Martin GPC-16E ROSEWOOD

The Martin GPC‑16E brings together premium tonewoods, modern comfort, and stage‑ready performance in a Grand Performance cutaway body that appeals to players all across Upstate South Carolina. With its solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this model delivers a rich, full‑range voice—deep lows, clear mids, and shimmering highs that respond beautifully to both fingerstyle and dynamic strumming. The Grand Performance shape offers the perfect middle ground between a dreadnought’s power and an OM’s balance, making the GPC‑16E a versatile choice for worship leaders, singer‑songwriters, and gigging musicians in Greenwood, Greenville, and Anderson.

Playability and performance are front‑and‑center thanks to the Modified Low Oval neck with High‑Performance Taper, offering a fast, comfortable feel that suits long sessions and intricate playing styles. The Fishman® Matrix VT Enhance electronics provide exceptional amplified tone with added body resonance and nuance, making the GPC‑16E a standout for live performance and studio recording. Whether you’re playing local venues, leading worship, or tracking acoustic parts at home, this guitar delivers the clarity, warmth, and reliability that Upstate SC players expect from a high‑end Martin acoustic‑electric.
