Martin & Co 000C-16GTE Premium

This is Martin factory in the United States. It has a back, and wicker covers a mahogany neck. The table is pica, the key and the bridge in micarta. It has black netting around the box, and a décor of rosette shall adopt herring (Herringbone). Note the prsence a pan shot of a junction box 14ME handle the case. The neck has 20 boxes. The finish is simple and classy trs, so to speak irrprochable. The Martin mcaniques are small chrome buttons. The shield is colored quail. The natural finish is translucent with a matte varnish Submitted to the advantage of not making fingerprints. Ct electronic, there is a prampli Fhisman Premium Blend. It has a rglage volume, a three-band equalizer, a filter for bass and one for the treble (to rduire the feedback). There is also a tuner and a button to mix the two microphones (one under the bridge and an Arian in the rosette). Note that the two microphones can be utiliss in Stereo, thanks a switch of the indoor prampli. The instrument comes with a tui in good order.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, it glides on its own. The weight and shape MODR 000 facilitates the handling and comfort. This is not a cumbersome dreadnought. It is balance and you can play longer without tiring. Use of prampli is simple, but the tuner is more of a gadget that's vritable tool. Dpanne Ca ... A good point: we do not disassemble the ropes to access the battery.

SOUNDS

The acoustic sounds are superb. (J'cris the plural, because the sound changes depending on the game, which remains the preserve of good guitars). The danger with this kind of instrument, we want to play for s'arrter s'couter. The sustain is good, serious balance-high-mdium almost perfect and a lot of heat, which suits the blues. The sound makes a game full of subtlety. One approaches a little sound of Clapton unplugged. Same people who know nothing about music, which would not be the difference between a pot and a Stradivarius, spontanment tell me that the sound is superb. In lctrique, I use a Laney keyboard amp or an AER Compact 60. With the only bridge pickup, the sound is full of mdium. It is similar, relatively guard a standing ovation. It is not enough I got hot and does not pick up the sounds of the body. However, it is insensitive to feedback trs. The micro Arian dlivre trs sound hot on his part. It allows in addition to percussion on the body. But beware, it captures the sound of the same garment that silly against the back of the instrument and share in Larsen faster than a Les Paul on a Mesa Boogie. The secret is to mix the two. This gives the compromise IDAL, a warm but not very sensitive to feedback (the filter is more efficient), leaving the possbile to make percussion. In short, one trs Fidler the acoustic sound of the guitar. A rgal, especially since the equalizer is effective ...

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this guitar for a year. I tried before the Takamine, a DCX1E Martin, a 0MX, nothing sounded like a. I wanted a rosewood MODEL, but n'tait not available in France this era. This is the galre to order, but then what happiness ... The prize (2000 Euros) is consquent, but it's a real rgal.
