Martin D-16E: 16 Series Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Martin D-16E is a stage-ready dreadnought built for players who need uncompromising tone, playability, and performance. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a bold and balanced acoustic voice, offering warm mids, tight bass, and crisp trebles. Its gloss-finished top maximizes projection, while the satin-finished body and modified low oval neck profile provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience.

Inside, scalloped forward-shifted X-bracing gives the top extra resonance and responsiveness, making it ideal for dynamic strumming or expressive fingerpicking. The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics faithfully capture the guitar’s natural acoustic tone, making it a powerful tool for live gigs or studio recording.
