Reviews of Martin D16RGT Acoustic Guitar (with Case)
Feature: Solid sitka spruce top and solid east indian rosewood back and sides.
Quality: Incredible workmanship. I cannot find a flaw, except for prominent bear claws on the sitka spruce top. Though it gives the guitar character so I'm not complaining.
Value: For the money this is an awesome guitar.
Sound: Sound quality is excellent. It leans to the bass but highs ring clear as a bell. I've played many guitars at the local guitar shop, D-18's, D-28's and HD-28's and this guitar really holds its own. Its not quite as loud as a HD-28 but the tone is up there. Some of the D-28's I played seemed to be duds as the D-16RGT I bought sounds better. Intonation up the neck is very good (checked with a guitar tuner). Strum open or a E chord and a lot of complex tone comes into play as well as having a nice ring to it. It's like going up to a piano and holding a bunch of keys down. The sound is dark.
Overall: I would only like an HD-28 or HD-28V more, but to me they aren't worth the additional cost, especially the HD-28V.
