Martin LX1 Little Martin Travel Acoustic Guitar
Series: Little Martin Series
Body Shape: Modified 0-14 Fret (Travel Size)

Finish: Satin Natural
Overview
The Martin LX1 Little Martin is one of the most popular travel acoustic guitars in the world, combining compact size with the renowned tone and build quality of Martin. Designed as the smallest model in the Martin range, it delivers impressive projection and clarity despite its reduced dimensions.
At its core is a solid Sitka spruce top, paired with high-pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides in a mahogany pattern. This construction provides a balanced tone with clear highs and warm mids, while also offering excellent durability for travel and everyday use.
The compact Modified 0 body size and short scale make it comfortable for players of all levels, particularly beginners, younger players, or musicians looking for a reliable travel companion. Despite its size, it produces a tone that feels much larger than expected, making it suitable for practice, songwriting, and casual performance.
Supplied with a gig bag, the LX1 is built to go anywhere—from the sofa to the stage to the campfire.
