Martin J-16E 16-Series Jumbo Acoustic Guitar (Black Smoke)

The J-16E Black Smoke brings a distinctive aesthetic and acoustic power to Martin's refreshed 16 Series, pairing a gloss spruce top in a bold Black Smoke finish with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. The Jumbo body delivers thunderous volume and sparkling top-end response, making it a commanding choice for strummers and rhythm players who need projection without sacrificing clarity. Scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance across the frequency range, while the satin rosewood delivers deep bass and rich overtones that cut through dense mixes. Martin has equipped the J-16E with a 25.4" scale length and modified low oval neck profile, offering comfortable playability across all 20 frets. The ebony fingerboard features Style 28 inlay work and a 1 3/4" nut width, paired with nickel open-gear tuners for smooth, reliable pitch adjustment. L.R. Baggs Element electronics provide stage-ready amplification with natural tone reproduction. The guitar ships strung with Martin Era Legacy Edition strings developed alongside the 16 Series refresh, housed in a protective softshell case.
