The Martin GPC-13E Modern blends contemporary style with stage- ready performance in a versatile Grand Performance cutaway body. The solid spruce top and koa fine veneer back and sides produce clear, balanced tone with shimmering highs and rich mids. Scalloped X-bracing boosts volume and responsiveness, while the Grand Performance shape delivers a projective, balanced voice with a bit more bass than smaller bodies—perfect for a wide range of styles. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper ensures smooth, fast playability, and diamond-and-square inlays, Ratio® skeletonized open gear tuners, and white binding on the body add a modern twist to a classic look. With versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the GPC-13E Modern is built to push your sound forward.
