Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed Martin LX1E Little Martin combines a compact acoustic-electric format with a solid spruce top, high-pressure laminate back and sides, and a 23-inch scale. Its Fishman Sonitone system uses an under-saddle transducer and a soundhole-mounted preamp, so the guitar can be connected to an amplifier or PA while volume and tone adjustments remain inside the soundhole. FSC-certified Richlite is used for the fingerboard and bridge, and the supplied soft gig bag supports transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players needing a compact acoustic-electric guitar for amplified rehearsals, performances, or PA connection.
- Making quick volume and tone changes from controls mounted inside the soundhole.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Players who require a cutaway body.
- Players seeking a guitar with a feedback filter.
