The 1935 Burst finish is a deeply evocative warm sunburst colourway that draws its name and inspiration from one of the most celebrated eras in acoustic guitar history - the pre-war golden age of Martin craftsmanship - giving the J-16E a visual character that is as historically resonant as it is visually striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Jumbo body is Martin's most expansive format, producing a room-filling acoustic voice with sparkling top-end response and commanding projection ideally suited to strummers, rhythm players, and performers who need their acoustic to cut through and carry in any live setting. Scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance for a full, dynamic voice across the entire frequency range, while the Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper, ebony fingerboard with Style 28 mother-of-pearl inlays, bone nut, TUSQ saddle, ebony bridge with abalone-dotted black polymer bridge pins, nickel open-gear butterbean tuners, East Indian rosewood headplate with script old-style overlay, faux tortoise pickguard, and antique white binding complete a 16 Series specification of refreshed vintage-inspired style. L.R. Baggs Element electronics make the J-16E stage and studio-ready from the moment it leaves the waterproof softshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss 1935 Burst spruce top with satin solid East Indian rosewood back and sides delivers deep bass, rich overtones, and articulate highs in the Jumbo body's characteristic thunderous, room-filling acoustic voice - a historically evocative finish on Martin's largest and most powerful body format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJumbo body produces commanding projection and sparkling top-end response with abundant volume ideally suited to strummers, rhythm players, and live performers who need their acoustic to command any room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalloped X-bracing enhances sustain, resonance, and tonal richness for a full, dynamic acoustic voice that rewards both light fingerpicking and aggressive open-chord strumming with equally expressive response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper, ebony fingerboard with Style 28 mother-of-pearl inlays, bone nut, and nickel open-gear butterbean tuners deliver the familiar, comfortable Modern Martin playing experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.R.
