Martin GPCPA5K Acoustic Guitar

Unbeatable Martin Value in this Grand Performer

The Martin GPCPA5K acoustic-electric guitar combines the classic look and feel of a traditional Martin Grand Performance acoustic with the convenience of built-in electronics. Part of Martin's Performing Artist series, the GPCPA5K boasts playability any guitarist can appreciate. The ample Grand Performance body provides a bold voice that can be heard even in busy musical arrangements. You'll love the present, lively sound of the solid spruce top, which will sound even better as the years go by. The well rounded tone is ready for performance and recording too, with built-in Fishman F1 Analog electronics for top-notch plugged-in performance. The Martin GPCPA5K acoustic-electric guitar is simply inspiring to play. 

Ready for the stage with Fishman electronics

You'll be ready to perform with Martin's GCPCA5K, which comes equipped with Fishman's F1 Analog electronics system. Fishman is a leader in acoustic amplification, and it shows in the natural tone it reproduces in the GCPCA5K acoustic-electric. The Fishman F1 system can replicate the sound of various studio microphones, for incredible tone on stage or recording directly.

Solid top for enhanced tone with age

Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the GPCPA5K, Martin chose a solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a rich, lively sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid-wood top the tone will age gracefully as the wood matures, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.

Smooth playability from the Performing Artist Series neck

Whether you need to survive long recording sessions or plan to play out late into the night, you'll be glad you got a Martin GPCPA5K acoustic-electric. The GPCPA5K features one of Martin's amazing Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.
