Martin is unlocking the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods with the all-new GPCE Inception™ Maple. Combining nature and technology, this unique handcrafted acoustic-electric features one-of-a-kind skeletonized scalloped bracing and sonic channels inside the body for increased resonance and superior tone. 

The GPCE Inception Maple is made from a combination of sustainable and domestically abundant tonewoods, including an FSC®-certified European spruce top, maple sides, and an eye-catching three-piece back of maple and black walnut, providing a clear, projective, and balanced tone. It features a satin amber fade sunburst finish, black walnut binding, maple arrow fingerboard inlays, gold open gear tuners, and a cutaway to help you reach the highest frets. The GPCE Inception Maple comes with LR Baggs Anthem electronics and a molded hardshell case.
