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 Fishman Matrix VT 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.

Fishman Matrix VT Enhance Electronics

This guitar is ready to perform thanks to the built-in Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics. The Enhance undersaddle pickup is designed to bring out the dynamics and percussiveness in your playing. You can blend this in or out with the discreet, soundhole mounted preamp that also features volume and tone controls for shaping your sound. Whether you're performing live into an amp/PA, or you're recording into an audio interface, the GPC-16E is ready to go right out of the box!

I had always heard about Martin guitars and what they say about them. But having a number of good quality guitars, I had my favourites and thought nothing could really be much better, if at all. This was until I bumped into a friend who said she had bought one and let me try it out. That moment was the moment that everything changed.. I did a little bit of research and got myself over to Andertons where they so carefully, handled and showed me the GPC -16 E. I was totally mind struck by the full colour of tone and depth and superb craft quality. Really, there was nothing to say, it played itself and spoke for itself and I bought it. The best musical purchase I have ever made. And I've only had it a short time but each time I pick her up, she just sings and sings and sings! It's such a fulfilling and rewarding thing, not just to hear and play, but to handle too. Nothing you can say, it's just there, the pure essence of the ages. The best thing I ever owned!

What else can be said about this guitar that hasn't already been said by far better players than I!
