The Martin GPC-28E acoustic-electric cutaway guitar gives you the comfort and tone of a Grand Performance body style with a natural DI sound for stage and studio convenience. The GPC-28E has the warmth, balance, and projection of a Sitka spruce top on an East Indian rosewood body with the clear articulation of an ebony fretboard to breathe new life into your arrangements. Onboard LR Baggs Anthem electronics with hidden volume and tone controls deliver a big, lively, direct sound without detracting from the natural beauty of your instrument. Check out the Martin GPC-28E for a great-sounding performer's acoustic with the classic Martin look.
Comfortable Grand Performance body styleThe
forward, balanced tone of the GPC-28E comes from its Grand Performance
body style. This body provides excellent projection and focus with a
warmth that is never booming and detail that is never harsh. This sound
is popular for both fingerstyle playing and full-chord strumming. The
Grand Performance has a bigger low end than the 000 models but is still
supremely comfortable for slinging over your shoulder night after night.
The LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Pickup will change the way you look at mic pickups. This feedback-busting, natural-sounding pickup is the result of over 30 years of effort. There's no modeling and no illusions going on here. The Anthem is strictly a well-designed microphone that picks up your guitar — clean, clear, and full of dynamics. While many guitar mics are prone to feedback or sound annoyingly boxy, the LR Baggs Anthem is like having your acoustic sound just "turned up," so it's full of detail, warmth, and personality — and feedback-free.
So how does it work? LR Baggs developed proprietary noise-canceling technology that captures the pure, natural sound of your acoustic guitar. The Tru-Mic system picks up the vibrations of your entire soundboard, so the Anthem is surprisingly free of placement issues. The control unit is extremely lightweight and features just the essentials: Volume, Mix, and Phase. It nestles inside the soundhole for easy fingertip access. And because there are no control holes cut into the side of the guitar, the system is completely unobtrusive. With the Mix control, you can blend between the augmented mic and the full-range pickup. There's also a multi-segment battery check to maximize battery life.
World-class tonewoods for a big sound and lookClassic Martin guitars have used spruce tops and solid mahogany backs and sides to create a warm, mids-focused tone that is popular for accompanying the human voice without being too powerful in any one frequency. The GPC-28E steps out in a bold direction with back and side woods made from East Indian rosewood for additional brightness and projection. The Sitka spruce top has a wide tonal range with excellent projection and articulation for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. These solid woods will make your GPC-28E age gracefully with better harmonics and balance over time.
