Martin GPC-16E Acoustic Electric Natural Satin (s/n:3101375)! Guitar comes with Martin GigBag!
The Martin GPC-16E Rosewood is a great choice for players who want the full, rich sound of a rosewood Martin without the bulk of a traditional dreadnought. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this guitar combines a solid spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, giving it a warm bass response, clear highs, and plenty of detail whether you're strumming chords or playing fingerstyle.
One of the nicest things about the GPC-16E is its body design. Martin uses its Grand Performance shape with a shallower 000 body depth, making the guitar comfortable to hold while still delivering a surprisingly full sound. The cutaway is a welcome addition for players who spend time higher up the neck, and the Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper feels natural and easy to navigate.
At Northeast Music Center , we appreciate guitars like the GPC-16E because they offer a lot of what players love about Martin in a comfortable, versatile instrument. Whether you're playing at home, recording, or performing, this is a guitar that can handle all three.

There are plenty of places to purchase a Martin guitar, but there's a difference between buying from a warehouse and buying from people who know these instruments.
Northeast Music Center Inc. has built a close working relationship with C.F. Martin & Co. over the years. Being located near the Martin factory gives us the opportunity to work closely with the company, personally select instruments and woods when opportunities arise, and offer our customers the benefit of that experience.
We're also an Authorized Martin Repair Center, with experienced luthiers on staff who understand how these guitars are built and how they should play. We take the time to inspect our instruments and make sure they're ready for their new owners.
When you purchase from Northeast Music Center , you're dealing with a music store that stands behind what it sells. If you have questions before purchasing or need assistance afterward, you'll speak with people who genuinely know Martin guitars.
