quality, especially one that features the all-important Sitka spruce top as a solid tonal foundation. The neck has a satin finish that makes going up and down the neck a breeze, which helps a lot with those fast chord changes. Beyond that, other contemporary features include a soft cutaway make lead playing very easy and improve the guitar's versatility as well as a genuine Fishman pickup system that includes an incredibly convenient built-in tuner. The acoustic players here at the shop hate having to carry a tuner around and this one makes that a no-brainer. 

For a serious Martin workhorse instrument that punches well above its weight with classic looks to boot, check out the GPC-13E.
