A warm greeting to all Softies. I have for sale a Martin 000C-16RGTE, complete with official Martin hardshell case.
This is an excellent example of the quality Martin can provide with its 16 series. This is a cutaway guitar, with all-solid construction (very tightly-spaced grain spruce and rosewood) and Fishman electronics. Tonally, the wood has really opened up over the years (I recall this is from 2001 but will update once I confirm this), and you get the renowned Martin sound in spades. If it helps, I would put this closer to a D28 sound-wise rather than an 18 or 35.
Generally, this is in great shape although it's meant to be played and not a showroom guitar. There are some imperfections but none that really detract from the look, sound or playability of the guitar. Electronics work excellently. The Fishman preamp offers stereo or mono signal paths and a low-noise circuit for the system's undersaddle pickup and internal microphone.
I'm selling this as I have three other electro-acoustics in my rotation, and I need to make space. This has never been gigged with however - I play an OMCPA4 if I need a Martin live - so this is a stay-at-home guitar, in a climate-controlled room.
Since this is no longer cosmetically perfect, and as I need to make room, I'm happy to let this Martin go at a very reasonable price of $1,200 (inclusive of guitar + hardcase). A quick check online should verify how low this price is.
Will also add a pack of new strings for good measure. I want whoever gets this to be very happy, as I've been.
I'm out of Singapore from tomorrow (13 March) until next Wednesday (19 March). So if anyone wants to view this tonight after 9pm, that's fine. Otherwise, feel free to ponder over it and make an appointment for anytime after evening of 19 March. I can be reached at 966(nine)2(zero)5(seven).
Pls see pictures and specs below.
Cheers!
