First introduced in 2010, the Martin Guitar GP (or Grand Performance) has since become a popular choice for both professional musicians and hobbyists. Designed to offer a balance of power and clarity, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles and musical genres.

CASE/GIG BAG: Hardshell case included.

"The Martin GP-14-CUSTOM GP-14 Custom is a guitar that embodies the essence of beauty and exceptional sound. As the owner of Easy Music Center, I can confidently say that this instrument is truly remarkable.

Crafted with Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, this guitar boasts an absolutely stunning appearance. The back, in particular, showcases a lovely look that surpasses any other guitar we have ever carried. The grain reminds me of an angels wings tucked neatly away ready to spread.

The binding material, Highly Flamed Koa, not only adds a touch of the Hawaiian islands to the guitar but also enhances its overall appeal. This exquisite feature complements the instrument's visual charm, making it a true work of art.

Now, let's talk about the sound. The Martin GP-14-CUSTOM GP-14 Custom is, without a doubt, the best sounding acoustic guitar we have ever had the pleasure of offering in the history of our store. If you appreciate a bright and vibrant tone, this guitar may not be for you. However, if you seek a guitar with a massive bass response, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better option, even among larger guitars.

When I play this guitar, I am immediately struck by its rich, full-bodied sound. It's an experience that takes my breath away. The depth and resonance it produces are simply unparalleled. If I had to use one word to define its sound, it would be "rich." This guitar has the power to transport you to a world of musical bliss.

Martin GP-14-CUSTOM GP-14 Custom is a masterpiece that combines stunning aesthetics with an extraordinary sound. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that Martin puts into their instruments. Whether you're a professional musician or a passionate enthusiast, this guitar will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

One of our long time employees, Jericho Sombrio, designed this guitar with Martin's Custom Shop. It is a must see."
