{"product_id":"1998-martin-000-16t-acoustic-guitar-used-23009","title":"1998 Martin 000-16T Acoustic Guitar - Used","description":"Since its inception in the mid 90’s, the 16 series was an avenue for Martin to experiment with emerging technologies - hence the T (technology) designation. These instruments were among the first Martins to be built with a mortise and tenon neck joint, which offered a functional alternative to their usual dovetail method. These guitars came with a paired down aesthetic; while they look a bit like their 18-style siblings, they instead feature a subtle and understated semi-gloss finish. But for all these divergences from Martin’s usual design, it’s still delivers the quintessential Martin tone; ultimately, making it one of the most affordable all-solid American made Martin on the market.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eCosmetically, this guitar is in excellent condition. Despite the very thin semi-gloss finish, there isn’t a significant amount of wear to be seen. Looking over the instrument critically, you can find a couple random dings on the back and sides and a tiny ding on headstock. Otherwise, there are relatively few indications that the instrument was played, and as a result, the frets show very little wear and still have plenty of life in them.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eOriginal case is included.","brand":"CF Martin \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45094666109127,"sku":"MAR00016T-639396","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1209971_e95ee7e7-40bd-4506-8638-8e9462815aaa.jpg?v=1781261695","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/1998-martin-000-16t-acoustic-guitar-used-23009","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
