Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed LX1REL places Martin’s smallest acoustic-electric format in a dedicated left-handed layout. A solid spruce top pairs with rosewood-pattern HPL back and sides, while the Fishman Sonitone preamp puts rotary volume and tone controls beneath the soundhole. With its 23-inch scale, it is positioned for compact acoustic playing with the option to plug in. A gig bag comes with the guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players seeking a compact acoustic-electric guitar for plugged-in or unamplified playing.
- Travel or home practice where the included gig bag is useful for carrying the instrument.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players; this is a left-handed model.
- Players who need a cutaway body or more than 20 frets.
