The Martin 000C12-16E Nylon offers players a quality nylon string option from Martin’s iconic lineup of acoustic instruments. Handcrafted in our Nazareth factory as part of the 16 Series, this guitar boasts a satin spruce top paired with satin mahogany back and sides, a lighter tonewood that sets the stage for a bright treble response and punchy midrange.

Designed with the classical guitarist in mind, its Auditorium (000) 12-fret body size delivers a balanced tone across all six strings, enhanced by the inclusion of a cutaway for effortless access to higher frets. The satin low-profile neck and ebony bridge and fingerboard further enhance the instrument's tonal richness and playability.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the 000C12-16E Nylon gives you control over your sound, whether you’re playing at home, on stage, or in the studio. The onboard controls for volume, tone, and phase let you sculpt your sound with precision, while the built-in chromatic tuner ensures accurate tuning without the need for plugging in.

Complete with a softshell case for added protection, the Martin 000C12-16E Nylon is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you.
