Description
The Martin GPCX2E Cocobolo acoustic-electric guitar combines the look of exotic tonewoods with Fishman electronics for versatile amplified sound ideal for the stage. Its solid spruce top and stunning cocobolo-patterned HPL back and sides generate a lush, resonant acoustic tone. The GPCX2E features Martin's High Performance neck profile that provides fast playability, while the Fishman MX pickup and preamp system lets you plug in with clear, balanced amplified tone. The guitar includes a protective hardshell case for safe transport and storage.
Exquisite Cocobolo HPL Back and Sides Create Rich Resonance
One of the GPCX2E's most striking features is its gorgeous cocobolo-pattern HPL back and sides. Known for its intricate grain patterns, the look complements the spruce top to produce full lows, sparkling highs and scooped midrange, while providing the stability and durability of HPL. Strumming or picking, you'll feel the guitar come alive under your hands as it generates rich, colorful acoustic tone. On stage, the audience will appreciate the exotic, eye-catching rare-wood look.
Solid Spruce Top With X-Bracing for Balanced Tone
Martin crafted the GPCX2E's top from solid spruce, a classic tonewood which produces a clear, well-balanced acoustic voice. The hybrid "X"-style bracing provides excellent resonance across the tonal spectrum so every note sings out with clarity and definition. Whether using a pick or your fingers, you'll appreciate the spruce's focused midrange, sparkling highs and tight low end. On stage or in the studio, the spruce top projects while retaining organic wood character.
Slim, Comfortable Neck Profile Ideal for Fingerstyle Playing
Designed with the fingerstyle player in mind, the GPCX2E features a slim, comfortable neck profile. The satin finish facilitates smooth, speedy playing across the rosewood fingerboard. The neck meets the body at the 14th fret for easy access to the treble range. Combined with a nut width of 48 mm and low action, the GPCX2E Cocobolo lets your fingers dance nimbly across the strings. The ergonomic design makes practice and performance sessions comfortable and rewarding.
Fishman MX Pickup and Controls for Plugged-in Versatility
The Fishman MX active undersaddle pickup and preamp system lets you plug the GPCX2E into an amplifier or PA system. Separate volume and tone controls are mounted discretely just inside the soundhole for quick adjustments on the fly. Roll off the highs to tame overly bright rooms or add sizzle for more definition in the mix. The MX pickup captures the organic resonance of the solid wood top and back. Perform live with confidence knowing your amplified Martin tone will sound clear and balanced.
With its comfortable feel, versatile electronics and exotic cocobolo looks, this Martin GPCX2E inspires creativity wherever you play. It comes complete with a protective hardshell case for safe transport to gigs or the recording studio.
