A versatile left-handed acoustic-electric that melds classic looks with modern playability.

The Martin D-16E left-handed acoustic-electric guitar lets you shape your music with handcrafted tone and plugged-in versatility. Combining the bold voice of a Dreadnought with the comfort of an Auditorium body, the D-16E resonates with lush, balanced tone. East Indian rosewood back and sides provide rich warmth and projection, complementing the clear, articulate response of a solid Sitka spruce top. With its slim, ebony fingerboard and high-performance neck, the D-16E plays with violin-like ease. Onboard Martin E1 electronics give you control over your amplified sound so you can sculpt studio-quality tone for any performance.

Iconic Shape, Modern Voice

The D-16E's Dreadnought body produces full, punchy tone with powerful bass and crystalline treble. East Indian rosewood contributes depth and richness, highlighting the spruce top's tonal clarity. Together, these premium tonewoods generate resonant, highly responsive tone with lush overtones.

Quality Tonewoods Shape Classic Martin Tone

The D-16E features a solid Sitka spruce top which provides a balanced tone with articulate highs, warm midrange and rich bass. The back and sides are made of East Indian rosewood which enhances the low end and adds richness to the mids. Together these tonewoods create the bold, balanced tone that Martin Dreadnoughts are known for. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a warm yet focused tone and smooth playability.

Versatile Tone Control

With the D-16E's onboard Martin E1 electronics, you can shape your amplified tone with precision. Controls for volume, tone and phase let you tweak the spruce top's natural response or add warmth from the rosewood back and sides. A built-in tuner ensures you're always in tune, even without plugging in. Whether recording, performing live or practicing at home, the D-16E gives you complete tonal control.

Superior Components, Legendary Playability

Crafted with the finest tonewoods and components, the D-16E rivals much higher-end instruments in quality and sound. Its solid mahogany neck features Martin's comfortable low oval profile. The slim ebony fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, plays smooth and fast. An ebony bridge helps transfer string vibration for optimal resonance.
