Big Martin Tone, Fun-Sized Package

Don't let the size fool you—the Martin LX1E Little Martin is a cannon. This compact powerhouse delivers the legendary Martin resonance and clarity you crave in a travel-friendly format that's just begging to be played. Built for the road, the couch, or the campfire, it’s got a solid Sitka Spruce top that sings with surprising projection and a rich, dynamic voice. It’s the real deal, just smaller.

Built for a Lifetime of Music

The back and sides are crafted from a durable, mahogany-patterned High-Pressure Laminate (HPL), making the LX1E incredibly resilient to the dings, dents, and humidity changes that come with travel and everyday play. This isn't just a travel guitar; it's a trusty musical companion that’s built to last. The mortise and tenon neck joint ensures a solid transfer of energy from the strings to the body, giving you sustain for days.

Effortless Playability

With its shorter 23" scale length and comfortable Modified Low Oval neck shape, the LX1E feels slinky and fast. Bends are easier, chords feel less strenuous—it’s an absolute joy for long writing sessions or gigs. The FSC® Certified Richlite® fingerboard is smooth and durable, providing a consistent playing surface that feels great under the fingers from the first fret to the 20th.

Stage-Ready Electronics

When you're ready to plug in, the onboard Fishman® Presys VT electronics ensure your natural acoustic tone translates beautifully. The unobtrusive soundhole-mounted preamp gives you simple, effective volume and tone controls right at your fingertips. It’s a clean, reliable system that makes the LX1E a killer plug-and-play option for open mics, studio sessions, or Sunday services.

-In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

-Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

-Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum. Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal on the phone description of this guitar. Thank you!
