An exceptional value with a Grand Performance size, solid Sitka spruce top and convenient Fishman F1 Analog electronics.

One of Martin's most affordable Performing Artist models, the GPCPA5 is available in a Grand Performance body size with a solid Sitka spruce top, koa-patterned high pressure laminate back and sides, High Performance Neck and Fishman’s F1 Analog electronics. Using advanced construction techniques, Martin is able to produce this fine guitar with a sound that rivals models costing much more.

Fishman’s F1 Analog preamp system
The F1 Analog has 2 control knobs and one display. By pressing the volume button down for 2 seconds the tuner is activated. The innovative one-knob tone control lets you choose between a natural, undersaddle sound with no EQ (fully counter-clockwise) on up to a “mid- scooped” tone with emphasized treble & bass and reduced midrange. Pressing the tone knob repearedly cycles through various phase settings that improve bass response while aiming to suppress unwanted feedback.

Features

  • Incredible value resulting from advanced construction techniques
  • Solid Sitka spruce top for a full, balanced sound
  • Environmentally friendly HPL koa back and sides
  • The same Hybrid "X" bracing as more expensive models for clear treble and tight bass
  • Slim, easy-to-play neck with Black Richlite fingerboard

Fishman’s F1 Analog features

  • Volume Control
  • Tone control with mid-scooped tone
  • Digital chromatic tuner
  • Phase control to improve bass and suppress feedback

        Comments about Martin Performing Artist Series GPCPA5K Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

        I was a little skeptical about a guitar with so many non-solid wood parts but this guitar changed my opinion of that. Martin's HPL sounds great. This guitar has a very warm sound, not dull at all nor is it overly bright. The neck (stratabond) is VERY smooth. I would DEFINITELY recommend this guitar for anyone wanting to get into a Martin without breaking the bank.

        A guitar that stands out,! Outstanding!!

        By spkrwill

        from Nanaimo BC

        Pros

        • Harmonics Finally

        Cons

        • Too soon to tell

        Best Uses

        • Play Til Done

        Comments about Martin Performing Artist Series GPCPA5K Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

        Harmonics, already mentioned, but so nice, I'll say it twice! What a great voice this charming guitar has! Chords with open notes just hang in the air. I'm extremely happy with this instrument, if you hadn't noticed! Its a great blend of utilitarian and artistic, and no heavy laquer finish to gag its voice! It will be very hard to play another guitar with any enthusiasm!

        Comments about Martin Performing Artist Series GPCPA5K Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

        I was not expecting this martin to sound so good for being an [$] guitar, but I was pleasantly surprised. Up next to a taylor at the same price, this one blew the taylor out of the water. No regrets buying this guitar. Would definetly suggest it to anyone looking to buy an acoustic electric guitar.
