Martin GPE Inception Maple £4,349
Maple has long been a bit of a puzzler for acoustic-guitar makers. It's attractive and fairly abundant compared with tropical hardwoods and is thus both more sustainable and less likely to be subject to restrictions such as the CITES controls imposed on rosewood a few years ago. And though instrument-grade maple has been growing harder for luthiers to get their hands on, both Taylor and now Martin have seen potential for it to be useful for more than just J-200s.
