With Smoother Playability From the Performing Artist Neck Profile

The GPCX1E's neck features Martin's Performing Artist profile which feels smooth and fast in your hands. Coupled with the belly bridge redesigned for enhanced comfort, you can play chords and lead lines with ease. The fingerboard has a gently beveled edge and refined string spacing for fatigue-free practicing and performing. The slim taper neck with a smooth satin finish lets your fingers glide up and down the maple fingerboard to reach every note accurately.
