Martin J-16E, 1935 Burst

We're so impressed with this new style of jumbo acoustic-electric offered by Martin Guitar. An extremely comfortable body despite its size, this guitar brings the powerful volume of a dreadnought without the extra boominess, allowing instead for sparkling clarity to compliment the rich bass tones. The 1935 Burst is a beautiful new finish offering that recalls the past, and the L.R. Baggs Element make the guitar stage- and recording studio-ready for the modern player. Here at the shop, we're huge fans of this guitar and think it will appeal to a wide range of players. Come try it out for yourself!
