LR Baggs Anthem electronics – Undoubtedly the benchmark for acoustic guitar electronics, designed to extract every ounce of tonal character from the GPCE's innovative design.

Skeletonized bracing

Inside the instrument, you’ll find their unique skeletonized bracing, perforated with honeycomb-like channels. This design not only enhances durability and projection; it also promotes airflow through the instrument and creates a lighter feel without compromising structural integrity.

FSC-certified spruce top

A European spruce top specially selected with sustainability in mind; it is even FSC-certified. This is paired with rich maple and walnut back and sides, featuring a striking three-piece back design. Complemented by an alluring Amber Fade Sunburst finish, the result is an instrument that looks as beautiful as it sounds. LR Baggs Anthem

The LR Baggs Anthem combines the Tru Mic condenser microphone and an under-saddle pickup to bring out the full spectrum of your sound. The signal path remains entirely analog; it is simply a microphone/piezo combination designed to reveal the true heart of your guitar.

The Martin GPCE Inception Maple delivers outstanding tone and playability, alongside a contemporary reinterpretation of classic Martin aesthetics. The top features lightweight, skeletonized X-bracing for maximum response, resonance, and projection.

The GPCE features a smooth-playing Modified Low Oval neck, with a bridge and fingerboard crafted from black walnut.

Comes with a premium hardshell case.
