#FISHMAN SONITONE USB REVIEW SERIES#

The GPCRSGT is a modest-looking instrument, the most alluring visual aspect being the spruce soundboard with its lovely reddish tint and polished-gloss finish.

Meanwhile, instead of precious ebony, the fretboard and bridge are Richlite, a composite material made primarily from recycled paper. The neck is made from sipo, another mahogany substitute. ItвЂ™s got a Sitka spruce top the back and sides are sapele-a sit-in for mahogany. Our GPCRSGT boasts all-solid-wood construction. The GP in the name stands for grand performance-a relatively new body style for Martin, sort of a 14-fret mini jumbo, slightly wider and deeper than an OM (15.75 inches wide compared to 15 and 4.5 inches deep compared to 41/8). If the test model is any indication, though, the Mexican factory is producing instruments that are just as well-built as the venerated American-made Martins. The guitar is made at MartinвЂ™s Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, factory and is much more affordable than similar models originating at the companyвЂ™s domestic home base, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Not your grandfatherвЂ™s Martin, the GPCRSGT is outfitted with Fishman Sonitone electronics, with USB connectivity, making it easy to interface with a Mac or a PC.Д«ut whatвЂ™s especially nice about the GPCRSGT is its price, around a grand with a TKL hard-shell case. Its modified-V neck and low action make it effortless to play, and its voice, while a tad polite, is clear and balanced, adaptable to all styles and approaches.

Right out of the box, MartinвЂ™s new Road Series GPCRSGT is an agreeable com-panion.
