Description
The Martin 00L-16E Sloped Shoulder - Blue Denim brings a warm, intimate voice to the refreshed 16 Series, pairing standout style with a focused, vintage-inspired sound. Ideal for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and expressive rhythm guitarists, this model combines classic Martin character with a unique Blue Denim finish that gives the traditional sloped-shoulder design a fresh look. The short 24.9" scale length and compact frame make it an easy guitar to settle into, whether you're writing at home or performing on stage.
A gloss spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides produce punchy mids, crisp trebles, and a controlled low end that sits naturally in a mix. Scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and sustain, giving the 00L surprising projection and dynamic range despite its smaller footprint. The onboard L.R. Baggs Element electronics faithfully capture the guitar's natural voice, making it equally comfortable in the studio or plugged in on stage.
The satin-finished select hardwood neck features Martin's Modified Low Oval profile and is paired with an ebony fingerboard adorned with classic 1955 Style 18 inlays. A grained ivoroid pickguard, nickel open-gear tuners, and an ebony bridge round out a package that's built for years of dependable performance. We think this is an exceptional option for players who want vintage-inspired tone with a finish that stands apart from the crowd.
