You are looking at Serial#: 2968288

Handcrafted in Martin's renowned Nazareth, Pennsylvania factory, the Grand J-16E 12-String delivers the rich, immersive sound that only a 12-string can provide. As part of the 16 Series, it features an innovative Grand Jumbo body shape that combines bold projection with the comfortable feel of an Auditorium-style guitar, making it equally suited for long practice sessions, studio work, and live performances. A solid spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides produces a warm, resonant voice with sparkling highs, lush overtones, and outstanding balance across the tonal spectrum. The added strings create the signature chorus-like shimmer that brings depth and dimension to everything from delicate fingerstyle arrangements to full, strummed chords. When it's time to plug in, Martin's E1 electronics offer intuitive onboard controls for volume, tone, and phase, giving you the flexibility to dial in your ideal amplified sound. A built-in chromatic tuner ensures quick, accurate tuning whenever you need it, even when you're not connected to an amplifier. With its premium tonewoods, thoughtful design, and legendary Martin craftsmanship, the Grand J-16E 12-String is an inspiring instrument built to elevate every performance and bring a new level of richness to your playing.
