The Quality You've Come To Expect from Martin
Exquisite Tonewoods
This GPC-18E Grand Performance's back and sides are constructed from Geniune Mahogany which is then laminated to highlight the stunning wood grain, the top is constructed from the highest quality solid Sitka Spruce available, which delivers the bite and sharp response usually associated with a Martin guitar. The combination of the Spruce top and Mahogany back/sides gives this premium quality acoustic guitar it's beautiful voice, producing a perfectly balanced and versatile palette of smooth, warm sounds with complex harmonic overtones. Additionally the guitar comes with a solid black ebony fingerboard and bridge.
Electronics
To add to the guitars elegance the Fishman Aura Imaging Preamp system has been completely re-designed and is now housed underneath the guitars bottom jack pin, meaning there's no notable electronics visible on the side of the instrument. This preamp goes beyond standard modeling to help create a spacious sound that's both vivid and natural, recreating not only the direct sound of your playing but also the sounds that naturally surround your guitar. With Aura imaging specifically made for each guitar model, you can plug in and enhance the sound you fell in love with in the first place.
The Finishing Touches
A sleek modified low oval neck with a Performing Artist taper give you greater ease of play up and down the fingerboard. Finally, the Tortoise color binding and matching pickguard embellish this model, giving it a sleek and beautiful finishing touch.
