DESCRIPTION

The Martin D-16E acoustic-electric guitar is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design, offering musicians a blend of power, comfort, and elegance that is truly unmatched. Handcrafted with precision in Martin’s historic Nazareth factory, this guitar is a proud member of the esteemed 16 Series, a line known for its impeccable quality and attention to detail.

The D-16E boasts a sleek and comfortable Dreadnought body shape, reimagined to cater to the modern musician. It seamlessly marries the commanding power and projection of the classic Dreadnought with the refined depth and ergonomic comfort of an Auditorium (000) model. This unique combination ensures that whether you’re strumming boldly on stage or picking delicately in the studio, the D-16E delivers a rich, resonant tone that fills any room with warmth and clarity.

With a satin-finished spruce top, the D-16E produces a warm, resonant tone with a slightly softer, more open sound. The back and sides are crafted East Indian rosewood, renowned for its tonal richness and visual beauty. Rosewood provides a complex, full-bodied sound with deep bass and shimmering highs.

Every element of the D-16E is designed to inspire creativity and enhance your playing experience. The guitar’s comfortable neck profile and smooth fretboard make it a joy to play, whether you’re performing intricate fingerstyle passages or powerful chord progressions.
