A great versatile newer model, the GPC-X1E comes with a sleek cutaway and satin black finish. The HPL top back and sides make it extremely durable and road-worthy. From Martin Guitar’s Website: "The X Series is made to play. The acoustic-electric GPC-X1E Black is made up of high-pressure laminate (HPL) top, back, and sides in a striking satin black finish that doesn’t sacrifice that classic Martin sound. Playability enhancements include a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth and comfortable playing experience, while its Grand Performance body size provides a projective, balanced tone with added bass, and a cutaway to help you reach the highest frets. The GPC-X1E Black also comes with satin tuners and Martin E-1 electronics, featuring a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, letting you plug in and play at any volume. All X Series models come with a softshell case."
