Martin & Co 000-16RGT

Made in USA
Solid sitka table background and splint in Mahogany e mahogany. Micarta fingerboard: it is a composite material that apparently the same characteristics as ebony (I for 6 years and do not touch me gene of all, I have a Martin DMEQ and I can not find. of the key differences. (aside I nelui not pass the lemon cleaning product)
Junction 14 freight
I installed an electro-acoustic system Fishman Matrix Infinity. with adjustable tone and volume. Good product this giutare. but I also use the same time a Shure SM 57 (great sound in the real electro)

UTILIZATION

Very nice handle, as the Martin Format 000, small and slim, very good ergonomics, no access aus acute (that is not a CW) but I do not seek a CW, so I already know that the access aus acute will be difficult. but folk is not made either for this use.

SOUNDS

Very good for the finger but also strumming, but it does not forgive you mistake, a very good projection, not a dreadhnought, btw the sound is different, but huge compared to its size. I have a lot of guitar in the same format (Takamine Taylor) but none of this quality, I love everything about this guitar (I have a Guild M20 that I use the most, but it is completely different and it fails at the ankle of the Martin (Martin: they know how the guitar and they formed the ear pubblique has this sound), but as we know the sound is very personal, depending on the his idea that we have in ourselves.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years and I had a lot of guitar das this range (medium-high) and none approach the small martin, we always talk format with 000 table sitka e bottom and splint mahogany (it parair the new model are sapele) This is an expensive guitar but the quality time we find (I have an Epiphone 1980 model J45 which is a pan over the ages and martin better.
With the esperience of these years spent with her, I probably would do the same choice!

Guitar factory in the United States:
Table pica massif. Rosewood back and wicker covers. Bold herringbone rosette. Spanish cedar sleeve. Fingerboard and bridge with black micarta. Color plate of quail turtle. Mcaniques chrome.
One senses immediately that it's quality.

UTILIZATION

The neck is perfect and easy to accde Agues.
It is a small and lightweight plutt guitar.
The sound is at once clean and do not frieze.

SOUNDS

Small and lightweight agree, but with a BIG sound.
Perfectly suited for playing blues picking with cords slamming good.
APRS is an acoustic guitar trs good quality, a sound so bad that if you play poorly ... and again.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar since June 2005.
I tried many before and since MODELS purchase, and there's no saying Martin is unbeatable sound, and the MODEL is perfect in its class (that 000 words - portable and all).
It is quite expensive in France, much less the United States ... anyway the report quality price is more than good.
Beautiful instrument.

Martin United States format 000 (petty cash)
Sound hard-
Table pica solid rosewood body

UTILIZATION

The format of the case that this guitar is a vritable rgal play.
The handle is comfortable and fast particulirement whether chords or bars.

SOUNDS

I found the sound a bit cold to beginners ... Almost too "right". Then I changed the strings to make the Elixir. The guitar came out refreshed. The format of the case might suggest that this guitar lacks power. Not at all ... A real rgal ear. Ideal for playing the blues clapton. As against this it is clear that scratching is not made for large rhythmic endiables.Il I sometimes climb above a rosette of micro (Fishman) to amplify the sound pure but often s'avre more than enough for oxen with pals.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost two years since I use it. Buy 1500 new, it's an investment I would do some but not hsiter.

My MODEL is the 000-16GT, diffrent the GTA in the sense that the back and wicker covers are made of mahogany, not rosewood.
Note that the micarta used for keys and the bridge is a composite matrial apparently the same as bne CHARACTERISTICS.
The woods smell utilissdgagent envotante ... J'enlve point because mcaniques used, even if they seem reliable, are really low end. You really feel that Martin over economy. For the rest exudes quality.

UTILIZATION

The body 000 is very small format (I will return in his party), there are easily a good position to play in any circumstance. The guitar is the musician trslgre and retransmits the slightest vibration, which gives really enjoyable playing sensations trs. The handle is easy to play but is not as tame as a handle IMMEDIATE Ibanez or Taylor. The advantage is that after a CANCEIS on the 16GT, take a piece of my Ibanez seems to me at all easy, which proves my view that the work well done 16GT her man. J'enlve when even one point for a, the beginners may be surprised.

SOUNDS

Before choosing this guitar, I spent two hours trying to Taylor, in particular the projection 214 has a quite impressive for its price. For curiosities I finally tried this Martin, and I see this happen all petty cash without much conviction.
I em a plate and I was mouth-b for 30 seconds. The sound is powerful, one feels almost ject of the rosette. Harmonics rotate in the body and allow loooongtemps a sound link between diffrent note that makes the game trs fluid. The sound is round trs (much lower) but Aiges out well but as soft trs. In picking out the sound as very easy, and remains with his cohrent jou in mdiator, which is far from being the case for many guitars.
The sustain is impressive in absolute trs, even next to the size of the fund.
By returning the guitar against the tones gnreusement the slightest false note will sound without warning, again svrement The beginning will be sanctions, but at the same time it is also a means to good learning.

I put the maximum score, the higher-end guitars are well-sr sound much better, but this small 000-16GT really surprised me and got me the favorite, it therefore MRIT .

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for only three days, my back is quite limited but does a real favorite. Compar prcdante my guitar I won, available prsence DEFINITIONS bass and sound. I think I'll be able to draw great thing that Martin, but it is true that it requires a little effort to adapt to make yourself to handle and avoid the slightest finger placement of cart that will pay imm immediately at the exit of rosette. But this guitar is a real little bomb, small but strong. This is the "p'tit Pimousse" acoustic guitar
