The perfect nylon-string guitar for steel-string players
Many acoustic players shy away from nylon-string guitars due to the extra-wide nut width. Martin's 000C12-16E Nylon features a 1-7/8-inch nut width that's closer to the feel of a typical steel-string acoustic, making it more comfortable for a wider range of players. You'll find there is still plenty of string spacing to accommodate fingerpicking.
Choice tonewoods — spruce, mahogany, and ebony
The Martin 000C12-16E Nylon is a prime example of the high-quality tonewoods Martin selects for their instruments. Its solid spruce top gives you detailed projection with the perfect amount of sparkle. The 000C12-16E Nylon's mahogany back and sides give you a warm and mellow quality, providing it with an all-around balanced tone. And the premium ebony fretboard sets a fantastic foundation for your fretwork while accentuating your tone's attack and presence.
