Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the black GPCX1E combines a Grand Performance body with HPL top, back and sides and onboard Martin E-1 electronics. Its acoustic voice is described as balanced and projecting, while the cutaway opens access to the higher part of the 20-fret fingerboard. When amplification is needed, volume, tone and phase controls are on the guitar, with a chromatic tuner available for quick checks. A soft shell case supports transport between playing commitments.
