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.

We have Guitars in all types, including acoustic, electric, bass guitars and electro-acoustic, each offering different tonal characteristics and playing styles. For many, the guitar is both a tool of expression and a lifelong obsession—lending itself equally to raw power, subtle nuance, and everything in between.

Maple

Maple is a popular tonewood used in the construction of guitar necks, fretboards, and bodies. Known for its bright, clear sound with strong attack and sustain, maple adds definition and snap to your tone. It’s also prized for its durability and smooth playing feel. Visually, maple often features a light, attractive grain and can be finished in various ways to highlight its natural beauty. Many iconic guitars use maple components to achieve that classic, vibrant sound.

Sunburst

Sunburst is a classic guitar finish featuring a gradient blend of colours that typically fade from a darker edge to a lighter centre, resembling the glow of a setting sun. This timeless style is popular on both electric and acoustic guitars and adds visual depth and character to the instrument. Sunburst finishes come in various variations—such as vintage, cherry, or tobacco sunburst—and have been favoured by many iconic guitar models throughout history.

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.
