The Martin D-16E acoustic electric guitar is a performance ready dreadnought that sings with beautifully balanced tone. It features a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 electronics. The D-16E's dreadnought body pumps out full, articulate sound with superb projection. Its comfortable, modified, low, oval neck profile and 25.4"" scale length provide a familiar feel for most players. The D-16E is an all-solid dreadnought that delivers iconic Martin tone and quality.
The D-16E's solid spruce top generates balanced, resonant tone with shimmering highs and tight lows. As the top ages, it opens up and becomes more complex. Spruce is a prized tonewood for its strength, lightweight nature and ability to produce volume.
East Indian Rosewood back and sides complement the spruce top, adding warmth, depth and sustain. Rosewood produces a balanced timbre that suits many musical styles. Its dense grain helps project sound while also absorbing unwanted overtones.
The Fishman pickup system captures the D-16E's rich acoustic voice for amplified performance or recording. It features an under-saddle piezo pickup and sound hole-mounted preamp with volume and tone controls. The Matrix VT delivers the guitar's true tonal nuances and natural resonance through an amplifier or PA system.
The D-16E features a modified low, oval neck profile, rosewood fretboard and bridge, chrome tuners and a durable hard-shell case. Martin's time-honored mortise and tenon neck joint and dovetail body joint ensure stability and tone. Each D-16E undergoes Martin's rigorous quality testing and setup before leaving the factory.
