Martin LX1E Little Martin, CF Martin & Co Little Martin LX 1 E / LX1E Elektro / Akoestisch inclusief Luxe Gig Bag

Just because you don't have room for a standard-sized guitar doesn't mean you have to give up on playing a Martin! Quite the opposite, thanks to the Little Martin.

The LX1E looks like a traditional Martin, except it fits in an airplane's overhead compartment. Whether you're a tireless traveler, a student short on space, or a musician who seizes every moment to practice scales, the Little Martin is an instrument that looks like a toy but sounds like a Martin. In fact, one look at the logo adorning the familiar headstock shape is all it takes to be reassured.

You have to get used to it.
Admittedly, the very short 23-inch scale length requires some adjustment, but those with smaller hands will be delighted, and those with larger hands will be able to perform otherwise unimaginable feats. The compact body dimensions prove perfectly comfortable for those accustomed to 000s and other OMs. As for dreadnought enthusiasts, they won't experience arm pain after hours of playing, something they're unlikely to miss…

A nomadic vocation.
The woods chosen demonstrate a true consistency with the X series models: the top is Sitka spruce, like the vast majority of the brand's guitars, the body is laminate, and the fingerboard is Richlite, keeping the price consistent with its intended use as a travel guitar without sacrificing quality. And, as is often the case, you'll play your Little Martin everywhere, to the point that it might just become your favorite.
