Martin GPCPA4 Performing Artist Series Acoustic Guitar - 2016 - Used
The Martin GPCPA4 is a modern classic designed for the gigging musician who demands the legendary Martin tone in a highly playable, stage-ready format. This Grand Performance 14-fret cutaway model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides, offering a voice that is crisp, balanced, and remarkably warm. Its larger body size (compared to a standard 000) allows for a bolder, more resonant low end that "punches above its pay grade," making it a versatile choice for everything from delicate fingerpicking to heavy strumming.
This 2016 model features Martin’s comfortable Performing Artist neck profile with a High Performance taper, designed to feel fast and natural for long sets. It is equipped with the Fishman F1 Analog electronics system, which includes a discreet side-mounted preamp with an onboard chromatic tuner and volume/tone controls. This ensures your acoustic voice is captured accurately when plugged into a PA or acoustic amplifier.
This instrument is in great shape, showing some basic signs of play wear consistent with its age, but it remains in excellent structural condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs. It features a great neck angle with plenty of saddle height left, allowing for easy adjustments to the action to suit your specific playing style.
