Comfortable Grand Performance body style





The forward, balanced tone of the GPC-10E comes from its Grand Performance body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus with a warmth that doesn’t boom in the low end or harsh out in the higher range. This sound is popular for both fingerstyle nuance and full-chord strumming. The Grand Performance size gives you more lows than 000 models but is still supremely comfortable during marathon gigs.





Quality craftsmanship for timeless tone





For its top, back, and sides, Martin’s luthiers opted to outfit the GPC-10E in solid sapele. Tonally, sapele is comparable to mahogany, differentiated by the brighter profile and higher-spectrum shimmer that results from the wood’s comparably higher density. The characteristic sapele sound is consistently balanced across the tonal spectrum, which makes it suitable for a broad range of playing styles.





Smooth-playing Performing Artist neck





Whether you’re recording for hours or playing out late into the night, you’ll be glad you got a Martin Road Series GPC-10E. This road-worthy acoustic-electric guitar features one of Martin’s outstanding Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on the hand, allowing you to play those extended sessions in comfort.
