The X bracing patterns and quality tonewoods employed contribute to the complexity and richness of tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver time the company has found ways to offer the Martin sound and feel for a lesser price and accommodate the entry-level and immediate player. Each series has a typical player and function in mind. This is accomplished by stripping down the features and cosmetics featured on Standard series models leaving the essential Martin build, giving you the classic and characteristic tone revered around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverview:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTravel guitars arrived during the nineties and have never left. The idea of a compact scaled-down instrument with a ¾ scale length really embedded itself as a must-have item for guitar players. As well as being ideal for taking on holiday, many people like to have them as ‘sofa’ guitars, something lightweight and playable to strum in your downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe scale length is ¾ of a standard scale length with 14 frets clear of the body. Gauge .12 and even gauge .13 gauge strings can be used (it’s worth checking with our acoustic department before changing gauge on any guitar). The nut width is 1 \u0026amp; 11\/16 inches, standard width on many guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe LXK2 utilises high-pressure laminate (HPL) woods for the back, sides and top with a koa finish. HPL provides a stable material with which to construct a guitar body and offer the instrument at an attractive price. HPL makes a great deal of sense for travellers as it is resistant to the ravages of humidity which is such a bugbear for quality solid tops. Ideal for camping trips, festivals, gap years and safari. The satin finish has a smooth matt texture and is practical and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
