Cocobolo Pattern HPL Back and Sides Provide Rich, Warm Tones With Enhanced Durability
The GPCX2E Cocobolo gets its lush, resonant voice from its exotic cocobolo pattern HPL back and sides. Cocobolo is known for its intricate grain patterns and deep, warm tones. As a dense tropical hardwood, it also brings durability to the construction. The combination of spruce top and the cocobolo pattern HPL back and sides generates balanced articulation, clear treble chime and rich low-end warmth. Whether strumming rhythm or plucking melodic lines, the GPCX2E Cocobolo rewards you with singing tone and sustain.
Spruce Top Offers Balanced, Articulate Sound
Spruce is a popular top wood prized for its strength, lightness and balanced tone profile. On the GPCX2E Cocobolo, the solid spruce top provides crisp articulation with enough stiffness for excellent projection, while also being light and resonant. Expect clear, sparkling treble notes and tight lows from this spruce top. It pairs beautifully with the cocobolo back and sides to create a versatile acoustic guitar tone.
Slimmer Neck Profile Improves Comfort and Playability
Martin redesigned the neck to be slimmer and more comfortable on the hand. The profile is slightly thinner than a traditional classical guitar, providing effortless playability. The fingerboard also has a 16" radius and refined string spacing to facilitate chording, single-note runs and quick transitions up the neck. The beveled fingerboard edges enhance comfort. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned player, you'll appreciate how easily this smooth neck allows you to focus on making music.
Onboard Electronics Allow Plugging in Anywhere
The GPCX2E Cocobolo comes equipped with a Martin E-1 electronics system, complete with built-in tuner and discreet soundhole-mounted controls. Plug into an acoustic guitar amp or PA system to amplify your tone at any venue or recording session. The onboard preamp lets you shape your amplified sound with volume, tone and phase controls. Always be stage-ready with the versatile electronics in this acoustic-electric.
Softshell Case Included for Safe Transport and Storage

Interior padding cushions the guitar while the durable exterior protects it from bumps and weather. Keep your investment safe from harm with the included Martin softshell case.
