The Martin 000C12-16E Nylon 16 Series acoustic-electric classical guitar provides serious musicians a quality instrument for shaping warm, resonant tones. With its Auditorium body and solid Sitka spruce top paired with satin mahogany back and sides, the 000C12-16E Nylon delivers a balanced tone that projects well. Designed with nylon strings and a slim, low-profile neck, this guitar offers comfortable playability for intricate classical technique. Classic Tonewoods Shape a Resonant Voice The all-solid wood construction of the 000C12-16E, including mahogany back and sides and Sitka spruce top, creates a resonant and projecting tone. The lighter mahogany prevents boominess while emphasizing midrange clarity. The spruce top adds crispness and airiness to the highs. Together, these tonewoods give you a dynamic range to express emotion and nuance. The guitar's balanced X-bracing further enhances resonance and sustain. Play with Ease Thanks to Ergonomic Design The 000C12-16E's slim mahogany neck and low-profile ebony fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers. The neck's satin finish prevents sticking, while the ebony fingerboard's smoothness enables effortless slides and position changes. A 12-fret design also brings frets closer together, reducing the stretch of your fingers. The cutaway gives you full access to higher frets for melodies and solos. Overall, this guitar's ergonomics remove technical barriers so you can focus on your artistry.
