Martin GPC Special Birdseye HP Grand Performance Acoustic-Electric Guitar Cognac
In Stock
Description
The stunning Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series GPC was crafted to ensure a full-bodied, lush sound that?s perfect for singer-songwriters, touring musicians and session players. Built from famous Martin high-pressure laminate, this acoustic-electric guitar shares many of the tonal characteristics of wood, with enhanced durability and ethical, sustainable material sourcing. Spruce bracing substantiates the guitar?s volume and tone, while onboard electronics offer the ability to amplify your performance to a larger audience. Additionally, with a Richlite fingerboard and comfortably carved neck, the HPL Grand Performance Cutaway in cognac birdseye plays as well as it looks.
Contemporary GPC Shape
The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye GPC (Grand Performance Cutaway) is one of the most contemporary shapes that the legendary company introduced in 2010. While it roughly compares to a dreadnought in overall size, it prominently features a single cutaway and a rounder, less boxy shape. Tonally, these alterations lead to a more balanced sound across the frequency spectrum with less boom than you?d find in a dreadnought. The cutaway creates a better opening for upper-fret access, and internal spruce X-bracing completes the unique sonic signature of the Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye GPC.
Durable and Sustainable HPL
A defining feature of the Martin X Series Grand Performance Cutaway acoustic-electric guitar is its high-pressure laminate top, back and sides finished in a birdseye maple pattern with a cognac stain. HPL is a durable composite material made from paper and resin that?s topped with an artificial wood pattern for aesthetic purposes?in this case, eye-catching birdseye maple. Using high-pressure laminate lends itself to a sturdier instrument that?s more resistant to climate change, so it?s ideal for touring musicians or those who?d prefer to leave their prized case queen at home. The Martin HPL production process is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, meeting the highest standards of ethical, sustainable production.
Specialized Neck Construction
The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye GPC incorporates a solid mortise-and-tenon neck joint for unwavering stability and optimal resonance with the guitar?s body. The neck material consists of multiple layers of birch, again pressed and bonded under extremely high pressure for strength and stability. Its FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard is smooth and playable to the touch, offering plenty of definition and sustain from chord to chord and note to note. The X Series GPC in cognac birdseye features a Martin high-performance neck shape with a 25.4″ scale length and 16″ radius for effortless fretting all the way across the board.
Fishman MX-T Electronics
The X Series acoustic-electric GPC with an HPL body and cognac birdseye finish amplifies sound using Fishman MX-T electronics. This pickup system consists of a discreetly soundhole-mounted preamp with rotary volume and tone controls, as well as a built-in tuner. Simply plug in, make some quick adjustments, and you?ll have an incredibly rich and dynamic acoustic-electric tone right out of the box, capturing the nuance of a resonant acoustic guitar with the projection required for live performance.
The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series GPC boasts the impeccable tone of a treasured heirloom acoustic guitar with the cost effectiveness, durability and ethicality of high-pressure laminate. Making no sacrifices in look and feel, the HPL X Series GPC punches above its price in virtually every category.
