Martin D-16E Rosewood: 16 Series Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Martin D-16E Rosewood delivers a classic dreadnought voice with powerful low end and sparkling highs, thanks to its solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. This tonewood pairing provides deep resonance and rich harmonic content, ideal for players who demand volume, clarity, and tonal nuance. With forward-shifted X-bracing under the top, this guitar projects beautifully whether strummed or picked, making it a superb option for solo performance or ensemble work.

Equipped with Martin's E1 electronics system, the D-16E is ready for the stage or studio. Volume, tone, and phase controls allow for easy sound shaping, while the onboard tuner offers added convenience. A Modified Low Oval neck and 16-inch radius ebony fingerboard provide smooth, ergonomic playability. Finished with refined details like antique white binding, open-gear tuners, and a herringbone rosette, the D-16E Rosewood stands out for its beauty as much as its sound.

Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
