Thread Name: Martin Classical guitar
Subject: RE: Martin Classical guitar
I bought a Martin 000C-16 SRNE about 2 years ago (in Atlanta). They are no longer in production unless you order one from Martin's custom shop. I love it, largely because it's not a 'real' classical. It's got a slightly narrower fingerboard with a slight radius, making it play more like a steal string, but produces a full classical sound. I play it through a Roland AC 90 most of the time, with a direct line out through the house system at my church, but it sounds great totally acoustic as well. I've found it to be well made and the modest, reserved appointments add to the attractiveness, in my opinion.
