On the headstock is a cap of East Indian rosewood, bearing Martin’s traditional script logo.Ĭraftsmanship on the review model is tip-top, no big surprise for a modern Martin. Embellishments on the instrument are tastefully spare and inconspicuous-black binding, only around the top, a black end strip, and tiny dot markers on the fretboard. 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. It’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 Martin’s Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, factory and is much more affordable than similar models originating at the company’s domestic home base, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
