Experience the unparalleled sound and craftsmanship of the Martin GPC-16E Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar, available exclusively at Irvine Art and Music. This exceptional instrument combines the warm, full tone of rosewood with the robust projection of a spruce top, making it an ideal choice for performing guitarists.

Warm and Balanced Tone

The GPC-16E features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, creating a powerful and balanced sound with excellent note definition. The scalloped, forward-shifted spruce X-bracing enhances the guitar's projection and resonance, making it perfect for solo performances, vocal accompaniment, or layering in a studio track.

Comfortable Playability

Designed with the performing guitarist in mind, the GPC-16E boasts a Grand Performance body style with a 25.4-inch scale length, ideal for fingerpicking and flatpicking. The modified low oval neck with a high-performance taper provides a comfortable and smooth playing experience, while the Plek Pro machine-leveled frets ensure optimized playability.

High-Quality Electronics

The onboard Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 pickup system flawlessly amplifies the GPC-16E’s gorgeous tone on stage. This advanced system includes Fishman's popular Matrix under-saddle pickup and an Enhance element that can be blended separately via soundhole-mounted controls, allowing the natural sounds of the guitar to shine through, even with techniques like body tapping.

Elegant Design and Durable Construction

This guitar's Grand Performance cutaway model features a spruce gloss top for balanced tone and projection, with East Indian rosewood back and sides. The GPC-16E is adorned with antique white binding, a faux tortoise pickguard, and a bold herringbone rosette, giving it a classic and elegant look. The ebony fingerboard and bridge, along with a bone nut and compensated white Tusq saddle, enhance its tonal quality and durability.
