SKU: GPCX2E-03

Product Description

The X series is entry-point into the world of full-size Martin guitars. Featuring a macassar-pattern high-pressure laminate body (HPL), a sapele top for a punchy midrange tone, and Fishman MX electronics, the GPC-X2E Macassar offers a piece of Martin's famous craftsmanship at a more affordable price.

Grand Performance Body

The Grand Performance body shape is a true all-rounder. Unlike larger body shapes like dreadnoughts and jumbos, you get a more balanced sound across the frequency range so it's great for a wide range of genres. There's also a cutaway letting you access the higher frets with ease. The slightly smaller body shape and versatile tone make the Grand Performance body suitable for both fingerstyle and strumming alike.

Performing Artist Series Neck

Whether you're recording for hours or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin X Series guitar. The X Series features Martin's outstanding Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.

Fishman MX Electronics

This guitar is ready to perform thanks to the built-in Fishman MX electronics. The Fishman MX is a simple plug-in-and-play solution and features a discrete preamp with volume and tone controls mounted on the soundhole. Whether you're performing live into an amp/PA, or you're recording into an audio interface, the GPC-X2E Macassar is ready to go right out of the box!

Mr daniel ingle20th Aug 2022

Just a few odd design choices. The strap button on the bottom has to be installed. What the hell martin guitars! Just install in the factory Doesn't come with a truss rod adjustment tool. The truss rod is a bit finicky to get to. Beyond that it's a nice guitar. Sounds good. Decent neck in the goldilocks zone. Nice fishman pickup and decent tuners and nut. For the money it feels good. The size of it is just right, not a golliath dreadnought, it's comftable to play. Sturdy body. The neck was a bit front bowed. Truss rod was a bit loose, but the after an adjustment it was all good.
