New Guitar Review: Martin Guitars GPC-16E | Affordably Priced and Made in the USA!

Рет қаралды 137,766

4 жыл бұрын

Martin guitar continues to roll out new compelling updates to its models that bring more value while also returning to vintage designs and aesthetics. The updates to the Martin 16 series continues these efforts with new tonewoods, features and aesthetic choices along with an extremely afforable price in an all-solid wood acoustic guitar that is still crafted in Martin's Nazareth, Pennsylvania factory. The GPC-16E combines these features and value with the Martin aesthetic in a modern Grand Performance cutaway model. The Grand Performance body is wider at the lower bout than a Martin OM or 000 but is has a tighter waist and lighter bracing than a dreadnought. This is the guitar that is meant to perform well across a number of different playing styles. The smaller top and lighter bracing ensures the guitar will respond well to a light touch that comes with finger style performances. The additional real estate on the lower bout means that a flat pick won't overwhelm the guitar and volume is available in spades. In short, this guitar handles what ever you throw at it. The availability of solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides is typically not something that is available at this price from an American manufacturer. The fast playing neck and Fishman electronics finishes off this compelling option that is sure to turn some heads.

All solid wood, sitka/rosewood, forward shifted/scalloped bracing, ebony finger board, 1 3/4 bone nut, gloss top, modified low oval high performance neck, cutaway WITH electronics etc... $1,699.. Are you kidding me! And it sounded SO good

I got this model 2 years ago but with mahogany back and sides. The store didn't have the rosewood one in stock. One did arrive a year later; I had the opportunity to play it and discovered how much more mild the rosewood sounded compared to the mahogany. I'm so glad I got the mahogany GPC- 16e. It has a full- rich bodied sound, beautifully balanced. I've got a D-35 on lay-away and it doesn't sound any better than the 16e. That's how great it sounds.

SC 13e is the weakest out of the 4 of them and cost more than the GPC 11e but I think the SC 13e should be the cheapest its the only one I wouldn't buy.

@gdstafford 3 жыл бұрын

had one, granadillo developed a 10" long crack within 7 weeks of brand new, wood is unstable and dries out quickly. I called Martin the first day I had it because of a rattling sound on open B. Their CSR told me that often happens when the wood is dried out causing the top to drop. 7 weeks later, overnight, a huge crack on the backside opened up. Shipped to Martin at my expense and they basically told me 'F U', they're perfect and this is not a warranty issue. I now own a $1600 wall art. DO NOT BUY a guitar made with granadillo... very unstable wood. Martin's warranty should be stated as 30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first.

I just got this guitar (rosewood version). It gets quite close to everything I was chasing, but I am now noticing that the midrange volume is too scooped and i find myself trying to unnaturally adjust my strumming to adjust for this and it just does not work right. I think I am going to have to trade it in and pay up for a Taylor option. The mahogany version would probably be really awesome for that particular tone chase, but I think I have ruled that out for me for now.

An 814 feels like butter to me. The lightest pressure will fret the string & the notes will ring. Wish more reviews described this aspect.

It is probably just the action on the 214ce may be. higher then the 814ce. They both use the same strings as Taylor uses elixir as factory. Just the action on both guitars and see if the truss rod may need an adjustment on the 214ce.

But what do you guys think, is it worth compared to a let's say nice Furch guitar at a price point at around a 1000 bucks or a bit more, does anyone have both or has tried this Martin? I really like Martins, I always said my goal is to have a Martin one day maybe. A D28, D18 or a 000-28/OM-28 or at least something "more affordable" like this one. But I always say maybe because the prices man, especially where I live in Europe it's insanee... You can buy a car for that money where I live hahaha.

I think it was worth the wait, but definitely play one before spending that amount of money. If you can play a bunch of guitars in the same price range.

@@konjunto2477 then they are definitely different guitars. The GPC 16 e runs about $1900 new.

Why do you speak of richlite like its bad to have. I see plenty of expensive Martins made in the U.S.A with a richlite fingerboard and never had an issue with them.

If you enjoy richlite fingerboards then don't let us change your opinion (: a lot of this is taste.

@PATRYAN84 4 жыл бұрын

Alamo Music Center Your right all about taste. I played a Martin ovangkol GPC with rich lite. I loved that guitar but guitar center sent it to me with a broken truss rod and they don’t have anymore replacements. I have a Taylor 214e DLX which is an Ebony finger board. Ebony is nice to play on.

Love Taylors! You might consider taking your Martin to a local Luthier or music store to see if they can repair it!

I bought one 2 weeks ago and realized body is so thin and unplugged volume is too small and bass 6th string makes almost no sound. I am not sure if this happens to me only?

Has a little less boom but not much less. Yes Martin strings can have the low E sound kinda dead try Elixirs

WTF he keeps repeating that it is an affordable guitar, the price on their site is $1699. I wouldn't call that affordable.

@Ricky21mt 4 жыл бұрын

Andre Aguilar right!? I hate that about today’s market, affordable to me is under $1,000 at max price. Even that is asking a lot to be considered affordable.

@johnmacaspac410 4 жыл бұрын

Because a decent American made guitars tends to be at least $2000 and up.

@josephsantana3094 4 жыл бұрын

He says it on every video with one of the "low end" USA made Martins or Taylors. I get the point of what hes saying but he should probably word it differently. It's either affordable or it's not affordable, regardless of the brand or where its made. And for most people these are not affordable.

@genesultry6447 4 жыл бұрын

Andre Aguilar Yup...but remember, “affordable” is a relative term in all consumer items.

@donharrold1375 4 жыл бұрын

It’s all relative. For a well made acoustic guitar that has a solid wood back, sides and top made in the USA it’s cheap. The GPC-13E is sort of similar, but is made in Mexico and can be had for $1299. The only downside on the 13E, is the fact that the fingerboard and bridge are made from richlite, which is a composite material. I say downside, as most guitarists, me included, find the concept of composite material in a guitar questionable. Having played one, the feel of the fingerboard is actually very good though and tonally it’s great.
