Description

Don't underestimate the Little Martin. It might be smaller in actual size, but it remains big in a bunch of other departments! The reduced dimensions make it the ideal travel companion, or an entry-point for students who are just starting out on their electro-acoustic journey.  

Small, but Mighty 

The LX1RE is new to the series, but it more than earns its place. Built from a solid sitka spruce top, the back and sides are crafted from a rosewood pattern HPL. Spruce is known for its warm nature, with a projection that delivers your sound crisply and clearly. Many of the components that make up this guitar are actually sustainable wood parts. This proves Martin's commitment to ethically sourcing as many of their materials as possible.  

Additional Features 

This guitar is the first within the series that boasts a pickguard, alongside a laser-etched, herringbone rosette. It's not just visual embellishments here though. Fishman Sonitone electronics faithfully deliver the natural voice of the guitar when you do decide to plug in.  

A soft gig-bag comes included with the guitar as well – ensuring you're ready to take your Little Martin wherever it's needed!

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.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.
