NEW ARRIVAL The 16 range was introduced to offer a more affordable way of buying an all solid USA made Martin. This example is a gloss top version, based on the Martin 000-18, considered to be of of the best fingerstyle guitars. The guitar is in excellent condition, the Spruce top has started to mature and turn a beautiful golden colour, the Mahogany back and sides are well figured, and the neck feels very comfortable to play with good playing action. There are no cracks or repairs, and only light playwear that you'd expect from a 18 year old guitar. Tonally it's fantastic, hugely versatile, capable of both bright and punchy tones, yet quite complex and able to handle the most subtle of playing styles - beautifully balanced with great definition. The guitar comes in it's original Martin embossed hard case.
