A classic design with just the right modern design updates to make this an everyday gigger's dream! A bright, full acoustic response is complemented by great upper fret access, a fast neck, and a gig-ready electronics system. Our luthier performed a neck reset on this instrument (pretty common at the 10 year mark) setting this guitar up for years of healthy, happy playing. All at a killer price!
The DC-16GTE acoustic-electric guitar features a D-14 platform and a Dreadnought cutaway body design equipped with balanced tonewoods that produce a rich acoustic tone for recording or live performance. The sapele back and sides complement the solid Sitka spruce top finished in a polished gloss. Plug in at your next performance, and you'll appreciate the electronics that reproduce your every playing nuance. When it's time to step up your sound, choose the DC-16GTE. One strum and you'll be swept away.
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
