OVERVIEW
Comfortable, portable, and distinctively Martin!
If you travel often and want to bring a 6-string companion along, few instruments fit the bill better than Little Martin series guitars! The LX1E’s modified O-style body is about as comfortable as acoustic guitars get, sporting a solid spruce top and mahogany-pattern HPL back and sides to deliver luscious Martin tone in a luggage-bin sized package. FSC Certified Richlite is used for both the fingerboard and bridge — this composite material is all but impervious to changes in temperature and humidity, while still offering a sleek, smooth playing surface. Finally, a Fishman Sonitone pickup faithfully replicates your unplugged tone, making the Little Martin LX1E a workhorse that’s equally at home on the stage, in the studio, or on the couch!
