Martin DC-16E 

The Martin DC-16E is a bold and modern take on the classic dreadnought, designed with innovation in mind and tone as the top priority. Originally developed as part of Martin’s 16 Series experiments in maximizing performance while keeping costs down, this model showcases a powerful combination of proprietary Forward-Shifted X Scalloped bracing and all-solid tonewoods for a rich, dynamic voice.

With a solid Sitka spruce top and sycamore back and sides, the DC-16E projects with the punch and depth you’d expect from a full-size dreadnought, yet retains clarity and balance across the tonal spectrum. The high-grade black ebony fingerboard adds a touch of smooth elegance to your fretting experience, while the nearly 16-inch-wide body delivers that unmistakable “D” size boom—perfect for both flatpicking and strumming.

Whether you're laying down tracks or lighting up the stage, the onboard Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics ensure your tone translates beautifully when amplified. From practice room to performance, the DC-16E brings Martin’s heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation together in one powerful acoustic-electric package.

This Martin DC-16E is in excellent condition. Minimal fret wear. There are a few scratches on the pickguard as well as one small ding on the bass side lower bout (see picture).
