Performing Artist Series GPCPA1 Plus Grand Performer Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Martin GPCPA1 acoustic-electric guitar combines that world-famous Martin sound with the contemporary playability of an electric guitar. Its unique body design blends a tight waist with a deep body. The end result is a tone that is well-defined, plus a massive amount of power and projection. Its solid Sitka spruce top is braced perfectly to give you a rich, full-bodied tone that is versatile enough for any musical situation. The body is rounded out with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides to add the right amount of warmth and projection.

As the pinnacle of the Martin Performing Artist Series, this GPCPA1 was crafted to be a “players dream.” The GPCPA1 features a very playable mahogany neck with a Performing Artist neck taper. This precision-cut neck boasts a solid ebony fingerboard with abalone arrows and square position markets, and a 1-3/4 in. nut width, to give you the right amount of spacing between the strings.

Looking for electronics? The Martin GPCPA1 comes complete with an onboard Fishman F1 Aura+. This revolutionary pickup system is shipped from the factory in the "Easy Mode." Easy Mode gives you four factory presets: the traditional under-the-saddle pickup, and three sound images of the GPCPA1 played through some of the finest world-class microphones on the planet. All you have to do is plug-in and play. You’ll have a studio-quality sound right out of the box.

For those who prefer to design their own sound, the GPCPA1 has a Performance Mode. Performance Mode has nine world-class sound images, a dual three-band EQ, nine different types of compression, the ability to set the blend between the sound of the guitar and microphone image, and an anti-feedback eliminator.

Includes hardshell case.
