The Korena take
The Natural GP-11E Special is Martin’s limited-edition Grand Performance acoustic-electric, made with a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides. Its acoustic response is described as warm, balanced and clear enough to serve fingerstyle playing as well as stronger strumming. Martin E1 electronics add onboard volume and tone adjustment for amplified work in a live or recording setup. A PA-profile neck, High Performance Taper and 20-fret layout complete the playing platform, with a softshell case included.
