Martin D-16E Rosewood

The Martin D-16E (Rosewood) is a full-massage dreadnought-type electro-acoustic guitar with a shallower body (depth equivalent to a "triple-neck") from the 16 Series. It can appeal to players who find the standard Dreadnought too bulky. The guitar comes in a high-quality soft shell case, making it instantly ready to be loaded into the trunk of your car/van for long or short trips to pursue your musical dreams.

The front of the guitar is made from solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are also made from solid East Indian rosewood. The resonance of the soundboard and the overall good acoustic properties of the guitar are enhanced by the special X-ribbing (Forward-Shifted X-Brace).

The Select Hardwood neck, which is attached to the body at the fourteenth fret as standard, is joined by a 20-fret ebony fingerboard. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position markers and white dots on the sides. Precise tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by the string attachment through the TusQ compensated saddle and the bone zero fret in the Nickel Open Gear and ebony fingerboard. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the Antique White body binding, herringbone rosette, rosewood veneer on the headstock and a pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell, which also protects the lacquer from scratches.

The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics with controls in the soundhole guarantee a faithful reproduction of the guitar's acoustic sound.

The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in stringed instruments. For decades, it has been one of the leading innovators in guitar design and manufacturing technology. However, to use only the past tense would be a great mistake; instruments with the Martin logo are still today among the guarantees of the highest quality in craftsmanship and sound. In addition, their current products use "eco-friendly" components made from renewable resources and composite materials.
