Martin J-16E 1935 16-Series Jumbo Acoustic Guitar (Burst)

The Martin J-16E 1935 Burst brings a reimagined take on the Jumbo body format to the refreshed 16 Series, combining a gloss spruce top finished in striking 1935 Burst with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides in satin. The Jumbo body's large footprint generates thunderous volume and sparkling top-end response that cuts through dense mixes, while scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance across the frequency spectrum. L.R. Baggs Element electronics provide stage-ready amplification, and the guitar ships strung with Martin Era Legacy Edition strings developed specifically for this series. The 25.4" scale length pairs with a 14-fret neck joint and Modified Low Oval profile, offering comfortable access across all 20 frets. The ebony fingerboard measures 1 3/4" at the nut and features Style 28 inlay work, matched with an ebony bridge and bone saddle for clear harmonic transmission. Nickel open-gear tuning machines handle string tension, while the faux tortoise pickguard protects the gloss top from pick wear. Select hardwood neck construction with satin finish balances playability with durability, and the included softshell case provides transport protection.
