The Martin D-16E acoustic-electric offers players a sleek and comfortable Dreadnought-style guitar.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the D-16E lets you sculpt your sound with onboard controls for volume, tone, and phase, while the built-in chromatic tuner ensures accurate tuning without the need for plugging in.
