Description
The Martin LX1 or, as it's more affectionately known, the "Little Martin" is a great travel guitar or starter guitar for those with little hands. It's also the ideal guitar to have kicking around the lounge – ready to pick up and jam when inspiration strikes – the perfect parlour partner!
The LX1, unlike many miniature guitars, does not compromise on action, build or intonation in order to achieve its small size. Backed by legendary Martin build quality, the little Martin will be a great companion for any guitarist, old hand or new!
Like its predecessors, the latest addition to the Martin line is built with the same Martin quality craftsmanship, with an emphasis on producing great sound in a smaller guitar. These Little Martins are durable and easy to play. They are the perfect "pick up and play" guitars that let you jam at home or on the road and are the perfect choice for students.
Here's what Martin have to say about the LX1:
While the Little Martin is our smallest guitar, it is very big on tone, quality and versatility. The LX1 model features a solid spruce top and mahogany high-pressure laminate HPL back, sides and top. It’s ideal for travel, student practice or for just playing around the house or campfire.
