Martin J-16E Grand Jumbo 12 String - Natural

The Martin J-16E Grand Jumbo 12 String - Natural expands the refreshed 16 Series with a bold, sonically rich voice built around the unmistakable shimmer and depth of a 12-string. Perfect for strummers, singer-songwriters, and players looking to add texture to recordings and live performances, this model pairs the power of a Grand Jumbo body with the comfort of a shallower 000 depth. The vintage-tinted spruce top and rosewood body deliver classic Martin style with a sound that's impossible to ignore.

A gloss spruce top and satin East Indian rosewood back and sides produce deep bass, rich overtones, and the signature chime that makes a 12-string so inspiring to play. The large Grand Jumbo body offers exceptional projection, while its shallower depth keeps the instrument comfortable during long sessions. Non-scalloped X-bracing provides balance and clarity across all twelve strings, and the onboard L.R. Baggs Element electronics make it ready for the studio or the stage.

The satin-finished select hardwood neck is shaped specifically for 12-string performance and pairs with an ebony fingerboard featuring classic Style 28 inlays. Nickel open-gear tuners, an ebony bridge, and a bone saddle complete a package designed for reliability and stability. We think this is an excellent choice for players who want the unmistakable sound of a jumbo 12-string without sacrificing comfort.
