The Martin Road Series GPC-13E brings a gorgeous glossed spruce top and striking ziricote back and sides to a Grand Performance 14-fret cutaway body that delivers great sound at an accessible price point. Stunning mother-of-pearl pattern fingerboard and rosette inlays, a multi-stripe rosette border, and white binding give this model a refined, eye-catching visual presentation, while an FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard and bridge, gloss body finish, and hand-rubbed neck reflect genuine attention to material quality and craftsmanship. Martin's E1 electronics package with a built-in soundhole tuner means you can tune up anywhere without a pedal, and the Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper keeps the guitar comfortable and fast under the hands. Road-ready and now available as a store demo at a significant discount, this GPC-13E is ready for its next adventure.

Product Overview

The Grand Performance 14-Fret Cutaway body size sits between Martin's smaller and larger acoustic body shapes — delivering a full, balanced tonal projection while remaining comfortable to play, with the cutaway providing easy access to the upper frets for lead playing and extended-range chord work. The solid spruce top, finished in gloss, provides the bright, articulate, dynamically responsive tonal foundation that spruce is prized for across the acoustic guitar world, while the ziricote fine veneer back and sides bring a striking, richly figured visual character alongside a tonal contribution of focused midrange and clear note definition. Scalloped X-bracing with 5/16" braces and 1/4" tone bars allows the top to vibrate more freely, contributing to the dynamic projection and resonance that defines Martin's most musically responsive instruments.

This model introduces several refinements new to the GPC-13E lineup. Mother-of-pearl pattern inlays appear both in the fingerboard (in a 28-style dot pattern) and in the rosette, paired with a multi-stripe rosette border and white binding for a visually cohesive, upscale presentation. The FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard and bridge is a notable material choice — Richlite is an engineered composite material that offers the density, smoothness, and tonal characteristics of premium tonewoods like ebony while being sustainably sourced and FSC-certified, reflecting a forward-thinking approach to material sourcing without compromising performance or feel.

The Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper is designed for comfort and speed, with a 1-3/4" nut width that provides solid fingerstyle string spacing while remaining accessible to players of varying backgrounds. The Mortise & Tenon neck joint is a traditional, structurally robust joinery method that provides excellent resonance transfer and long-term neck stability. Martin's E1 electronics package is one of the most practically valuable features on this model — a built-in soundhole tuner means players never need a separate tuner pedal or clip-on unit, streamlining the process of getting in tune before a performance or practice session, while the broader E1 system delivers reliable, natural-sounding amplified tone for any plugged-in performance situation.
