Overview
Martin builds this Grand Performance acoustic-electric around a sapele top and figured ziricote HPL back and sides, with a deep cutaway for reaching the higher notes. Onboard electronics and a tuner handle the amplified side.
Eco-minded X Series materials and a deep cutaway make this a comfortable guitar for long sessions and for exploring chords high on the neck. The Performing Artist series neck is aimed at players who record for hours or play late into the night. The limitation is laminate back and sides, so it is not an all-wood build.
Who it's for
Players who spend long sessions on the neck and want upper-fret access, onstage or at home. Anyone who needs exact scale length or nut width before buying should confirm with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Deep cutaway for upper-fret access
- Bold, balanced tone with strong projection
- Case and tuner included
- Eco-minded X Series materials
- Back and sides are laminate
- Scale length not listed
Performance notes
A Grand Performance body balances projection against a manageable size, which matches the bold and balanced voice Martin lists. The select hardwood neck and fingerboard are meant to give smooth playability and response. Plugged in, the onboard electronics carry the amplified sound through the quarter inch plug.
