The Martin GPC-16E is a versatile Grand Performance cutaway guitar offering exceptional tonal clarity, projection and comfort for live and studio use. A solid Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides delivers a well-balanced voice with rich lows, articulate mids and bright highs, ideal for a wide range of playing styles, and the Venetian cutaway gives effortless access to the upper frets.

Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics capture the full depth and nuance of the acoustic tone when amplified, while a Modified Low Oval neck with a high-performance taper makes for smooth, comfortable playability across the fingerboard. From singer-songwriters to fingerstyle players, this guitar suits a wide range of musical settings.
