Topic: Martin 000C-16GTE Auditorium

Hello people
Sorry i posted before a completely different Guitar ,this is the one i have been looking at for sure can people tell me about the fisherman electric on this ,is there problem with feed back
,how do you compensate for it
.Also was this  built between 1999-2003
They are wanting $12800 is that a reasonable price ,it is in perfect condition with original case and to my ears it sounds fantastic.
Also i looked at a Martin -15 which i also liked in another shop but at half the price  both are fairly rare in Japan to get a hold off  so i,m contyemplating on which one to buy.
I couldnt p;lay them side by side so its hard to compare but both felt good in my hands
cheers

You wrote: "They are wanting $12800" . . . Do you have your decimal in the right place?  I would think $1,280.00 would be a good deal . . . it see it for $1,499.00 in several places online.

Hi sorry  yes still writing in japanese money  yes $1280 It not the first one on your list as that is the premium model diferent electric set up.
Has anyone owned one ?
Thanks Royce Drake for the links
Its actually 1399 pounds sterling in a Scottish shop  so even though the pound has collapsed against the yen its almost half price here in Japan to what it is back in Scotland
.Still money aside i would like to know if poss the endurance ,overall quality ,feel and especailly if problems with the pick up system  as it  has been modified so many times or it that just marketing propoganda cheers.

As far as i can understand through the numerous web links and even Martins own web site this guitar is out of production,so it could become rare in times to come,but first and foremost i want a quality guitar that gives out a great sound  and i feel it does that
.just need some reasurances or imput

Re: Martin 000C-16GTE Auditorium

sorry the prices qoted for the scottish shop is the Premium version.
There is also an AURA version there.I believe this to be the first one made in that series ,since then they have added the Aura and the premium.
No information at all on the web that i can find about the 000-16RGE-Auditorium  normally when you type in the code they are talking about the Aura or the Premium models
.Has anyone owned one at any time  who  can give me an imput on how it plays  and how it stands the test of time
cheers
