Martin JC-16RGTE Acoustic Electric Guitar - Used
This is a fantastic example of the Martin JC-16RGTE, a versatile and powerful Jumbo Cutaway acoustic-electric from Martin’s 16 Series. This model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination that delivers a rich, complex tonal profile. The Jumbo body shape provides a deep, resonant low end while the "000" body depth keeps the guitar comfortable to hold and play, even during long sessions.
This specific guitar has a much bigger, more open sound than typically found on this model, offering a massive tone that stands out from the crowd. It is a one-owner instrument that has been well-loved and played, showing some cosmetic dings and playwear consistent with its history, but it remains in excellent structural and playing condition. The action is dialed in perfectly, and the frets show almost no wear at all, ensuring smooth playability across the entire fingerboard. It could be set to playh lower if you'd like, as there is plenty of saddle left.
Equipped with a high-quality onboard Fishman pickup system, this Martin sounds just as impressive plugged in as it does unplugged. The controls allow for easy tonal shaping, making it a reliable workhorse for the stage or the studio. Whether you are a heavy strummer or a fingerstyle player, this JC-16RGTE offers the premium Martin feel and sound at an accessible price point.
