Description
The Martin J-16E 1935 Burst brings a vintage-inspired sunburst finish to the refreshed 16 Series' big Jumbo body, built for players who want serious volume without giving up clarity. A gloss spruce top pairs with satin East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep bass, rich overtones, and highs that stay articulate even at volume.
That Jumbo body was built for thunderous projection with a sparkling top end, making it a natural choice for strummers and rhythm players who need to be heard. Scalloped X-bracing keeps the spruce top dynamic and responsive rather than boomy, so the tone stays focused whether you're playing lightly or digging in.
A Select Hardwood neck with a Modified Low Oval profile, ebony fingerboard with Style 28 inlays, and nickel open-gear tuners keep it comfortable and stable, while built-in L.R. Baggs Element electronics make it ready for the stage straight out of the case. It ships strung with Martin's new Era Legacy Edition strings in a softshell case.
