Full Description
View Full DescriptionBrilliantly broad range
Crafted with a gorgeous set of tonewoods, the GPCX2AE can give you warmth and brightness in equal measure. Macassar patterned high-pressure laminate used for the guitar's back and sides brings wonderful depth. Your low-end notes will all sound full and rich. This way of treating the wood also makes the guitar extremely durable, making it ideal to take out on the road.
Brightness and a far-reaching dynamic range is brought by a solid sapele wood top. This is masterful at bringing mid-range notes into full voice, and communicating high notes with precision and sharpness. Wherever you're playing along the scale, you'll sound fantastic.
Crystal-clear amplified sound
An electronic system that retains your natural acoustic warmth and resonance. The Martin GPCX2AE comes fitted with a superb Fishman Sonitone preamp that delivers everything you play with industry-leading clarity.
Many electro acoustic pickup systems fail to provide authentic acoustic sound when playing at high volume. This is not a problem you'll ever have with the GPCX2AE. The Sonitone's active electronic pickup system is designed to communicate your guitar's exact voice at high output. This makes the guitar superb for live performance in larger venues. It's an instrument that'll never make you sacrifice warmth or fidelity.
Tone that's always crisp and sharp
Benefit from superb definition in your music. The GPCX2AE has a richlite fingerboard, perfect for adding sharpness to every note that you play. Richlite has been intricately designed to provide a stronger, more consistent alternative to standard tonewoods. It's extremely long-lasting, resistant to warping, and delivers tremendous tone that makes your music sound brilliantly clear, no matter the pitch you're playing at.
Magnificent comfort
Martin have used all of their amazing guitar-crafting prowess to ensure that this is one of their most playable guitars yet. They've equipped the GPCX2AE with a high performance tapered neck, making sure that it'll always feel comfortable in your frethand. Thanks to this, you can play on for long studio sessions, practices, or live performances.
Concentrate on your creativity
This is a guitar that'll always help you to perform at your best. You can play all the way to the top of the guitar's scale thanks to a cutaway body shape. You'll never be restricted again by a clunky body preventing you from hitting notes at the top of the fretboard.
You can move up and down it quickly, too. The GPCX2AE's neck has a hand-rubbed finish, making it more slick and smooth. Your hand can glide along it with ease. Perfect for fast-paced chord sequences. All barriers to your playing have been removed, meaning you can focus entirely on your music.
