Why We Love This
  • Perfect Travel Companion for Road Trips I play across cities during festivals and the LX1E packs light without sacrificing tone. Its compact size and gig bag fit perfectly on train racks and car boots, while the onboard pickup helps me plug in for quick performances, even in budget venues.

  • Warm Tone Ideal for Classical & Folk Covers Living in Delhi, I often practice ghazals and folk pieces. Despite its small body, the LX1E produces rich, balanced sound—balanced warmth and clarity blend beautifully with nylon strings.

  • Hassle-Free Setup for Street Performances I busk near Mumbai’s Gateway of India, and the LX1E stands up to the environment—damp sea air and all. It tunes easily and the battery-powered pickup gives me full acoustic sound in noisy street settings.

  • Compact Build, Full Martin Sound Playing in cramped Chennai apartments, the compact LX1E doesn’t overwhelm space. Its comfortable neck, responsive fretboard, and the punchy tone—even unplugged—mirrors full-size Martin heritage without bulk.

Small Body, Big Vibes: Why the Martin LX1E Is the Guitar You’ll Actually Play Every Day

The Martin LX1E Little Martin is just a super fun, compact guitar that’s way more than a travel toy. It has a solid spruce top, so the sound actually rings out nicely, and even though it’s small, it feels like a real instrument, not a toy. Plug it in and it still sounds great, thanks to the Fishman pickup. It’s light, tough, easy to carry around, and perfect for couch playing, jamming outside, or tossing in the car. Honestly, a lot of people end up playing this more than their bigger, fancier guitars just because it’s always there and ready to go.

H U G E Martin Sound, and HIGHLY HELPFUL staff at BAJAAO

I have two Martins and a Taylor T-5 (also bought on BAJAAO). I ordered the LX1E for a gift for the holidays. I love BIG CLEAR sweet Martin FOLK SOUND. Received this MARTIN LX1E guitar in a timely fashion from BAJAAO. In great condition. Depending on your amp or amp settings this guitar sounds fantastic and delivers as a full-sounding Martin Guitar. It also has the ease of play-ability typical of a well-setup Martin, it CERTAINLY is a Martin. I was playing with the Fender G-Dec AMP (also bought on BAJAAO) on one of the ACOUSTIC AMP settings. The staff doesn't keep us waiting for anything. I highly recommend everyone to buy, not only this guitar, but all the products you need on BAJAAO!!!

Best travel guitar

Rich bass sound. I'd say the sound is really deep for a 3/4 guitar and not too bright like you'd expect in a travel guitar. Even more amazing is that it has such a deep sound using all laminate wood. They call it HPL or High Pressure Laminate (Just a fancy word). If you're on this page, you are looking for travel guitars or are a fan of Ed Sheeran.Anyway, I personally love its tone. Other guitars you might want to consider are 'Baby Taylor' and 'Luna Safari'.Cheers!
