Martins Road Series line of guitars features a blend of the legendary Martin tone with solid-wood construction and lightning-fast playability. The Martin GPCRSGT Grand Performance cutaway acoustic electric guitar was designed for the player that is searching for incredible tone and playability, at an affordable price.Its all solid-wood construction produces a tone that will rival some of the most expensive guitars made today. To start with, Martin selected a Sitka spruce top as the basis of the tone engine. They chose Sitka spruce because its a very expressive tonewood that produces the right amount of tone, volume, and dynamics. To augment the crisp tone of the Sitka spruce, the back and sides is fashioned of solid sapele mahogany. Sapele adds just the right amount of crispness and bass to the sound of the guitar. Unlike laminate or layered woods that are stiff and lack bottom end and resonance, a solid wood instrument has crystal clear highs, a punchy bottom end, and lots of sustain. The Martin GPCRSGT is designed using the Grand Performance body. The GP body is a little deeper than your typical 000 or OM guitar. The 4.5 in. depth gives you added volume, while producing an even tone across the entire musical spectrum. The combination of tonewoods and body produces an instrument that is extremely expressive and dynamic. It will have all the power of a dreadnought, blended with all the balance of a smaller auditorium-sized guitar. Playability is a must for many of todays musical styles, and Martin got you covered. The GPCRSGT has one of the most comfortable necks on the market. The slimmer profile and taper lets you glide across the neck with ease. You will be able to make a smooth transition from your electric guitar to this acoustic. And as an added bonus, the GPCRSGT was precision setup with one of Martins Plek machines. As one of the last steps in final setup process, Martin uses the Plek machine to give you the ultimate gBodyBody type:Grand Performance14 Fret CutawayCutaway:Single cutawayTop wood:SolidSitka SpruceBack & sides:Sapele Bracing pattern:Hybrid X ScallopedBody finish:SatinOrientation:Right handedNeckNeck shape:Performing Artist ProfileNut width:1.75 (44.45mm)Fingerboard:Black RichliteNeck wood:Select HardwoodScale length:25.4Number of frets:20Neck finish:SatinElectronicsPickup/preamp:YesBrand:FishmanConfiguration:Soundhole mounted preampPreamp EQ:NoFeedback filter:NoTuner:NoOtherHeadstock overlay: East Indian Rosewood Pattern HPLTuning machines:ChromeEnclosed with small buttonsBridge:Black RichliteSaddle & nut:White CoriianCompnensated/White TusqNumber of strings:6-stringSpecial features:NoneCase:Hardshell caseAccessories:NoneCountry Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, 6 String Acoustic Guitars Martin J28914.001 10GPCRSGT Martin, 6 String Acoustic Guitars |
