Blending modern comfort with classic acoustic punch, the Martin GPC-13E Modern FG matches a solid spruce top under a high-gloss finish with striking koa fine veneer back and sides. Built around a versatile Grand Performance cutaway body with scalloped X-bracing, its select hardwood neck features a Performing Artist profile and High-Performance Taper leading to an ebony fingerboard with long-pattern faux mother-of-pearl diamonds and squares inlays and a 1 3/4" White Corian nut. Refined visual details include white body binding, a single-ring faux abalone rosette, a faux tortoise pickguard, ratio open-gear nickel tuners with skeletonized butterbean knobs, and a sloped modern belly ebony bridge with a white TUSQ saddle. Weighing an ultra-nimble 3 lbs 4 oz, this comfortable road-ready acoustic-electric comes complete with a softshell case.
The Martin GPC-13E Modern blends contemporary style with stage-ready performance in a versatile Grand Performance cutaway body. The solid spruce top and koa fine veneer back and sides produce clear, balanced tone with shimmering highs and rich mids. Scalloped X-bracing boosts volume and responsiveness, while the Grand Performance shape delivers a projective, balanced voice with a bit more bass than smaller bodies—perfect for a wide range of styles. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper ensures smooth, fast playability, and diamond-and-square inlays, Ratio® skeletonized open gear tuners, and white binding on the body add a modern twist to a classic look. With versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the GPC-13E Modern is built to push your sound forward.
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
