Default R the Martin DC-16GTR's good guitars ??

Have been listening to some Martin DC-16GTR series guitars and they seem to have a very good sound to them ?? Anyone else hear them this way ??

I've yet to hear a bad 16-series Martin. I had a D-16LSH for a while and it was a very nice guitar. If I hadn't found a great deal on my D18GE, I'd still have it.

I'm not familiar with the DC-16GTR. Did you perhaps mean the DC-16GTE?

I had a 2008 Martin DC-16RE Aura that I never should have sold! I currently have a 2010 Martin DCPA1 Performing Artist Series Dreadnought which I love. To answer your question, the Martin DC-16GTE is a mighty fine guitar, as are all the Martin 16 Series guitars.

Excellent Guitars. They can hang with the other Martin models.
