Innovation from the inside out

The GPCE Inception is the culmination of both Martin & Co's acoustic instrument legacy and commitment to technological research. Inside the instrument you'll find their unique Skeletonised bracing, perforated with honeycomb-like channels. This design not only improves sustain and projection; it also aids airflow through the instrument and provides a lighter feel without compromising structure.

Sustainable tonewoods

Enjoy a punchy, ultra-clear sound thanks to a European Spruce Top specially selected with sustainability in mind; it's even FSC-certified. This is paired with lush Maple and Walnut for the sides and an eye-catching 3-piece design for the back. Married with an alluring Amber Fade Sunburst finish, and you've got an instrument that looks every bit as gorgeous as it sounds.

Outstanding sound, however you play

The GPCE Inception's tonewoods and technologically-advanced construction ensure beautiful acoustic projection. But for when you need to be amplified, the LR Baggs Anthem system (combining an under-saddle pickup and an augmented microphone) perfectly transforms its dynamic, organic unplugged sound into an amplified signal that truly delivers. Further sculpt your sound with easy-access volume, mix, and phase controls.

Guitar

Maple

Maple is a type of hardwood commonly used in the construction of guitar necks and fingerboards due to its strength, stability, and attractive appearance. It is known for its light color, fine grain pattern, and smooth texture, making it a popular choice among guitar manufacturers and players alike.

In guitar construction, maple is often used for:

  1. Necks: Maple is a popular wood choice for guitar necks due to its stability and durability. It provides a bright and articulate tone with good sustain, making it well-suited for a wide range of playing styles. Maple necks are often finished with a clear gloss or satin finish to highlight the natural beauty of the wood.
  2. Fingerboards: Maple is also used for guitar fingerboards, the smooth surface where the frets are embedded. Maple fingerboards offer a bright and snappy tone with excellent clarity and definition. They are often finished with a clear gloss or satin finish to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
  3. Top Woods: Maple is occasionally used as a top wood for electric guitars, particularly in semi-hollow and hollow-body designs. Maple tops can provide a bright and articulate tone with enhanced clarity and sustain.

Overall, maple is valued in guitar construction for its combination of strength, tonal properties, and aesthetic appeal. It is commonly used in conjunction with other woods, such as mahogany or alder, to achieve specific tonal characteristics and visual aesthetics in electric guitar designs.

Vintage

A vintage guitar is a guitar that is considered to be of significant age, typically over 30 years old, and often possesses historical, cultural, or collector’s value. Vintage guitars are highly sought after by collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, tone, playability, and historical significance.

Vintage guitars can come from various eras, each with its own unique characteristics and desirability.

Vintage guitars often exhibit signs of wear and aging, which can add to their character and authenticity. However, originality, condition, and provenance are crucial factors that determine the value of a vintage guitar. Well-maintained and all-original vintage guitars with documented history and provenance tend to command higher prices on the collector’s market.

While vintage guitars can be valuable investments, they are also cherished for their playability and the unique sonic characteristics they offer. Many musicians prefer vintage instruments for their mojo, vibe, and connection to music history.
