Martin DC-16GTE Premium - Pics and Sound Clip Posted!

I have this guitar except it's the rosewood model. I couldn't be happier with it. The tone is o so sweet and the electronics are solid. I recommend the phosphor bronze elixer strings. I never played the mohagany version but I've never been a big fan of that type of wood anyway. Pretty good if you can get it for lower than that price you mentioned. I got mine with case and all for 1400. It's a nice git-box fo sho.

yours have the aura system in it? Or pre aura? Either way great guitar. Back when I was comparing the mahogeny model to the rosewood, I couldnt tell all that much difference. How would you describe the sound of yor rosewood?

I played with the aura but I'm not a big fan of simulators. Its definitely a great pickup but I went with the fishmen mic/under-the-bridge pickup blender. It works great and picks up all the percussion I do on the face and side of the guitar. The thing I notice between mahogany and rosewood is brightness. Mahogany is a much brighter sounding wood in general than rosewood. I personally prefer rosewood because of how rich and bassy it can be. This is not to say the mids and highs are drown out. Mine has a pretty balanced sound but it truly sings with the bass. It also can be pretty punchy sounding with a flatpick which is great for strictly acoustic, no amplification, performances. Great guitar either way because it's martin quality. Probably the most bang for your buck out of all the martin guitars IMO.
