Road Modern series." width=""></p><h2>Overview of the Martin & Co. GPC-13E Modern</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The Martin GPC-13E Modern combines contemporary style with stage-ready performance in an extremely versatile Grand Performance cutaway format. The solid spruce top paired with koa fine veneer back and sides delivers a clear and balanced sound, with bright highs and rich, defined mids. The Scalloped X-Brace bracing increases volume and responsiveness, while the Grand Performance shape ensures a projective and balanced voice, with a slightly more pronounced low-frequency response than more compact formats, making it suitable for a wide variety of musical styles. The Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper ensures smooth and fast playability across the entire fingerboard. Aesthetic details, such as the Diamond & Squares Long inlays, nickel-plated Ratio® Open Gear tuners, and white body binding, lend a modern touch to a classically inspired design. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics with an integrated tuner and supplied with a Softshell case, the GPC-13E Modern is designed to push your sound in new directions, both on stage and in the studio.</p><h2>Specifications of the Martin & Co.
