Martin Special GPC Road Series Etimoe Fine Veneer Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

I bought the Martin Road Series Etimoe wood guitar. This guitar sounds great and looks nice, it is comfortable and smooth to play, with fresh strings and properly adjusted string height. I have had it adjusted several times, by a professional luthier, just in one year of purchasing it. With this guitar, the unique wood is too sensitive to temperature change and climate. (I keep the humidipaks in the case as I was advised). Not really worth the buy, if I can only play it certain times a year, and only in certain places. 10 minutes in direct sunlight on a Michigan summer evening is all it took to mess it up at one outdoor gig. Luckily another musician was kind enough to let me borrow their guitar for the rest of the gig. I will stick to buying cheap guitars that can handle a warm sunny day.

The GPC13e has everything you want for the price point. It has beautiful tone, great looks and is dependable. I play this guitar daily whether it's for writing, solo acoustic or just jamming.

This is my first Martin and I couldn't be more happier. Very easy to play and the sound is awesome

Sounds awesome. Very bright but also focused lows and mids. I have multiple USA made Martins and this is right up there with them. I like the richlite fretboard reminds me of ebony, intonation out of the box was great. Love the electronics. The Etimoe back and sides look stunning. If you are looking for the high end MIM Martin this is it. If you have an extra couple hundred go for the Made in USA but all and all this competes with the 2K dollar Martins for sure!

Got this about 2 weeks as a guitar center exclusive guitar and it is an amazing piece of work that sounds as good as it looks. When I first tried it I even picked over the d28 that they had. And it comes with great electronics.
