"Historical American Craftsmanship"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I now own a piece of history. The D-16E checks all the boxes for an American Made acoustic guitar. I am impressed with the clarity and projection of this instrument. Right out of the box, guitar was in tune and the set-up was perfect, unlike many other guitars I have purchased over the years. Attention to detail was evident. This is my first Martin, but all of my research and gained knowledge of the Nazareth, Pa. company, left me confidant that I was buying a quality piece and I am not disappointed. The workmanship is top notch. The guitar is absolutely beautiful to the eye and touch.This guitar is high quality, and stage ready. The factory mounted Fishman pickups are a great addition. This is my 4th guitar purchased from zZounds, including Marshall amps and a bunch of effects pedals and accessories, I have had only positive experience's. I would recommend C.F. Martin acoustic guitars, any model. They are the best in the world in my opinion. The D-16E is extremely affordable and it's American made quality.
