The newest addition to Martin's line of Little Martin travel guitars is the LX1 which features a solid spruce top with mahogany-grained high pressure laminate (HPL) back, sides and headplate. The fingerboard and bridge are crafted from black Micarta, and the neck is carved from rust-colored Stratabond.

The LX1E offers the same features as the LX1 with the inclusion of Fishman Mini Q Electronics to provide excellent sound reinforcement capability.
