Martin D16R Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (with Case)

The Martin D-16R is part of the well-established and innovative solid wood 16-Series, originally conceived and developed as an experiment to deliver better sound at a lower cost by using a special combination of our proprietary bracing systems. The D-16R, with its Hybrid X-bracing has now become a longtime Martin favorite. Other features include a solid Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides and a patented neck mortise. Enhanced visual appointments common on some 16-Series models are usually found on much higher priced guitars.
