Player's Perspective

Stepping up to the plate is an absolutely beautiful D-16E from our friends at Martin. The dreadnought body shape is powerful and the deep and full tone radiating out of this beauty packs quite a punch.

Built right in Pennsylvania, this represents some of the best craftsmanship that Martin has to offer without going too flashy and fancy with appointments. This is a guitar that lets the wood do the talking. The combination of the ovangkol tonewoods and the dreadnought body shape combine for a guitar that, simply put, has a massive sound. The low end is prominent but defined and punchy

This is a guitar that projects really well and can easily handle heavy strumming without overdriving the top and getting woofy. Heavy-handed players will particularly like how this beauty can keep up with you every step of the way. Ovangkol is a pretty dynamic wood so you'll also be able to get any picking or fingerstyle subtleties in your playing to shine through. Every aspect of this guitar works together to provide this articulate sound while still being deep and bassy. It's a wonderful mix of clarity and warmth.
