Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

It doesn't get much better as far as a versatile, stage-ready guitar--think of it as a D-35's cosmopolitan cousin!  The distinctive look, modern silhouette, and onboard electronics work beautifully together in this performance piece from America's most beloved builder.  Whether you're strumming, picking out a lead, or a bit of both, this clean GPC won't let you down!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup

From Martin and Co.

Slightly smaller than a Dreadnought, the GPC-35E still packs a tonal punch. This is a Grand Performance, acoustic-electric cutaway model, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood sides and three-piece back, black ebony fingerboard and bridge and a matching black pickguard. Introduced this year, the Fishman® Aura® VT Enhance electronics complete this model and enhance the tone that fuels your musical journey.
