Key Features
The Martin GPCE Inception™ Maple is a premier acoustic-electric guitar that's brand new for 2024. It combines the warmth of sustainable tonewoods with state-of-the-art technology to give you unparalleled sound and playability. An FSC®-certified European spruce top, maple sides, and an exquisite three-piece back create a rich and balanced tone profile, so you can expect thick and enveloping lows, broad mid-ranges, and a sweet high-end that extracts all the detail of your dynamics. And thanks to Martins skeletonised scalloped bracing and innovative sonic channels you'll also enjoy an enhanced resonance and a powerful projection when playing unplugged.
The guitar is designed to aesthetically please as much as it is to perform. A satin amber fade sunburst finish will catch the eyes of any audience, while the black walnut binding and arrow fingerboard inlays complete its sophisticated appearance. Speaking of audiences, a high-fidelity LR Baggs Anthem pickup system ensures a totally natural sound reproduction when playing live or recording, ensuring you get all the detail of the carefully assembled tonewoods. Complete with a premium moulded hard shell case for maximum protection, the GPCE Inception represents the future of acoustic guitars, in addition to Martin's constant commitment to innovation and sustainability.

For Martin, sustainability is a top priority. That's why the GPCE Inception™ Maple is crafted from sustainable and abundant tonewoods. Not only does this help to preserve our environment, but it also ensures that the guitar produces a clear, balanced and projective tone that stands out among the massive selection of acoustic guitars.
A FSC®-certified European spruce top offers a bright and responsive sound that's perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking. The maple sides further enhance the guitar's projection, while the three-piece back - made of maple and black walnut - adds warmth and depth to the tone profile.
The GPCE Inception™ Maple features Martin's innovative skeletonised scalloped bracing, which ensures balanced and even resonance throughout the guitar's body. This, combined with the sonic channels within the body, results in an enhanced projection and a more powerful sound. The dovetail neck joint also contributes to the overall resonance of the guitar, providing a seamless transition between the neck and body for improved sustain and tonal clarity.
The GPCE Inception™ Maple is equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, one of the most renowned pickup systems in the industry. This high-fidelity system ensures a natural and transparent sound when amplified, allowing you to take full advantage of the guitar's exceptional tonal qualities on stage or in the studio.
The GPCE Inception™ Maple is designed with performance in mind. It features a high-performance taper neck, with a scale length of 25.4" and a fingerboard width at the nut of 1 3/4'', providing a comfortable and easy playing experience for both professionals and amateurs. It's also fitted with Luxe by Martin® Kovar™ Strings - Light, giving you a smooth and responsive feel that allows you to easily express yourself through your playing.
