Martin D-16GT guitar from 2013 in perfect condition. Comes with original case.
The MARTIN 16 Series D-16GT folk guitar is an intermediate quality model between the economical D-1 and the standard D-28. It is a superb acoustic with meticulous finishes, which will give you full and complete satisfaction considering what it will have cost you.
Body, Solid Sitka Spruce & Mahogany
The Sitka Spruce - Mahogany combination of the D-16GT is an unstoppable combination used by all acoustic guitar makers.
Authentic Mahogany is a noble wood that is essential in the construction of luxury acoustic guitars. The D-16GT therefore has its back and sides made of solid Mahogany; with a relatively high sound speed, and therefore rich in overtones (over-frequencies added to the fundamental frequency and giving a distinct character to the instrument).
Mahogany is a wood that tends to exacerbate the middle of the spectrum (low-mids) with fairly present highs and less dense bass than those audible on Rosewood (the other reference variety in acoustic guitars).
The soundboard is made of solid Sitka Spruce (a conifer family native to North America-Alaska), this species having an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Its natural hardness makes it particularly suitable for guitars with steel strings.
The Sitka variety has a lively and robust character, balanced, with particularly clear mids. It is extremely vibrant, also ensuring a very dynamic and punchy sound transmission.
The handle, Mahogany & Black Richlite
Committed to environmental protection, the Martin firm has been trying for several years to find substitutes for certain species that are becoming rare and therefore expensive. On the D-16GT, Martin has made a compromise on the fingerboard made of Black Richlite, a composite material with properties similar to Ebony. Of course, purists will balk, but we challenge you to feel an obvious difference on a blind test.
