Description
Martin's GPC-16E Rosewood is a welcome addition to their 16 Series of guitars, with an enticing tonewood selection and body shape. With the depth of a 000-size Martin and the shape of a Grand Performance, you get the resonant, lively tone of a large-size body without sacrificing comfort. The guitar's body is made of a Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back/sides. The Rosewood back and sides contribute to a focused midrange and a rock-solid tonal foundation for the sparkling highs of the Sitka spruce top to flourish. Plus, Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 electronics make the GPC-16E both gig and studio-ready. With its excellent tonal versatility, warm, lively tone, and second-to-none Martin construction, the GPC-16E Rosewood is a fantastic acoustic.
