Description
As the pinnacle of the Martin Performing Artist Series, this GPCPA1 was crafted to be a “players dream.” The GPCPA1 features a very playable mahogany neck with a Performing Artist neck taper. This precision-cut neck boasts a solid ebony fingerboard with abalone arrows and square position markets, and a 1-3/4 in. nut width, to give you the right amount of spacing between the strings.
Looking for electronics? The Martin GPCPA1 comes complete with an onboard Fishman F1 Aura+. This revolutionary pickup system is shipped from the factory in the “Easy Mode.” Easy Mode gives you four factory presets: the traditional under-the-saddle pickup, and three sound images of the GPCPA1 played through some of the finest world-class microphones on the planet. All you have to do is plug-in and play. You’ll have a studio-quality sound right out of the box. For those who prefer to design their own sound, the GPCPA1 has a Performance Mode. Performance Mode has nine world-class sound images, a dual three-band EQ, nine different types of compression, the ability to set the blend between the sound of the guitar and microphone image, and an anti-feedback eliminator.
This instrument integrates state-of-the-art electronics, striking aesthetic features, and incredible playability in an instrument that will not only inspire you to play, but be the perfect addition to any fine guitar collection. Includes hardshell case.
