CHF 649.00

These sturdy little guitars are ideal for people who travel a lot. The design is absolutely plain, no bindings, fret markers on the side of the fretboard only, satin finish. The birch laminate neck with its Richlite fingerboard is extra stable and insensitive to humidity changes. Back and sides are made of high pressure laminate (HPL), a very strong and dense material, consisting of multiple layers of paper and resin with amazing sonic properties. For those of you who are looking for the ultimate in stability there are two models with HPL tops, for those who want a more traditional, open sound there are the models with solid sitka spruce tops, but you shouldn’t just leave these in your trunk.

The Martin LX1 Life is Good® acoustic guitar combines legendary craftsmanship with a spirit of optimism, creating a musical experience that transcends sound. Ideal for travel, practice, or casual play, this guitar features a Life is Good print on its highpressure laminate (HPL) top, celebrating positivity and the beauty of nature. The figured mahogany patterned HPL back and sides ensure durability and a rich tone, perfect for on-the-go musicians facing changing humidity and temperature. The compact, modified 0 body size offers exceptional comfort and sound quality, with spruce X bracing enhancing its tonal clarity and projection. Equipped with a Richlite® fingerboard and bridge, it combines modern materials with classic feel, while the birch laminate neck ensures smooth transitions between chords. A custom softshell case makes it easy to transport and protect your instrument, ensuring you’re always ready to share the joy of music. The LX1 Life is Good is designed to bring out the best in your music and mindset, embracing the simple pleasures that make life truly good.
