Description
The Martin GPC Special Performing Artist Grand Performance Ovangkol features a blend of legendary Martin tone with solid-wood construction and elegant appointments. This gorgeous guitar was designed for the player searching for a fine acoustic/electric that is attractive yet versatile enough to cover a variety of musical styles and performance techniques. The body shape is a little deeper than your typical 000 or OM body shape. The extra depth gives you added volume, while producing a balanced tone across the entire musical spectrum. The end result is a tone that is deeper, fuller and louder than the traditional 000 shape.
