Martin Guitar GPC-16E-01

Whilst looking for a new acoustic guitar I considered both the Taylor and Gibson equivalents. Taylor guitars sounded great but a little too bright while the Gibson were a bit too warm. The Martin GPC 16e rosewood sits just in the middle without being too excitable in the highs and aggressive in the lows. The mids will take you anywhere you want to go. The acoustic output is confident without boasting and easily fills a room. A very comfortable neck allows the fingers to go anywhere quickly and easily, with the whole guitar nestling quietly in a natural playing position. The electronics are intuitive and do exactly what you want them to. Out of the box a little tuning is needed which is expected having travelled great distances but nothing the inbuilt tuner cannot take care of in a few seconds. Excellent customer service, very quick delivery (well packaged) and the best price from Thomann leaves me with a very satisfied purchase. A highly recommended guitar from a highly recommended retailer.
