A Martin Grand Auditorium with Fishman Aura Electronics
The Martin GPC-18E acoustic-electric guitar gives you the comfort and tone of a Grand Auditorium with the convenience of natural live sound. From the toneful and classic combination of a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides to the smooth ebony fretboard, the GPC-18E offers clear and balanced tone. And the onboard Fishman Aura VT Enhance pickup system gives your plugged-in tone the natural, woody warmth of a truly acoustic sound. You need to check out the Martin GPC-18E acoustic-electric guitar if you need a great sounding, performance-based acoustic.
Martin GPC-18E Grand Auditorium Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:

Comfortable Grand Auditorium body style
Fishman Aura VT Enhance
Timeless combination of mahogany and spruce

Comfortable Grand Auditorium body style
The forward, balanced tone of the GPC-18E comes from its Grand Auditorium body style. This body style provides excellent projection and focus with a warmth that is never booming and detail that is never harsh. This sound is popular for both fingerstyle nuance and full-chord strumming. The Grand Auditorium size gives you more lows than the 000 models, but it is still supremely comfortable to sling over your shoulder for marathon gigs. We sell a lot of Martin Grand Auditoriums as Sweetwater for their incredible versatility.
Fishman Aura VT Enhance
Fishman is just as much a leader in acoustic amplification as Martin is in guitar manufacturing. These two companies have placed the Aura VT Enhance electronics system in this GPC-18E to give it a natural and expressive voice when performing live through an amp or PA system. The Aura preamps have been favorites of players for years. But the VT Enhance raises the bar by using discreet soundhole-mounted controls for the pickup's volume and tone. You can rest easy knowing that the natural sound of your GPC-18E will come through the speakers loud and clear.
Timeless combination of mahogany and spruce
Classic Martin guitars like this GPC-18E have used spruce tops and solid mahogany backs and sides to create a warm, mids-focused tone that is popular for accompanying the human voice without being too powerful in any frequency. Chosen as much for its clean look as its tone, Sitka spruce has a wide tonal range with excellent projection and top-end detail. And these solid woods on your GPC-18E will age gracefully, enhancing harmonics and having a greater tonal balance.
