Read the full Martin LX1E Little Martin reviewĬort, albeit a smaller name in the world of acoustic guitars, is producing some of the highest-quality instruments coming out of China at the moment. It's really easy to dial in: we scooped a little lower midrange and that was about it. Like its acoustic voice, the Martin sounds very 'conventional' plugged in and that's no bad thing.

It definitely sounds more conventional with the contour switch engaged, however, which cleans up the mids a little and adds some crispness. Our Martin has only pre-set EQ, and without that engaged, things are a little middly and boxy when plugged in. The material may be man-made, but the fingerboard and bridge look like thick ebony, while the dark-hued HPL back and sides are dark, rich mahogany with the back's central core material giving a dark binding line, which evokes a classy feel. Its conventional sound perhaps leads us to traditional 'American' fingerstyle, and its pushy voice would certainly be heard above bigger guitars, both in an ensemble or a recording. If you're a classic Martin fan, this is just miniaturized with a lovely crisp-edged voice. The Ed Sheeran-favoured Little Martin does feel a little industrial, but from the first strum, its more conventional spruce-top voice has us captivated.
