Description
The all-new D-16E from Martin gives acoustic players full-bodied Martin tone and playability, with an array of players-grade features, at a price that won't break the bank. With a dreadnought-shaped body, East Indian rosewood back and sides, you have a rock-solid tonal foundation complemented by the beautiful high-end sparkle of a Sitka spruce top. You also get exceptional playability up and down the neck, thanks to a high-performance taper and modified low oval shape.

Plus, the guitar’s Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics ensure quality tone every time you plug it in.
