Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I am very satisfied with this guitar.
Sound
I have owned a JC16ME for about 4 years. This is my favourite guitar. The action is relatively low, sounds and plays great. I have found this guitar very easy for finger picking. Lovely bright sustain with the maple back and sides and excellent playability.gives out a very balanced sound. I have played a few gigs with this guitar and the onboard aura system as sounded amazing. never let me down! I bought a pro11 Hiscox case as i thought such a lovely guitar needed more protection than it had in the martin case. I got a lot of guitar for the money I paid and im sure its sounding even better than the day i bought it.
