The Martin GPC-16E acoustic-electric offers players a sleek and comfortable Grand Performance-style guitar. Handcrafted in our Nazareth factory as part of the 16 Series, its body shape combines the projection, balanced tone, and added bass of a Grand Performance model with the depth and comfort of an Auditorium (000) guitar.

At its core lies a satin spruce top, paired with your choice of East Indian rosewood or mahogany satin back and sides. East Indian rosewood is renowned for being a resonant and well-balanced tonewood with deep bass and rich overtones, while mahogany is lighter in weight and offers a bright treble response and punchy midrange. The GPC-16E's high-performance neck taper and ebony bridge and fingerboard, adorned with mother of pearl dot inlays, add to the guitar's unparalleled playability and tone, while a cutaway gives you even more room to hit those high notes with ease.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the GPC-16E 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 GPC-16E is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you.
