Martin Special Birdseye HPL X Series LX Little Martin Acoustic Guitar Cognac

The stunning Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye X Series LX was crafted to ensure a full-bodied, lush sound that��s perfect for beginning to professional musicians. Built from famous Martin high-pressure laminate, this acoustic guitar shares many of the tonal characteristics of wood, with enhanced durability and ethical, sustainable material sourcing. Spruce bracing substantiates the guitar��s volume and tone, while a Richlite fingerboard and comfortably carved short-scale neck offer supreme playability. The HPL LX Little Martin in cognac birdseye sounds as good as it looks, and is the ideal acoustic for those seeking the dreadnought experience in a more compact frame. ??

Scaled-Down Dreadnought Shape

The Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye LX is a dedicated mini dreadnought for campfire singalongs, busking, modest gatherings and travel. As the smallest guitar the brand produces, the HPL LX Little Martin may be scaled down, but it lacks none of the sound of its standard-size brethren. Its deceptively powerful sonic fingerprint is certainly one of a kind, and while beginning players will prefer its shortened scale length and easier playability, veteran guitarists will love how much authentic Martin sound this acoustic guitar produces. Excellent for travel, the LX Little Martin in cognac birdseye additionally makes a great ��couch guitar�� for more laidback, casual strums. ?

Durable and Sustainable HPL

A defining feature of the Martin LX acoustic guitar is its high-pressure laminate top, back and sides finished in a birdseye maple pattern with a cognac stain. HPL is a durable composite material made from paper and resin that��s topped with an artificial wood pattern for aesthetic purposes��in this case, eye-catching birdseye maple. Using high-pressure laminate lends itself to a sturdier instrument that��s more resistant to climate change, so it��s ideal for touring musicians or those who��d prefer to leave their prized case queen at home. The Martin HPL production process is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, meeting the highest standards of ethical, sustainable production.???

Specialized Neck Construction

The HPL Cognac Birdseye LX Little Martin incorporates a solid mortise-and-tenon neck joint for unwavering stability and optimal resonance with the guitar��s body. The neck material consists of multiple layers of birch, again pressed and bonded under extremely high pressure for strength and stability. Its FSC-certified Richlite fingerboard is smooth and playable to the touch, offering plenty of definition and sustain from chord to chord and note to note. The X Series Little Martin in cognac birdseye features a modified low oval neck shape with a 23" scale length and 16" radius for effortless fretting all the way across the board.

Ultimate Portability

This special HPL LX Little Martin, with its distinctive cognac birdseye pattern, is the perfect travel buddy. With a smaller body, shorter scale length and included gig bag, it��s an acoustic guitar you can confidently take with you anywhere. Don��t forget that HPL construction doesn��t "breathe" with the elements the same way an all-wood body does, which translates to greater stability when you��re on the move. Dry, humid or anywhere in between, the Martin HPL Cognac Birdseye LX is a reliable acoustic guitar for traveling. ??
