The original Little Martin LX1 is arguably the world's best selling travel-sized acoustic guitar, with it’s popularity helped in part by a certain Ed Sheeran, who famously plays one to this day.
Being a smaller sized guitar, the LX1 features a scaled-down dreadnought style body design with a scale length of 23 inches and a much slimmer neck profile than a standard-sized acoustic, so it makes for an ideal guitar for children or players with smaller hands. That said, the fingerboard and fret spacing still remain large enough to feel comfortable for players who are used to a full-sized guitar.
In terms of construction, the LX1KE features a solid Sitka spruce top, and then high-pressure laminate Koa back and sides, so you get that combination of a lovely rich, resonance tone from the top with the durability of the laminate woods, so the guitar’s nice and tough for taking on your travels. The neck is also made from laminate wood, this time birch, so it’s super super strong and stable, and as well as feeling smooth and speedy to play, that laminate construction also gives the neck a pretty cool, unique appearance.
The neck’s topped with a 20 fret richlite fingerboard with a matching richlite bridge, and this is fitted with a compensated saddle, which when combined with the high quality martin closed gear machineheads, ensures stable and accurate tuning and intonation.
Being an electro model, the LX-1E Koa is fitted with a Fishman Sonitone Piezo pickup system, with volume and tone controls hidden away inside the sound hole. So when you combine this with the pre-drilled buttons to fit a strap and the quality padded gig bag that comes included, you’ve got great little guitar to take gigging or to open mic nights.
Don't forget, this is a super limited edition model, exclusive to PMT, so take a quick look here with PMTVUK and grabs yours at your nearest Professional Music Technology store...
