Condition: Great condition, plays great. Small indentation on lower bout, and some light indentations on back of neck (both pictured). Only noticeable in certain lights. Superb guitar, and excellent for 10 years old.
Overview:
This 2015 Martin D‑16E is a standout version of the model, featuring elegant silver binding and a herringbone rosette—elements that add a touch of class to its bold dreadnought profile. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers the full-bodied tone and clear projection Martin is famous for, but with the added comfort of a slightly slimmer 000-style depth. The modified low-oval neck with high-performance taper makes it highly playable across all registers. With the Fishman Matrix VT Enhance system on board, this guitar is equally at home on stage or in the studio, offering a natural and dynamic plugged-in sound.
