Some guitars are built for a specific purpose. The Martin LX1 Little Martin Left-Handed seems to do just about everything. As an authorized Martin dealer, we've recommended the Little Martin to countless players looking for a travel companion, a comfortable first guitar, or simply a great-sounding acoustic that doesn't take up much space. Time after time, it exceeds expectations. Despite its compact size, it delivers the warm, balanced tone and effortless playability that have made Martin one of the most respected names in acoustic guitars for nearly two centuries.
Designed specifically for left-handed players, the LX1 features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Martin's durable High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) back and sides, creating an instrument that's built to travel while standing up to changes in temperature and humidity better than many traditional all-solid wood guitars. Whether you're taking it on the road, keeping it by the couch for songwriting sessions, or bringing it to the campsite, the Little Martin is always ready to go.
Its modified low oval neck profile and short 23-inch scale make the LX1 incredibly comfortable to play for musicians of all experience levels. Don't let the smaller body fool you—this guitar projects remarkably well, with clear highs, balanced mids, and a surprising amount of low-end warmth for its size. It's an instrument that's equally enjoyable for beginners, seasoned players, and anyone looking for a dependable acoustic they can take anywhere.
