Overview

Martin's popular StreetMaster finish was introduced into their solid mahogany 15 Series in 2017 as a respectful nod to the working musician. Now Martin has applied this beautifully distressed finish to East Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce for the first time, and it is a fine addition to Martin's 16 Series. The Adirondack spruce top also includes Martin's proprietary Vintage Tone System (VTS), which ages the wood for a truly vintage tone that you’d normally have to wait many decades to enjoy. If you love the look of the StreetMaster finish but want the bigger and bassier sound you get from highly coveted East Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce, this guitar was made for you. Whether your next gig is at the historic Ryman Auditorium or a day of busking in the big city, the StreetMaster gives you the look and feel of a well-worn instrument, with a limited lifetime warranty and the superb playability of a new guitar. This model comes with a soft-shell case, making it easy to take it to the streets!

Tonal palette is excellent! I would recommend this guitar for playing classical, romantic, Baroque, Jazz and strumming all styles of music. Martin uses same wood quality that is on their standard series 28,35. Cost savings are no pick guard, no white binding or trim, CNC machine does the Dovetail construction instead by hand which CNC machine makes a more precise cutting and it has a soft case instead of hard case. I did buy Martin C330 hardshell case which Cost $300.00.
