Ideal for experienced players looking to build on their skills, the Grand J-16E 12 String is a full-bodied, muscular guitar that generates well-balanced harmonics with a strong, solid low end. We craft it in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a spruce top, so this powerhouse looks as good as it sounds. We also added scalloped X-bracing to create beautifully resonant tone that fills the room even when unplugged. And, while playing a 12 string can be challenging, our high-performance taper neck makes this one comfortable-playing, big-sounding guitar.

The Martin Grand J-16E acoustic-electric bass is made with all-solid tonewoods to deliver a top-notch tone. The body features a Sitka spruce top that’s paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides. Rosewood has many fans here at Sweetwater. It produces warm, resonant tones with a smooth midrange and mellow bass response. The spruce top adds extra note definition and a dash of brightness when you’re picking. Discerning players love this tonewood combination, and so will you.
