Martin is once again unlocking the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods with the GPCE Inception™ Maple—available in your choice of a sleek satin or all-new striking gloss finish. This acoustic-electric powerhouse blends cutting-edge innovation with domestic and certified materials, delivering a tone as dynamic as its look. The FSC®-certified European spruce top, offered in an amber fade sunburst, provides quick response and powerful projection, while the maple back and sides, accented by a black walnut wedge, produce a bright, articulate sound with just the right touch of warmth. Martin’s skeletonized bracing and sonic channeling technology, purpose-built for these specific tonewoods, optimize response and reduce mass, increasing both sustain and amplitude—a rare feat in acoustic guitar design. The black walnut neck, finished in an amber fade sunburst, pairs with an FSC-certified ebony fingerboard and bridge, enhancing both playability and tonal depth. Topped off with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, gold open-gear tuners, and refined black walnut binding, the GPCE Inception Maple is where nature and technology meet to create something truly extraordinary.
