Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A portion of the frets were not level with each other requiring them to be leveled, recrowned, and polished into near mint condition.
From Martin and Co.
The Martin D-16 acoustic-electric offers players a sleek and comfortable Dreadnought-style guitar. Handcrafted in our Nazareth factory as part of the 16 Series, its body shape combines the power and projection of the iconic Dreadnought with the depth and comfort of an Auditorium (000) model. Available with East Indian rosewood satin back and sides, this guitar is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you.
