Martin JC-16RGTE Aura – First impressions
JC-16GTE
Martin JC-16GTE
I have played this for a couple of weeks now so wanted to put down some first impressions.
Specs:
- Solid Sitka Spruce top
- East Indian rosewood back and sides
- 20 frets
- Polished gloss finish
- Fishman Aura electrics
Price: £1699 (with hard case)
In use this is a dream to play, the neck reminds me of a 50's Les Paul, the tone is well rounded and the onboard Fishman is excellent (even has a tuner).
Its a jumbo size but the cutaway is deceiving and makes it feel smaller, its a great strummer but works well with fingerpicking.
G | H rating so far 5/5
