Martin DC-16GTE
The all-solid-wood cut-away dreadnought DC-16GTE has been one of Martin & Co.'s bestselling models for years. The guitar features a hybrid X scalloped braced, gloss finished Sitka spruce top, Sapele back and sides, one piece neck, and Fishman Prefix Premium Blend onboard electronics. Both at home or at the gig this guitar delivers the Martin experience, and it does so without breaking the bank.
Modified low oval neck with Richlite fingerboard, 1-11/16' nut width and string spread of 2-1/8' at the bridge. Satin finished back and sides, black bindings, tortoise-pattern pickguard, herringbone rosette.
The Prefix Premium Blend features Fishman acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under saddle pickup, onboard chromatic tuner, and a gooseneck-style internal microphone. To complement and contrast this pickup, their miniature gooseneck microphone captures the guitar’s elusive natural ambience and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and the microphone together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more “filled out” than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone. To complete the package, Fishman includes a phase switch and an adjustable notch filter, both essential for fighting feedback.
Original hard-shell case included.

Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
