The Little Martin series has quickly become a player favorite around Music Experience. The LX1RE builds on Martin's tradition of innovation and quality construction with its sustainable materials. Don't let its size fool you, the Little Martin has tons of tone and great looks to match. For this model, a solid sitka spruce top is paired with rosewood patterned HPL back and sides to produce a warm and assertive sound. Staying true to their commitment to sustainability, FSC certified Richlite is used for the fretboard and bridge. This eye-catching acoustic comes with Fishman Sonitone electronics that reproduce the beautiful tones effortlessly. The Little Martin LX1RE is built to give you great bang for your buck, and it delivers.

Sustainable building materials

One of the most appealing features of the Little Martin LX1 is how Martin designed it with materials that are simultaneously environmentally sustainable, durable, and more than capable of delivering traditional Martin acoustic tone! The bridge and fingerboard are made with FSC Richlite, a long-lasting composite material that offers old-school Martin tone but with space-age reliability. Richlite is totally unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, making it a perfect choice for musicians who travel often or live in challenging climates. In addition, the Rosewood HPL back and sides deliver a warm sound, and they're far less likely to dry out and crack compared to solid wood designs.

Onboard Fishman electronics

The LX1RE acoustic-electric guitar has onboard Fishman Sonitone electronics that faithfully reproduce the warm and mellow tones of your guitar. Since the preamp is mounted inside the sound hole, your volume and tone knobs are within easy reach and are very inconspicuous. With onboard electronics that are this good, you'll feel confident hitting the stage or the studio.

What Martin Says...

The Little Martin is big on tone, quality, and versatility and includes sustainable wood parts. New to the series, the LX1R features a solid spruce top for warmth and projection, paired with stylish rosewood pattern HPL. As the first model in its series with a pickguard, it also includes a laser-etched herringbone rosette and comes with a soft gig bag for easy transport so you can take your music anywhere. The Little Martin is ideal for travel but also makes a great student guitar.
