The Martin Road Series Special GPC-10E StreetMaster blends the warm, woody voice of an all-solid sapele build with a road-worn aesthetic that looks and feels like a guitar that’s already lived a few stories. Built on Martin’s versatile Grand Performance cutaway platform, this Guitar Center Exclusive is designed for players who want comfort, reliability and stage-ready tone with a touch of vintage flair. Its all-solid sapele construction delivers focused mids, balanced lows and clear note definition, while scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and responsiveness. A hand-finished Performing Artist neck and FSC Richlite fingerboard provide a smooth, broken-in playing feel, and onboard Fishman Presys VT electronics make it easy to plug in and play the moment inspiration strikes.
All-Solid Sapele for Warmth and Focused Midrange
The GPC-10E StreetMaster features all-solid sapele construction, giving it a warm, direct voice with strong midrange presence and excellent note clarity. Compared to spruce-topped designs, sapele offers a slightly woodier, more focused response that works especially well for rootsy strumming, fingerpicking and singer-songwriter styles. Built on a Grand Performance cutaway body, it balances projection and comfort with easy upper-fret access, while scalloped X-bracing helps the top respond dynamically across a wide range of playing styles.
Performing Artist Neck for a Smooth, Broken-In Feel
The select hardwood Performing Artist neck with a high-performance taper offers a fast, comfortable feel that adapts easily across styles, whether you’re digging into chords or moving through melodic lead lines. A hand-applied neck finish gives the guitar a naturally worn-in feel from the start, while the FSC Richlite fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface with consistent response across the neck. Combined with the cutaway body design, it creates a playing experience that feels effortless and inviting.
Fishman Presys VT Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone
Equipped with Fishman Presys VT electronics, the GPC-10E StreetMaster delivers a clear, natural amplified voice that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic character. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls provide quick access to volume and tone adjustments without interrupting your playing, keeping the system simple and unobtrusive. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it offers straightforward performance whether you’re on stage, recording or rehearsing.
StreetMaster Styling With Road-Ready Simplicity
The distressed StreetMaster finish gives the guitar a comfortably worn-in look that complements its stripped-down character, while subtle details like the single-ring fiber rosette and Style 28 dot inlays keep the design rooted in classic Martin style. Chrome enclosed-gear tuners provide dependable tuning stability, and the satin finish helps the guitar resonate freely while maintaining a natural, broken-in feel. A softshell case is included for easy transport wherever the next session or show takes you.
A Vintage-Inspired Road Series Guitar Built for the Modern Stage
The Martin Road Series Special GPC-10E StreetMaster delivers a comfortable, road-ready acoustic experience shaped by warm all-solid sapele tone and effortless playability. With its broken-in aesthetic, responsive feel and reliable onboard electronics, it’s a guitar designed to travel easily between home, stage and studio. Simple, expressive and built for real-world playing, it captures the spirit of a well-loved Martin from the very first chord.
