Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

Martin brings lasting richness back to life with the Martin & Co GPE Inception Maple electro-acoustic folk guitar.

The flamed maple back and sides, enhanced by a black walnut insert, deliver a clear, warm balance. The glued neck in satin-finish black walnut, matched to the fingerboard and bridge in black ebony, optimises comfort and tonal depth. A fusion of technology and precious woods that opens the way to a sound that's both powerful and refined, with a look that makes a statement.

With the Martin & Co GPE Inception Maple, you're holding in your hands much more than just a guitar: a true jewel of American technology, designed in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Its Grand Performance shape guarantees ample projection, while the glued neck construction ensures remarkable sustain and fluid playability. Every detail, like the gold-plated vintage-style oil-bath tuners, contributes to this authentic musical experience.

This Inception Maple comes with a black walnut fingerboard and bridge, a new feature that enhances tuning stability and adds depth to the sound. The European spruce top is distinguished by its high-gloss varnish and multi-strip rosette, testimony to meticulous craftsmanship. The black walnut insert on the back and sides adds a discreet touch of elegance while subtly influencing the tone.

Built-in LR Baggs Anthem electronics deliver a clear, natural sound when you plug in the guitar, ideal for gigging or recording. The 645mm scale, combined with the GE Modified Low Oval neck profile, makes the guitar comfortable and accessible for a variety of playing styles. The 406 mm fingerboard radius contributes to optimum comfort, whether you're playing arpeggios or powerful chords.

The moulded case supplied with the guitar provides foolproof protection when you're on the move. Whether you're on stage, in the studio or at home, the Martin & Co GPE Inception Maple remains true to its heritage, combining durability, aesthetics and sonic excellence, ready to follow you everywhere without ever faltering.
