The Little Martin That Could!

The LXK2 Little Martin features Koa-grained HPL (high pressure laminate) on the top, back, sides, and headstock. The Martin LXK2 fingerboard and bridge are crafted from FSC Certified Richlite, and the neck is carved from natural colored Stratabond. Like its predecessors, the Martin LXK2 is built with the same Martin quality craftsmanship, with an emphasis on producing great sound in a smaller guitar. The LXK2 Little Martin is durable and easy to play. The LXK2 is the perfect "pick up and play" guitar that lets you jam at home or on the road and is the perfect choice for students. Your LXK2 Little Martin comes with a padded gig bag made of a tough ballistic cloth exterior, plush interior, backpack straps and a front zipper compartment.

Pleasant surprise.

I ordered the Little Martin from Sweetwater because I didn't want to take a more expensive guitar in a car banging around Michigan's Upper Peninsula for a week and a half, but I still wanted to practice every day.

Firstly, Sweetwater's ordering process and customer service are excellent.

The surprise was how much fun I have playing it.

It's smaller than the D-18 I'm used to, and there is some neck dive as the neck is heavy relative to the laminate body.

The volume is really good for such a small guitar, and it's perfectly intonated up and down the fretboard.

The tone naturally isn't as expansive as a dreadnought, but it is pleasant and expressive.

I'm very happy with this purchase, it is an excellent travel guitar. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the neck weight issue.

Granddaughter’s Guitar

I purchased this guitar for my granddaughter. She needed something slightly smaller in size, than a full-size guitar. She loves it! It's a great sounding, and great playing guitar! I can't thank Brent, and the crew at Sweetwater enough, for making me a hero in her eyes!
Music background: I have played music for 50 years.

Wonderful travel guitar

This is my second guitar from Sweetwater . I was looking for a small travel guitar that did not sound like a toy and one that could take a bit of abuse while traveling. I have played many travel guitars in my search and this is by far my favorite "affordable" travel guitar. (I do love the gs minis but the cost is much more and I wanted all HPL). The sound is very warm, sustain is great , it's pretty loud for a little guitar. My other guitar is a Martin OM 21 so I'm used to a very high end guitar sound and I still really love the sound of this one! Many other travel guitars I tried did not make me want to play them and this one made me want to pick it up and play it…. Even when I'm home ! I have taken it on two trips so far and I absolutely love it. I even sat in the back seat of my car while my husband drove and was able to happily practice on the drives. I am surprised that an all HPL guitar sounds so good. I'm so happy I bought this , I'm trying to keep up my practice routine even while traveling and it's been perfect. My ONLY complaint is that the koa print on it is pretty unattractive to me. Koa is so pretty , not sure why Martin didn't choose a more attractive print ? Oh well , I bought it for sound and travel , and maybe others think it's pretty .

Love it!

For the size, wow! Amazed in the sound and volume. I like the durability and not having to maintain humidity. Easy and playable for my 6 and 7 year old.
