Big Martin Tone, Fun-Sized Package
Don’t let the size fool you—the Martin LX1E Little Martin is a cannon. This compact powerhouse delivers the legendary Martin resonance and clarity you crave in a travel-friendly format that’s just begging to be played. Built for the road, the couch, or the campfire, it’s got a solid Sitka Spruce top that sings with surprising projection and a rich, dynamic voice. It’s the real deal, just smaller.
Built for a Lifetime of Music
The back and sides are crafted from a durable, mahogany-patterned High-Pressure Laminate (HPL), making the LX1E incredibly resilient to the dings, dents, and humidity changes that come with travel and everyday play. This isn’t just a travel guitar; it’s a trusty musical companion that’s built to last. The mortise and tenon neck joint ensures a solid transfer of energy from the strings to the body, giving you sustain for days.
Effortless Playability
With its shorter 23″ scale length and comfortable Modified Low Oval neck shape, the LX1E feels slinky and fast. Bends are easier, chords feel less strenuous—it’s an absolute joy for long writing sessions or gigs. The FSC® Certified Richlite® fingerboard is smooth and durable, providing a consistent playing surface that feels great under the fingers from the first fret to the 20th.
Stage-Ready Electronics
When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Fishman® Presys VT electronics ensure your natural acoustic tone translates beautifully. The unobtrusive soundhole-mounted preamp gives you simple, effective volume and tone controls right at your fingertips. It’s a clean, reliable system that makes the LX1E a killer plug-and-play option for open mics, studio sessions, or Sunday services.
