Martin J-16E Cream w/softshell case

The J-16E Cream brings Martin’s Jumbo body shape to the refreshed 16 Series, pairing a gloss spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. Its Cream top finish creates a distinctive look against the natural rosewood back and sides, which receive a satin finish.

The Jumbo body uses scalloped X-bracing and Martin’s 25.4" scale length. The spruce and East Indian rosewood construction is designed for the projection and extended range associated with a large-body acoustic, while multi-stripe top binding provides an additional visual detail unique to this finish within the supplied specifications.

A satin-finished select hardwood neck uses Martin’s Modified Low Oval profile. The ebony fingerboard has a 1 3/4" nut width, 20 frets and Style 28 inlays. An ebony bridge, TUSQ saddle, nickel open-gear tuners and faux tortoise pickguard complete the appointments.

L.R. Baggs Element electronics provide straightforward amplification for stage or recording use, and a softshell case is included.
