2025 Martin D-16E Rosewood Natural
Pairing Martin’s iconic big-bodied dreadnought format with the slimmed-down depth of a 000 model, the D-16E01 delivers big on stage-ready acoustic-electric sound and booming unplugged projection. This guitar’s tonewood formula comprises a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back/sides — a timeless combination of timbers that provides robust low-end authority, superb projection, and a complex, harmonic-rich tonality. Moreover, the top is supported by vintage-inspired forward-shifted X-bracing to further enhance the D-16E01’s already stout bass response. Move on over to the neck to be greeted by Martin’s comfortable Modified Low Oval profile, which is topped off with a luxurious 16-inch-radius ebony fingerboard and fingerstyle-friendly 1.75-inch nut width. You also get a Martin E1 electronics package that sings with acoustic authenticity when you’re up onstage. Topped off with old-school open-gear tuners, antique white binding, and a striking multi-stripe herringbone rosette, the D-16E01 represents the perfect marriage of vintage-style Martin appointments and modern gig-ready performance.
