Built with a Grand Performance 14-fret cutaway body, this stunning instrument features a European spruce top and a unique 3-piece maple and black walnut back and sides, delivering a bright, punchy tone with excellent projection and clarity.

Top-quality tonewoods

The guitarists here at Sadek Music know there's no substitute for top-quality tonewoods. That's a major reason the GPCE Inception Maple is such a wonderful instrument. The top is European spruce, yielding a mature tone with tons of punch and headroom. The back and sides are made from 3-piece maple with black walnut, which lends the perfect amount of high-frequency clarity to your playing. It's a recipe for a vibrant tone that will age gracefully as the years go by.

Outstanding tone and playability

The Martin GPCE Inception Maple delivers outstanding tone and playability, along with a contemporary reimagining of classic Martin visuals. The top is reinforced with lightweight skeletonized X-bracing for maximum response, resonance, and projection. The GPCE features a smooth-playing, modified low oval neck, and the belly bridge and fingerboard are made of black walnut.

Flawless amplified sound

The feedback-fighting, natural-sounding LR Baggs Anthem pickup with Tru Mic technology, featured on the Martin GPCE Inception Maple available at Sadek Music, is the result of over 30 years of innovation. This hybrid pickup system faithfully captures the guitar’s natural tone and projects it through your amp or sound system with clarity, fullness, and dynamic range. Conveniently located inside the soundhole, the Volume, Mix, and Phase controls give you fingertip access to shape your sound. The Mix control lets you blend between the augmented microphone and the under-saddle pickup, allowing precise tone tailoring for any performance environment.
