Rich Mahogany and Smooth Control

And if that weren’t enough, the ebony fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness for ultimate comfort. The frets have been dressed with the help of a Plek Pro machine for perfectly optimized playability. With this attention to detail, you can be sure that every fret on your new Martin GPC16E is ready to be put through its paces without fail.
Powerful Electronics Provide Customization
It's built with Fishman's Matrix VT Enhance NT2 pickup system which includes Matrix under-saddle pickups and an advanced Enhance element that can be blended into the signal separately via the soundhole mounted controls. This feature allows you to capture the natural sounds of your playing without any interference or distortion. Plus, its Mahogany top, back and sides make for a bright, strong tone that will bring out all of the richness of your playing. Combine this with a forward shifted X bracing design and bone nut and saddle and you’ve got a versatile instrument that can deliver great acoustic tones both amplified or unplugged.
