Martin D-16E: 16 Series Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Gig Bag

The Martin D-16E is a stage-ready dreadnought built for players who need uncompromising tone, playability, and performance. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a bold and balanced acoustic voice, offering warm mids, tight bass, and crisp trebles. Its gloss-finished top maximizes projection, while the satin-finished body and modified low oval neck profile provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience.

Inside, scalloped forward-shifted X-bracing gives the top extra resonance and responsiveness, making it ideal for dynamic strumming or expressive fingerpicking. The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics faithfully capture the guitar's natural acoustic tone, making it a powerful tool for live gigs or studio recording. The D-16E blends traditional Martin craftsmanship with modern playability and tone, making it a versatile choice for any serious musician.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. 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.

If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.

Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain /  colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument.
