AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
40/LM-LX1E
The Martin LX1E Little Martin is a compact acoustic-electric that packs a serious punch for its size. Built with a solid spruce top and mahogany-pattern HPL back and sides, this travel-sized guitar delivers a surprisingly warm, resonant tone with great clarity. Whether you're a young player, frequent traveler, or someone who just loves a small-bodied instrument with big character, the LX1E is up for the task. Its short 23-inch scale and Modified Low Oval neck shape make it especially comfortable for smaller hands and relaxed playing sessions.
Equipped with a Fishman Sonitone pickup system, the LX1E is ready for the stage or studio. The Richlite fingerboard and bridge are durable and eco-friendly, and the guitar’s birch laminate neck provides extra stability for changing environments. With reliable build quality, easy playability, and iconic Martin tone in a portable format, the LX1E is a smart choice for guitarists of all levels.

I bought Martin about a few weeks ago and it's awesome. Proper small body instrument. The High pressure laminate really improves the durability and also offers a brilliant. Right sound. The fish man pick up is amazing as always. I think that the tuner could've been better and accurate other than that just awesome.
I did have a tough time deciding on a travel guitar as there are a number of options. If your budget is less than a 1000 dollars, I think the Martin is a good choice as it comes with a Sitka spruce top, Mahogany sides and back, Richlite fingerboard which looks like ebony and doesn't warp. Another very good feature is the high pressure laminated neck which prevents warping at sudden temperature changes which can happen frequently during travel. It has a decent fishman pick up with tuner, EQ contour and phase! Overall 7/10
