The Martin D-16E acoustic-electric offers players a sleek and comfortable dreadnought-style guitar. Handcrafted in the Nazareth factory as part of the 16 Series, its body shape combines the power and projection of the iconic Dreadnought with the depth and comfort of an Auditorium (000) model. This creates a unique playing experience.
At its core lies a resonant spruce top, paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the D-16E lets you sculpt your sound with onboard controls for volume, tone, and phase, while the built-in chromatic tuner ensures accurate tuning without the need for plugging in.
This is a super comfortable guitar, thanks to it's shallower depth, but still sounds big, just as you would expect from a Martin dreadnought. It has a full voice with a dynamic character that comes out whether you are strumming or picking, and whether you are playing acoustically at home or plugged in on stage.
This guitar is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you.
