Martin's 000C12-16E is the gateway guitar for steel-string players looking to explore the nylon-string world.

Why We Love This

A lot of acoustic players shy away from classical guitars because of their wide necks, but the 000C12 is just a tad wider than a standard steel-string, measuring at 1 7/8".

The Sitka spruce top and the mahogany back & sides give this guitar the perfect balance of clear projection and warm, woody midrange tone.

The cutaway allows access all the way up to the 16th fret, and pre-installed Fishman Matrix VT electronics make it stage-ready.
