Martin GPC-16E Rosewood Acoustic Electric Guitar with Case

The Martin GPC-16E Rosewood was created for the performing guitarist who wants the full-bodied sound of satin-finished East Indian rosewood paired with spruce tonewoods. The GPC-16E is a great example of Martin's meticulous standard of construction, and as is common in Martin's guitars, features scalloped, forward-shifted spruce X bracing produces a powerful, well-balanced sound with above-average note definition. The Grand Auditorium body style is the secret sauce behind the GPC-16E's forward, balanced tone, offering excellent projection without overwhelming bass or harsh detail. With a slightly thinner body depth of 4-1/8 inches, this guitar retains Martin's identifiable power, while dialing back the boominess of low end. If plugging in is part of your plan, this guitar is equipped with a Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 pickup system that accurately translates the classic Martin sound while amplified, thanks to the collaboration between Martin and Fishman, spanning over three decades.
