Martin Martin GPCE Inception Maple
Presenting the all new Martin GPCE Inception Maple. Our friends at Martin are unlocking the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods with the all-new GPCE Inception™ Maple model. Combining nature and technology, this unique handcrafted acoustic-electric features skeletonized scalloped bracing and sonic channels inside the body for increased resonance and superior tone. The GPCE Inception is made from a combination of sustainable and domestically abundant tonewoods, including an FSC®-certified European spruce top, maple sides, and an eye-catching three-piece back of maple and black walnut, providing a clear, projective, and balanced tone. It features a satin amber fade sunburst finish, black walnut binding, maple arrow fingerboard inlays, gold open gear tuners, and a cutaway to help you reach the highest frets. The GPCE Inception also comes with LR Baggs Anthem electronics (one of our FAVORITE pickup systems to install in a Martin) and a molded hardshell case. Photos are of one from our inventory, SN 2882500, individual color and grain will vary from guitar to guitar.
