Details
The 16 Series guitars from Martin have undergone a thoughtful and practical revamp, creating an identity and style that is unique to the 16 Series. The 00L-16E is a take on the 14-fret sloped-shoulder 00. This model is done in an attractive 1935 sunburst gloss finish over the spruce top, and matched with a satin finish over the mahogany back and sides. Not only does it look great, but it sounds great as well. This guitar has punchy mids, shimmery trebles, and clear bass frequencies. With its scalloped x-bracing, it truly blends the vintage-inspired Martin tone with modern sensibilities that would sit well in any mix.
Like in previous years, these guitars have remained a stage-ready acoustic-electrics, but are now equipped with L.R. Baggs Element piezo pickups, which sound great with just about any type of amplification you’ll plug them into. These come stock with Martin’s new Era Legacy strings, that were voiced alongside these new 16 Series guitars. If you’re a songwriter, playing fingerstyle, or mostly a rhythm player, this model presents a choice that could likely handle it all. It comes with Martin’s padded plush gig bag.
