Martin LX1 Little Martin Acoustic Guitar
Catalogue No: igMAR-LX1
The diminuative size, short scale - and the heavy duty gig bag - make this an ideal travel companion whilst still holding its own against far larger instruments at the price point tonally. The addition of a solid spruce top gives this a lot more brightness than its HPL topped little brother the LXM.
What they say
While the Little Martin is our smallest guitar, it is very big on tone, quality and versatility. The LX1 model features a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany high-pressure laminate HPL back and sides. It’s ideal for travel, student practice or for just playing around the house or campfire. This model includes SUSTAINABLE WOOD CERTIFIED parts.
