collapse expand iconDescription

The Martin 000C12-16E Nylon is a premier nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar that unleashes your creative potential. Its solid spruce top, and mahogany back and sides produce a rich, balanced tone with crisp highs, warm lows and a focused midrange. The 000C12-16E Nylon comes equipped with Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT1 electronics, featuring an onboard tuner, volume control and EQ for crafting your perfect sound in any setting.

Premium Pickup Provides Total Tonal Control

The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT1 pickup gives you complete command over your amplified tone. Roll the EQ knob to add punchy mids or open up the sound, and blend in the natural resonance of the soundhole pickup. An onboard tuner ensures you're in tune before stepping on stage. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, the 000C12-16E Nylon delivers the flexibility and performance you need.

Cutaway Design Offers Full Fretboard Access

The 000C12-16E Nylon's cutaway body provides comfortable access to higher frets, allowing you to explore the full range of the 25.4" scale length ebony fretboard. Play intricate solos with ease or reach chord voicings not possible on a traditional classical guitar. The cutaway is ergonomically sculpted for a natural feel against your body during long practice or performance sessions.

Familiar Nut Width Feels Like Home

With a nut width of 1-7/8", the 000C12-16E Nylon has a slightly narrower fretboard than a traditional classical guitar. The familiar feel allows steel-string players to transition seamlessly while still providing the string spacing required for complex classical fingering techniques. Whether you're a dedicated nylon-string player or looking to add a new dimension to your playing, the 000C12-16E Nylon is an inspiring instrument.
