*This instrument was on display at the 2026 Winter NAMM show. It has been hand-inspected with any significant playwear listed below in detail. The instrument includes its full factory warranty and original case. We'll complete a full professional setup before shipping.*

The X Series is made to play. The acoustic-electric GPC-X1E Black is made up of high-pressure laminate (HPL) top, back, and sides in a striking satin black finish that doesn’t sacrifice that classic Martin sound. Playability enhancements include a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth and comfortable playing experience, while its Grand Performance body size provides a projective, balanced tone with added bass, and a cutaway to help you reach the highest frets. The GPC-X1E Black also comes with satin tuners and Martin E-1 electronics, featuring a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, letting you plug in and play at any volume. All X Series models come with a softshell case.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument is free of any major wear, marks and/or blemishes. (See pics)
