Here's what Martin say about the LX1RE:

Versatile with durability for life on the road

Dynamic, rich, distinctive. And, it's a sound that just keeps giving. Thanks to a solid, hand-picked sitka spruce top and a HPL body, this is an instrument that will stay with you for a lifetime. A solid top brings you a sound that just keeps getting richer with age. While HPL (high pressure laminate) back and sides bring the durability, and strength for life on the road.

Truly perfect for any passionate performer. This LX1R hones an authentic, timeless tone with a crisp, dynamic edge. Sitka spruce is an unmatched tonewood for versatility and articulation. You can play almost anything. It responds to you, and your individuality perfectly.
