Martin is once again unlocking the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods with the GPE Inception™ Maple—introducing a new non-cutaway Grand Performance shape to the Inception Series with a stunning gloss finish. This acoustic-electric powerhouse blends cutting-edge innovation with domestic and certified materials, delivering a tone as dynamic as its bold new look. The FSC®-certified European spruce top, gleaming in a gloss amber fade sunburst, provides quick response and powerful projection, while the flamed maple back and sides, accented by a black walnut wedge, produce a bright, articulate sound with just the right touch of warmth. The result? A guitar that’s crisp, clear, and effortlessly expressive.

Under the hood, skeletonised bracing and sonic channelling—technology purpose-built to complement this model’s specific tonewoods—push the boundaries of acoustic guitar design. By optimising response and reducing mass without sacrificing structural integrity, these features allow the GPE Inception Maple to achieve both increased sustain and greater amplitude—a rare feat in guitar engineering. Typically, boosting one means compromising the other, but here, Martin has perfected the balance. With its first-ever full-body Grand Performance shape in the Inception Series, this model delivers clarity, resonance, and volume in equal measure, giving players a powerful and well-balanced acoustic voice with a rich tonal spectrum.

Aesthetically, this new offering takes this trailblazing model to the next level. Its gloss finish, also now available on the refreshed GPCE Inception, enhances the depth of the flamed maple and spruce, making its natural beauty even more striking. A sleek black walnut neck, finished in a satin amber fade sunburst, pairs beautifully with an FSC-certified ebony fingerboard and bridge, offering a smoother feel and richer tonal depth than the original model. Arrow and hex inlays, gold open-gear tuners, and refined black walnut binding complete its premium, eye-catching aesthetic.

Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the LR Baggs Anthem electronics ensure your tone shines through with remarkable fidelity. Featuring a blendable mic and pickup system, volume and mic level controls, and phase inversion for feedback reduction, this system captures the guitar’s natural, dynamic voice with stunning clarity. With a new non-cutaway option, upgraded looks, and the same revolutionary sound, the GPE Inception Maple is where nature and technology meet to create something truly extraordinary.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.
