LX1 Mahogany Guitar

MARTIN

LX1 Mahogany Guitar
CHF 499.00

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 spruce tops, but you shouldn’t just leave these in your trunk.

The Modified 0-14 Fret body makes this guitar very transportable. While the HPL back and sides with mahogany finish, along with the birch laminate neck and Richlite fretboard make this guitar very robust, the solid spruce top gives the necessary warmth and projection.
