The Martin GPC-16E acoustic-electric guitar provides an inspiring playing experience. Handcrafted by master luthiers with premium tonewoods, this Grand Performance model combines projection and balanced tone with comfort. At its heart is a resonant solid spruce top and your choice of rosewood or mahogany back and sides. The rosewood option offers deep bass and rich overtones, while the mahogany produces a bright sound with clear mids. Together with the guitar's high-performance neck and ebony fingerboard, the tonewoods provide unparalleled playability and sound.

Premium Tonewoods Shape Your Sound

The solid spruce top on the GPC-16E resonates freely, producing articulate highs and open mids. When paired with rosewood back and sides, the spruce top helps generate a balanced and nuanced tone. Rosewood backs the spruce with warmth and low-end depth. Together, these tonewoods produce the balanced, nuanced sound Martin is famous for. The cutaway body gives you full access to higher frets for expressive solos and melody lines.

High-Performance Neck and Cutaway For Easy Playing

The GPC-16E's neck is designed for effortless fretting across the 25.4" scale length. Its tapered profile and ebony fingerboard create a smooth playing surface. Dot inlays help guide your fingers to each note. A cutaway gives you full access to higher frets, letting you explore the guitar's tonal range. The ergonomic shape, premium materials and cutaway combine for a guitar that feels like an extension of your hands.
