NAMM 2021: Martin has unveiled four more models it will unveil during NAMM
Believe in Music Week, including a new twelve-string and two guitars topped with ziricote veneers.
Grand J-16E 12-String
This 12-string is crafted with East Indian rosewood back and sides, and a Sitka spruce top, as well as scalloped X-bracing for extra resonance. The neck is Martin’s High-Performance Taper shape, compensating for the difficulty of playing a 12-string.
It lists for $2,099.
GPC-13E Ziricote
This single-cutaway guitar features a back and sides made out of a fine ziricote veneer, meaning distinctive high-contrast grain patterns across the instrument. It’s also fitted with a Fishman MX-T set of electronics as well as an output-muting soundhole tuner.
Lists for $1,299.
D-13E Ziricote
If the ziricote veneer construction of the GPC-13E Ziricote intrigued you, but you prefer non-cutaway acoustics, the D-13E Ziricote is for you. Listing for a similar price, Its fitted with the same Fishman MX-T electronics and soundhole tuner as its GPC-13E Ziricote sibling.
Lists for $1,249.
DJR-10E StreetMaster
This guitar features a slightly distressed finish across its smaller take on the Dreadnought body shape for a ‘worn-in’ look and feel. Its body is also thinner than a normal Dreadnought’s, and its neck is Martin’s own High-Performance Neck Taper shape. It’s packed with a set of Fishman Sonitone electronics.
Lists for $699.
