The Martin GPCE Inception™ Maple is a true blend of sustainability and innovation, now available at Haggerty's Music. This handcrafted acoustic-electric guitar showcases Martin's commitment to sustainable tonewoods, featuring an FSC®-certified European spruce top, maple sides, and a striking three-piece back made of maple and black walnut. These materials work in harmony to produce a clear, balanced, and highly projective tone. 

The guitar boasts skeletonized scalloped bracing and sonic channels inside the body, enhancing its resonance and tonal richness. Its satin amber fade sunburst finish is complemented by black walnut binding and maple arrow fingerboard inlays, giving the instrument a refined and elegant appearance. The cutaway design allows access to the highest frets, and the gold open gear tuners add both style and precision tuning.

Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the GPCE Inception delivers an amplified sound that perfectly captures its natural acoustic qualities. It also comes with a molded hardshell case for safe transport and storage. This unique instrument combines modern technology, sustainable materials, and timeless craftsmanship—available now at Haggerty's Music.
