The D-16E represents Martin's commitment to crafting instruments that balance traditional tonewoods with modern playability features. This 16 Series Dreadnought showcases a Sitka spruce gloss top that provides the balanced tone and projection guitarists demand from a quality acoustic instrument.
Built with a high-performance neck taper, this guitar offers comfortable playability across the entire fretboard, making it suitable for both rhythm work and lead playing. The inclusion of Fishman® Matrix VT Enhance NT2 electronics ensures you're ready for stage or studio applications straight out of the case.
Martin has fitted this instrument with their Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 light gauge strings, giving you optimal tone and feel from the moment you first pick it up. The combination of premium materials and thoughtful design makes the D-16E a reliable choice for serious players.
