Discover the future of acoustic guitar craftsmanship with Martin’s groundbreaking GPCE Inception, unveiled at NAMM 2024. This innovative instrument sets a new standard in guitar manufacturing, blending traditional aesthetics with revolutionary design.
Martin GPCE Inception
Martin’s latest creation, the GPCE Inception, might seem familiar with its classic single-cutaway shape and stunning Amber Fade Sunburst finish. However, it’s what lies beneath that sets it apart. The GPCE Inception features an unprecedented skeletonized bracing design, a game-changer in acoustic guitar construction.
Skeletonized Bracing
This unique one-of-a-kind skeletonized scalloped bracing, combined with sonic channels, is meticulously crafted for the guitar’s specific blend of tonewoods. Martin’s commitment to innovation shines through in the Inception, which boosts sustain and amplitude, enhances airflow, and maintains structural integrity while reducing mass.
Enhanced Sustain
The innovation doesn’t stop there. The GPCE Inception redefines the sound of maple, offering an unparalleled tonal quality. Martin’s spectral analysis tests confirm that this new design significantly enhances sustain and amplitude.
Sustainable
Fred Greene, Vice President of Product Management at Martin, emphasizes the sustainable and innovative approach of the GPCE Inception. Made from sustainably sourced North American woods, including FSC-certified European spruce and maple, the guitar respects our planet while delivering exceptional sound.
LR Baggs
The guitar’s specifications are equally impressive. It features sustainably sourced woods, black walnut binding, maple arrow fingerboard inlays, gold open gear tuners, a 25.4” scale length, and LR Baggs Anthem electronics.
Priced at $3,999, the GPCE Inception is a testament to Martin’s vision for the future of guitar making. With hints of a broader Inception series in the works, this model could mark the beginning of a new era for Martin guitars.
