Withdrawal termsDescription
The LX1E's modified O-body is exceptionally comfortable and easy to handle, and when you combine the modified O-body with a shorter scale length of 584 mm (61 mm shorter than a full-size western guitar), you get a guitar that is designed to take with you on the go, and which is also suitable for musicians with small hands who find full-size guitars too unwieldy.With a solid grand top and mahogany HPL on the back and sides, the LX1E delivers a rich Martin tone in a guitar that is approximately 14 cm shorter than a standard dreadnought western guitar. One of the appealing features of the Little Martin LX1E is that Martin has built it from materials that are environmentally sustainable, durable, and capable of delivering a traditional Martin acoustic tone! The bridge and fretboard are made of FSC Richlite, a long-lasting composite material that offers a characteristic Martin tone and is also exceptionally unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity. The choice of HPL for the back and sides gives the LX1E a warm tone, and HPL is also far less prone to drying out and cracking compared to many solid wood materials. This makes the LX1 the perfect choice for musicians who travel frequently or live in challenging climates.
Martin did not make the microphone system itself, but instead uses Fishman, which is the leading manufacturer of microphone systems for string instruments. The Martin LX1E is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup, which together produces a realistic and pleasant amplified sound. The pickup is controlled by a volume and a tone control, which are discreetly located in the soundhole.
