C.F. Martin Guitars

Love the solid wood guitars made by these people. I have a Martin DC16GTE serial number 720000 made in 1998. It's 20 years old and still sounds great! I'm not sure how the laminate guitars made today will hold up but the old ones are awesome. I live in a desert area and have humidified the guitar by using the Kyser brand humidifier. The guitar has no issues with separation of the body or twisted neck. I haven't played this one too much either cause it is so nice. I usually play on less expensive guitars and only use this one on occasions worthy for it's use. I think the Martin Flexible Core SP light 12 strings were made for this guitar. Part number MFX740 and Sweetwater carries them for $5.29 with free shipping. Thank you Martin Guitars for building a long lasting product that stands the test of time.

Ive just bought a gpcx2ae and i think it is absolutely amazing what a guitar carry on martin ive bought a lot of branded guitars and found them hard work but this one is excellent wish i could of took the price barrier earlier maybe you would all know my name?

I make this determination with a heavy heart, my passion for Martin Guitars has faded into the mist. After a long relationship with my old D-1, (which I played for over a decade) came to an unfortunate end. This left me with a search for a new acoustic and I instinctively started doing research regarding what new guitars Martin had to offer for 2019, not even considering another brand.

I settled on a D-10E from Zoo Music (for approximately the same price and my old D-1), and gave the guitar every opportunity to live up to the Martin standard of unmatched sound and tone. After trying several different sets of Martin strings, I had no choice but to give up on it. The D-10E had failed to live up to the Martin standard of quality I expected, and I ended up playing my Gibson J-35, (my recording guitar) with the D-10E ignored in its case.

After playing acoustic guitars for 45 years a have come to expect an even tone of sustain at every area of the neck and the D-10E was a real disappointment. I plan on selling the D-10E and begin the search for another acoustic, but I am afraid Martin will not be one of them.
