Product Description
The GPCE Inception Maple is an innovative electro-acoustic guitar where Martin & Co heritage meets forward-thinking design, and technology meets nature. The result: a beautifully playable instrument that delivers a full, dynamic sound alongside stunning Martin aesthetics with a contemporary twist.
Key features
- Skeletonised bracing - A unique scalloped bracing design that offers superior resonance and allows sound to pass through the instrument in a totally different way.
- FSC-certified Spruce top - A classic & beautiful acoustic tonewood, chosen for sustainability, coupled with Maple and Walnut for a perfectly balanced tone.
- LR Baggs Anthem electronics - Arguably the benchmark for acoustic guitar electronics, designed to extract every drop of tonal character from the GPCE's innovative design.
Innovation from the inside out
The GPCE Inception is the culmination of both Martin & Co's acoustic instrument legacy and commitment to technological research. Inside the instrument you'll find their unique Skeletonised bracing, perforated with honeycomb-like channels. This design not only improves sustain and projection; it also aids airflow through the instrument and provides a lighter feel without compromising structure.
Sustainable tonewoods
Enjoy a punchy, ultra-clear sound thanks to a European Spruce Top specially selected with sustainability in mind; it's even FSC-certified. This is paired with lush Maple and Walnut for the sides and an eye-catching 3-piece design for the back. Married with an alluring Amber Fade Sunburst finish, and you've got an instrument that looks every bit as gorgeous as it sounds.
Outstanding sound, however you play
The GPCE Inception's tonewoods and technologically-advanced construction ensure beautiful acoustic projection. But for when you need to be amplified, the LR Baggs Anthem system (combining an under-saddle pickup and an augmented microphone) perfectly transforms its dynamic, organic unplugged sound into an amplified signal that truly delivers. Further sculpt your sound with easy-access volume, mix, and phase controls.
