Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good (ding in top, pictured)
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!
From Martin and Co.
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.
