Just in case anyone got confused as to who their intended market was, Martin decided to give their new line of acoustic electrics a self-explanatory name: Martin Performing Artist Series. We check out a Martin Grand Performance Cutaway Performing Artist Acoustic Electric Guitar at Winter NAMM 2010, where the series was introduced.

In this video, Owen played a Martin GPCPA through a Fishman Acoustic Amplifier, switching between a few of the Fishman Aura Imaging preamp profiles built-in to the guitar. We're pretty impressed by the plugged-in tone that the Performing Artist Series delivers.
