More Guitar for your Money
Road Series guitars are built using high-quality, hand-selected exotic tonewoods and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Every guitar is pleked for precision and expertly set up before leaving the factory for easy playability right out of the box. Just plug in and go. Easy-to-use built-in electronics give you classic Martin tone with crisp fidelity, while a built-in soundhole tuner automatically mutes the output, so you can tune up quietly even while plugged in. Starting at $899, these guitars are easy on the wallet but work hard for busy musicians and aspiring players.

Trey Hensley Plays the SC-13E Special
“
The GPC-13E’s distinctive tone delivers the uniform balance and wide frequency range of a modern flat-top without sacrificing the percussive attack and sweet overtones that characterize a classic Martin. While it has the powerful, commanding bass and loud volume projection of a Dreadnought, the midrange and treble remain prominent, rich and full as well without sounding harsh.”
