What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required. 

This is the Martin GPCPA1, an exceptional instrument from the revered Performing Artist Series, built to blur the lines between acoustic purity and amplified excellence. A dazzling spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides creates a sound that is both commanding and full of character, perfect for both stage and studio. With its sleek cutaway and a superbly comfortable Performing Artist neck profile, this guitar plays like a dream. Featuring stunning abalone inlays and the sophisticated Fishman F1 Aura pickup system, it's an investment that will inspire for years. Any luthier notes aren't a flaw, but a testament to the meticulous care that has made this GPCPA1 a supremely playable, rock-solid instrument that absolutely sings!

About Manufacturer

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.
