GPC-X2E Ziricote The remastered X Series is made to play. The acoustic-electric GPC-X2E features a hand-rubbed satin wood top and eye-catching high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides patterns—cocobolo with a spruce top or ziricote with a sapele top—for added durability and looks, without sacrificing that classic Martin sound. Playability enhancements include a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing, and a modernized bridge contour for a smooth and comfortable playing experience, while its Grand Performance body size provides a projective, balanced tone with added bass, and a cutaway helps you reach the highest frets. The GPC-X2E also features an elegant abalone pattern rosette, select hardwood neck, fingerboard, and bridge, and Martin E-1 electronics with a built-in chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, letting you plug in and play at any volume. All X Series models come with a softshell case. Learn More

“Salt Air, Dry Brush, Ocean Waves, Misted Forests, Weathered Boulders. Our home, California, inspires the design that sculpts the shape and timber that make D’Ambrosio Series.” The Eastman D’Ambrosio Series, designed and built in California, pays homage to the enduring Golden State tradition of innovating right to the edge. With beautifully worn curves echoing the coveted coastline and a player-centric design, the D’Ambrosio Series may feel comforting and familiar. However, these are unique instruments where innovation blends with tradition. When something new also feels reassuringly familiar in an old-fashioned way, you know you’ve found a new home. D’Ambrosio guitars carry on the heritage of matching California design with down-to-earth playability. Introducing the 
FullerTone Neck
 MORE TONE, More Sustain, More Stability At the heart of D’Ambrosio Series design lies a beautiful innovation: the FullerTone neck. Envisioned and brought to life by master luthier and head of design, Otto D'Ambrosio, this completely new long-tenon, 2 bolt, neck to body connection redefines industry standard. The body-to-neck joint is the most important connection on a guitar. It acts as a bridge of energy; transferring resonance, sustain and tone while providing stability to the guitar. The FullerTone neck fulfills this ambition, securing unprecedented three-times greater neck-to-body contact for unhindered resonance transfer. The gracious body geometry cradles the neck in perfect harmonious position, secured by two machine-threaded screws locked into steel anchors embedded in the neck. The complete design is a fusion of old-world craftsmanship and modular versatility—the first bolt-on neck tuned to rival the sustain and stability of a set-neck guitar. With the Fullertone neck, Otto’s vision for a guitar with seamless tonal continuity, from headstock to bridge, is fully realized; maximizing its tonal potential. We call it T.S.S: More Tone. More Sustain. More Stability. Beautiful Tonewoods Tell Stunning Stories Swamp Ash and wildfire-burned Phoenix Pine serves as the heart of D’Ambrosio Series. Wildfire-burned Phoenix Pine is one of two tonewoods that serve as the heart of D’Ambrosio Series Roasted Phoenix Pine, salvaged sustainably in the process of regenerating the Oregon wilds, is given a second life, with a controlled heat treatment granting complexity - modern era clarity with smoky overtones.

New from Eastman, Juliet is an evolution of Romeo’s ergonomic carves and graceful curves, sculpted for maximum comfort and playability. Striking features include an offset body with raised center bar and laid-in pickguard, making Juliet stand out in any player’s rig, on any player’s stage. Today’s Look, Tomorrow’s Feel Juliet features a lightweight Okume body and neck, with the waist and lower arm contours providing maximum playing comfort while sitting or standing. Each model comes with its own custom designed and uniquely flat inlaid pickguard contributing to an original look while providing both protection and character. The raised center bar adds soul and sustain to a brand new voice. A Solid Rock ‘n Roll Machine Whether you’re using the Schaller three-way Megaswitch to toggle between the Bare Knuckle Old Guard partially wax potted Humbuckers or the Old Guard low wound P90’s, there is no denying that Juliet is a rock n’ roll machine. A three-knob configuration provides two volumes and one tone for the bridge pickup, just like Juliet’s companion Romeo LA. The Antique Black Varnish model comes with a USA Bigsby B5 for players looking for a little extra bend. Not a Stock Headstock Juliet is the first Eastman to feature an in-line-six design, complete with Gotoh tuners.

It also includes a signed paper label that is numbered in sequence. Learn More

In light of his ever-expanding reputation and fan base, Martin collaborated with John Mayer on the creation of a second namesake guitar, one with many of the same attributes as his first OM-28JM Limited Edition, but one that would be more affordable and more widely available in the tradition of the popular Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton model. This tasteful Orchestra Model exhibits versatility for today's diverse contemporary musical styles. Like its predecessor, the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition features a top of Engelmann spruce and back and sides of East Indian rosewood for warm, rich tone. Scalloped "Hybrid" bracing enhances the full timbre of this tonewood combination. Body appointments are also similar, with a Style 45 rosette featuring a center ring of colorful paua shell, bold herringbone around the top, black/white back purfling around the back, grained ivoroid binding throughout, an HD Style zigzag back strip, and a traditional OM teardrop polished and beveled tortoise pickguard. The Spanish cedar neck with diamond volute is carved with playing comfort in mind, combining 1-11/16" width and low profile shape for easy fretting. The East Indian rosewood headplate sports Martin's Old Style decal in silver rather than the familiar gold (another nod to the OM-28JM John Mayer Signature Edition) and nickel Gotoh open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs. The black African ebony fingerboard highlights 1/8" mother of pearl position markers at the 5th, 7th (two), 9th, 15th and 17th frets, a unique 12th fret position marker of two dots flanking a slotted square, and John Mayer's signature inlaid in mother of pearl between the 19th and 20th frets. Style 45 white bridge pins and endpin are inlaid with abalone dots. The black African ebony bridge is fitted with a compensated TUSQ saddle, which combines with the factory-installed Martin Gold Plus Natural electronics for accurate, natural amplified sound. Adding to the beauty of this instrument is the flawless finish; vintage toner on the top, polished gloss nitrocellulose lacquer on the body and polished gloss on the headplate. To provide a touch of his personal style to the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition guitar, John Mayer has created a unique art deco-inspired monogram, which is embroidered on the special vintage Geib style hardshell case. Each guitar in this open series bears an interior label imprinted with the signatures of John Mayer and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV, and individually numbered in sequence. The Thinline Series Gold+Plus systems include an active endpin-mounted buffered preamp to achieve the most accurate and acoustic tone. The Gold+Plus Natural captures and amplifies the natural voice of instruments with well-balanced, evenly voiced top to bottom response. Includes case. Full specs are as follows: Body Style/Shape 000, 14-fret Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Color Natural with Vintage Toner Finish Polished Gloss (top, back, and sides), Satin (neck) Top Wood Solid Engelmann Spruce Back & Sides Wood Solid East Indian Rosewood Body Bracing Hybrid X Scalloped, 5/16" Solid Sitka Spruce Neck Wood Select Hardwood Fingerboard Material Solid Black Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Mother of Pearl (Dots: Single at 5th and 9th; Double at 9th and 12th)(Squares: Single at 15th and 17th) Binding Grained Ivoroid Neck Shape Low Profile Number of Frets 20 (total), 14 (clear) Scale Length 25.4" Tuning Machines Gotoh Nickel Open-Geared with Butterbean Knobs Bridge Material Solid Black Ebony Nut/Saddle Material Bone/16" Radius Compensated White TUSQ Nut Width 1-11/16" Body Length 19-3/8" Body Width 15" Body Depth 4-1/8" Overall Length 39-13/16" Electronics Martin Gold Plus Natural 1 Strings Martin SP Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Light Gauge Case Included Deluxe Hardshell with JM Logo Learn More
