Product Description
The Martin 16 series is an affordable entry-point into the world of USA-made Martin guitars. With its Rosewood body, Sitka spruce top, and built-in Martin E1 Pickup System electronics, the GPC-16E Rosewood is a workhorse guitar offering the quality of tone and craftsmanship you expect from an American-made Martin.
Grand Performance Body
The Grand Performance body shape is a true all-rounder. Unlike larger body shapes like dreadnoughts and jumbos, you get a more balanced sound across the frequencies, so it's great for a wide range of genres. There's also a cutaway letting you access the higher frets with ease. The slightly smaller body shape and versatile tone make the Grand Performance body suitable for both fingerstyle and strumming alike.
Construction
The versatile Grand Performance body is complemented by the tonewoods on this guitar. The Rosewood back and sides provide excellent low and high end response with a rich, complex character, while the Sitka spruce top has a balanced sound. The result is a versatile tone that can be used for a wide range of styles. This guitar has a modified low oval neck, a rounded shape that fills the hand nicely. The high-performance neck taper keeps the neck comfortable whether you're playing open chords reaching those upper frets.
