The Martin Grand J-16E 12-String acoustic-electric offers players a sleek and comfortable 12-string guitar to add to their acoustic arsenal. Handcrafted in our Nazareth factory as part of the 16 Series, its body shape combines the projective tone of a Grand Jumbo with the depth and comfort of an Auditorium (000) guitar.
At its core lies a satin spruce top, paired with satin East Indian rosewood back and sides, a tonewood renowned for being resonant and well-balanced with deep bass and rich overtones. The guitar's high-performance neck taper and ebony bridge and fingerboard, adorned with mother of pearl dot inlays, add to its unparalleled playability and tone, while the extra strings provide a unique layer of chime and texture.
Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the Grand J-16E 12-String gives you control over your sound, whether you’re playing at home, on stage, or in the studio. The onboard controls for volume, tone, and phase let you sculpt your sound with precision, while the built-in chromatic tuner ensures accurate tuning without the need for plugging in.
Complete with a softshell case for added protection, the Martin Grand J-16E 12-String is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you.
