Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in black HPL across its top, back and sides, the right-handed GPC-X1E brings a Grand Performance acoustic-electric format to stage and session work. At five pounds, it is described as easy to transport and wear while playing. The deep cutaway reaches the upper register, and the Performing Artist neck profile, beveled fingerboard edge and modern belly bridge focus on playing comfort. Martin E-1 electronics provide onboard volume, tone and phase control, plus a chromatic tuner for plug-in use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Plugging into a PA during gigs where onboard volume, tone and phase controls are useful.
- Recording and session work that benefits from a lightweight acoustic-electric with a deep cutaway.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is right-handed.
