Compact Size With Classic Martin Tone

You'll appreciate the portable size of the Little Martin LX1E, with its modified O-style body that's designed for travel and smaller players. The guitar still delivers impressive volume and projection thanks to its solid spruce top, which produces the bright, lively tone Martin is known for. The spruce top responds beautifully to your playing dynamics, with sweet, singing highs. Mahogany back and sides add a balanced warmth in an environmentally-friendly high-pressure laminate, while retaining the LX1E's lightweight carry-anywhere design. With its smaller size and narrower 1-11/16" nut width, the Little Martin feels comfortable to hold and play for long periods.

Plug in the Fishman Sonitone Electronics

The LX1E comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, featuring easy-access volume and tone controls mounted discretely inside the soundhole. Simply plug into an amp or PA system to amplify your sound, with the signature clarity of the undersaddle piezo pickup. The Sonitone preamp provides a natural acoustic tone when amplified, with a simple one-band EQ to shape your desired sound. The preamp is powered by an easy-to-change 9V battery. With the Fishman system, you can confidently plug in and perform anywhere with the impressive amplified tone of the Little Martin LX1E.
