Martin Road Series GPC-13E Sitka/Ziricote Natural

The 14-fret cutaway on this Grand Performance model is striking, but it’s the back and sides that really grab your attention. They’re made from a fine veneer of ziricote—a tonewood with a deeply layered grain that has a mesmerizing mix of light tones and dark veins and a majestic, cathedral-like look. Beyond its stunning appearance, this professional grade guitar is equipped with Fishman® MX-T electronics and a soundhole tuner that auto mutes the output so your audience won’t know when you’re tuning. Yet the best part might be a price that’s every bit as attractive as the guitar.
