Martin brings the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods back to life with the GPCE Inception Maple, now enhanced by a stunning glossy finish. A true concentrate of innovation, this electro-acoustic combines certified materials and modern craftsmanship for a sound as bold as its aesthetics. The top, made of FSC-certified European spruce, dressed in an amber sunburst gloss finish, offers a quick response and powerful projection. The back and sides in maple, highlighted by a black walnut inlay, deliver a clear, precise sound with just the right amount of warmth. Specifically designed for these resonance woods, Martin’s exclusive lightweight bracing and sound channeling technology optimizes response while reducing mass, allowing for better note sustain and increased volume — a rarity in the acoustic guitar world. The black walnut neck, featuring a satin finish matching the amber sunburst, now pairs with an FSC-certified ebony fingerboard and bridge, a new addition that enhances playing comfort and tonal depth. Equipped with the excellent LR Baggs Anthem system, vintage-style gold oil-bath tuners, and refined black walnut binding, the GPCE Inception Maple embodies the perfect meeting of nature and technology, serving inspiration.
