A spruce top with rosewood patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides combined with a solid FSC Certified Richlite fingerboard and bridge, and Fishman Sonitone electronics make the GPC-X2E a very versatile guitar for players of all levels. The GPC-X2E has a Venetian cutaway and features Martin's Performance Artist neck profile with High Performance Taper and a hand-rubbed finish which make getting up and down the entire fret more smooth and comfortable on your hands. Other appointments include a scalloped spruce X bracing, a compensated white TUSQ saddle, white corian nut, multi-stripe rosette, chrome enclosed gear tuners and a faux tortoise pickguard.

Case sold separately.

X Series
X Series Guitars feature patented high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, patented mortise-and-tenon neck construction, and professionally installed Fishman electronics. The result: great-sounding, great-playing guitar, that is environmentally friendly, and priced to fly out the door. This is one of Martin's best values ever. The X Series affirms Martin's commitment to providing an affordable and competitive option for players dedicated to live performance and studio recording.

Note: Due to supply chain issues from COVID-19, Martin cannot guarantee a faux tortoise pickguard. During this time, the guitar you receive may have a black pickguard. We apologize for this inconvenience and as soon as the supply chain issue is resolved, the faux tortoise pickguard will be standard again.

    this is a great guitar, feels awesome, sounds great. it has a better sound than my all solid mahogany washburn. The solid sitka top is sharp. neck feels like it was made for my hand. really nice Martin gig bag too. the HPL sides and back are resilient and dont take away from sound

  • 5 star for sure

    The change of richlite to wood for the neck, fretboard and bridge made a huge change to the sound of this guitar. Much more sustain. The guitar sounds and plays great!

    Hey there, OK I'm seeing conflicting answers about the top?... Is this thing solid or laminate? Solid right?...not the pancake is it? Lol.
