The Martin DSS-16E offers a bold voice to the 16 Series -- pairing standout style with warm, vintage-inspired tone. Its gloss spruce top in your choice of finish is matched with satin solid mahogany back and sides for punchy midrange, strong treble response, and a focused low end that sits well in any mix. The slope-shoulder Dreadnought body shape delivers a woody, intimate tone -- now paired for the first time with a short 24.9" scale length for a relaxed feel that complements its natural warmth. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and bass response. LR Baggs Element electronics make it ready for the stage. Strung with Martin Era Legacy Edition strings developed alongside the refreshed 16 Series, it's built to command the room.
