The Martin LX1 Little Martin Acoustic Guitar packs impressive sound and comfort into a small, road-ready build. With its modified O-style body, this compact 6-string has the same full-bodied projection and singing sustain that Martin is known for. The LX1 features a Sitka spruce top that produces the bright, vibrant tone spruce is revered for. Its tonewood back and sides are a beautiful mahogany-patterned high-pressure laminate (HPL) that provides balanced warmth and definition. The diminutive LX1 is made for travel, easily fitting into overhead bins and car trunks. Its 23" scale length and modified low oval neck offer comfortable playability for musicians of all hand sizes.

Project Big Tone From a Petite Body

While the LX1 Little Martin is Martin's smallest guitar, it produces sound that belies its compact size. The LX1's modified O-style body yields impressive volume, projection and sustain. Its solid Sitka spruce top is known for its crisp highs, balanced mids and focused bass. This lightweight spruce responds beautifully to both aggressive and delicate playing styles. The LX1's back and sides use a durable and great-sounding mahogany-patterned HPL, which provides warm lows and clear mids and highs. Together, these tonewoods create the quintessential Martin acoustic voice—bright and resonant with overtones that sing.

Comfortable Playability for all Musicians

The LX1 Little Martin is designed with comfort and versatility in mind. Its 23" scale length and modified low oval neck profile offer easy playability and quick fretting, making the LX1 an ideal travel companion or couch guitar. The neck uses Martin's Stratabond laminate for strength and rigidity. With its 1-11/16" nut width, the LX1 feels familiar to electric players. The fingerboard is crafted from durable and eco-friendly Richlite, which enhances the guitar's clear, projecting tone. The LX1's smaller body size also makes it a smart choice for younger players and those with smaller hands who want to experience the joy of playing a Martin.

Built With Martin's Legendary Quality

While more affordable than Martin's all-solid wood models, the LX1 Little Martin upholds the company's 192 years of guitar-making prowess. It boasts Martin's trademark quality touches like an adjustable truss rod for optimized action and a Corian nut and compensated saddle for exemplary intonation. The headstock is topped with rosewood overlay bearing Martin's iconic torch inlay logo. Inside the soundhole, you'll find the LX1 Little Martin label bearing the signature of Chris Martin IV. Play it acoustically or plug it into an amp or PA system for amplified performances. Protect your LX1 with the included durable gig bag when traveling.
