Description
The Martin J-16E brings serious volume and low-end punch to the refreshed 16 Series in a Jumbo body built for players who want a guitar that fills a room. This one pairs a gloss spruce top finished in Cream with satin East Indian rosewood back and sides, giving it deep bass, rich overtones, and articulate top-end clarity that cuts through a mix.
The big Jumbo body delivers thunderous volume with sparkling high end — ideal for strummers, rhythm players, and anyone who wants their guitar to carry a stage on its own. Scalloped X-bracing under that spruce top keeps the response lively and dynamic rather than boomy, so it stays articulate even when you dig 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 under the hands, while built-in L.R. Baggs Element electronics make it stage-ready out of the case. It ships strung with Martin's new Era Legacy Edition strings in a softshell case.
