This is a 2021 Martin D-16E in excellent condition. Shows only very minor signs of wear on the finish - nothing notable enough to even be captured in pictures, save some very tiny pockmarks in the finish on one side (pictured) and a very small finish ding on the top - very minimal fret wear, nearly imperceptible (see photos).

This one is a gloss top, from before they downgraded to satin finish.

Plays and sounds GREAT - action is easy - neck angle is perfect and there's plenty of saddle left for adjustments down the line...

The (very mediocre) factory undersaddle pickup was previously removed and I am including the very highly regarded Double X2 wired/wireless magnetic/mic rechargeable pickup as part of this offer. See the Youtube video in the pictures for a great review of this amazing new pickup. Pickup is completely non-invasive, rechargeable vis USB-C cable and can be moved in and out of the soundhole in seconds. The guitar’s original pickup jack is intact and ready for permanently wiring in this or any other pickup whenever you want. included with the pickup is hardware and wiring for permanent install bypassing the wireless connection. SOUNDS AS GOOD AS MY $300 Fishman Rare Earth Blend and is way more convenient to use! Seriously, I have bought 3 of them now!

Includes original Martin gig bag in excellent/ near mint condition.

I am only selling because I am starting to only play small-body short-scale guitars. I will ship within 3 biz days of purchase - NO INTERNATIONAL BIDS - LOWER 48 ONLY. I reserve the right to cancel purchases from no-feedback or suspicious users. Thanks for looking!
