Martin GPC-X2E Ziricote - Natural

This Martin GPC-X2E Ziricote is a tone machine built for the modern player, blending classic Martin sound with durable, innovative materials. The Grand Performance body shape, with its comfortable cutaway, is designed to be projective and balanced, providing plenty of volume and a rich, full sound. The top is crafted from solid sapele, a tonewood that offers a clear, focused midrange and lively overtones, giving your tone a slightly warmer, more rounded feel than spruce, with a strong fundamental note. This means your chords will ring out with complexity, and your fingerpicking will reveal nuanced harmonic detail.

The sides and back feature eye-catching ziricote-patterned High-Pressure Laminate (HPL). While HPL enhances the guitar's durability and resistance to environmental changes, the beautiful ziricote pattern provides a stunning, exotic look. Tonally, ziricote's characteristics include a clear, harmonious sound with warm, resonant lows, sparkling highs, and a pronounced midrange. The combination of the sapele top and the ziricote HPL back/sides results in a versatile and captivating acoustic voice that sits beautifully in any mix.

Martin has made this a truly "stage-ready" instrument with their onboard Martin E-1 electronics, which include a built-in chromatic tuner, volume, and phase controls. The select hardwood neck features the comfortable Performing Artist profile with a High-Performance Taper, making it easy on the hands for extended playing sessions. Strummers, fingerstylists, and lead players alike will appreciate the smooth playability and the gorgeous amplified tone this Martin delivers.
