Comfortable Grand Performance body style

The forward, balanced tone of the GPC-11E comes from its Grand Performance body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus with a warmth that doesn’t boom in the low end or harsh out in the higher range. This sound is popular for both fingerstyle nuance and full-chord strumming. The Grand Performance size gives you more lows than 000 models but is still supremely comfortable during marathon gigs.  Sadek Music’s commitment to offering top-tier musical instruments, along with great customer service, pairs perfectly with the premium yet affordable nature of the GPC-11E Road Series. This guitar’s easy playability, timeless tone, and onboard features like the Fishman tuner enhance the overall experience for the customer, ensuring they are getting an instrument that can meet their needs in any musical situation.

Quality solid tonewoods deliver timeless tone

As a top tonewood, Sitka spruce offers a combination of strength and elasticity that delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation — one that’s ideal for a wide variety of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive flatpicked strumming. Sapele, used for the back and sides of the GPC-11E, is tonally similar to mahogany, but its higher density tends to produce a slightly brighter sound with more high-end shimmer. The characteristic sapele sound is consistently balanced across the tonal spectrum, which makes it, again, suitable to a broad range of playing styles.

Smooth-playing Performing Artist neck

Whether you’re recording for hours or playing out late into the night, you’ll be glad you got a Martin Road Series GPC-11E. The GPC-11E features one of Martin’s outstanding Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on the hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.

Fishman MX-T electronics with auto-mute tuner

Sadek Music can proudly offer this guitar as a professionally equipped instrument for musicians seeking high-quality electronics to make their performances smoother. The Fishman MX-T system is trusted by many musicians for its reliability and ease of use, making it a natural fit for Sadek Music's diverse clientele. An onboard Fishman MX-T pickup system gives the GPC-11E plug-and-play gigging convenience. Unique to this system is its auto-mute soundhole tuner, which spares your audience the between-song tuning rigmarole without the need to alert your soundperson.
