I have a similar Martin GPC Road Series special from Musicians Friend. It has same specs as the GPC 11 but with ebony fb and bridge. No gloss top. Paid us$ 699 on one day deal. Now goes for us$1049. Great guitar.

Just bought one today for my wife, she loves it . Great guitar sounds great right out of the box !

[@KevinMillard68]

awesome iam sure she will love it

[@jameswilliford5478]

I'll have to check this Martin out. I have Taylors and Yamahas...the lower end Taylors that have a soft case the cases are pretty good, actually look sturdier than the one shown here. The Yamaha soft cases are the best I've seen.

👍

I have one of these and I really like it. I also have a SC 13e that I really enjoy. Thank you for the nice video.

[@KevinMillard68]

Thanks for watching! and thanks for the comment

Just bought one on Amazon. Was thinking about returning it until I watched your video. It's still on the road on the way here. But it sounds great, and you point out so many great features that I wasn't aware of. Built in tuner? Awesome. I was wondering where the preamp was. And I was expecting a soft fabric case. The case looks awesome for a soft case. Very impressed. Can't wait to string it up and play.

Hope you enjoy it! i love mine

[@KevinMillard68]

[@joshuataylor672]

That’s a Road Series! I have the dreadnought version of that. I love it.

[@KevinMillard68]

awesome , they are great guitars

[@joshuataylor672]

@@KevinMillard68I bought a hard shell case. I’m not a fan of gig bags. They don’t protect well enough

[@Mjr1348]

What’s the difference between Mexico Martin and Mexico Taylor……. About 30 miles😂

[@KevinMillard68]

the martin is still mmillions of times better and you can get an all solid wood martin for under 2k you have to spend near 3k to get a solod wood taylor and well marting are just better either way

[@couron355]

🤣

[@vegaa.1645]

Taylor is better.

[@KevinMillard68]

to each their own i got rid of all my taylors and then went to martin 100% and recentally got rid of it found out it was the wide neck that caused my cramping of my fretting hand beautiful guitar sounded awesome for my music however i have sence gone to washburn and iam happy its a cheap 300 guitar but plays and sounds nice and no more hand problems either ..do i miss my martin sometimes but i have owned many of them over the years just wish they made more narrow necks but also sounded good with a narrow neck but no luck for me on that one without spending a crap load of money, taylors are nice as well but they have the worst frets in the industry for wearing out fast but some of them sound really nice and play nice to but agian spend alot of money to get a decent taylor.. its all preference in the end tho either way . so in total no guitar is perfect none is better than another it's preference of the player.
