2020 Martin GPC-15ME Streetmaster Special Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar

This retro-inspired, cutaway, 000-size, mahogany-topped Martin is a "special" version of the Streetmaster-series 000 in that it's got an OM scale length, cutaway, and a pickup system wired-in at the factory. It definitely has that woody, even, balanced, mahogany-top thing going on and it handles nicely and puts out a good, punchy sound as an acoustic.

Amplified, these pickup systems can be cranked pretty decently before feedback so these make easy gigging guitars. Like new Taylors, the 9V battery box for the preamp is located at the endpin area which makes access much easier than on older Martin systems (through the soundhole and cursing the whole way through). Soundhole mounted controls make adjustment easier, too, and keep the looks clean.

Repairs included: minor setup adjustments.

Condition notes: this has very light usewear in the body here and there but it looks pretty fresh and new. It's all-original and good to go. The saddle is on the low side at the moment but it is the middle of the wettest part of the year when I'm posting this and I've known this guitar in winter when the saddle needed to be taller so I know it's at the lowest end of its top-swell/weather-change limit right now.


It comes with: sorry, no case, but I do have spare gigbags if needed.
