The 00L-16E 1935 Burst is the model in Martin’s 16 Series that offers the warmest and most intimate tone. Its high-gloss spruce top—featuring a beautiful 1935 Burst finish—is paired with satin-finished solid mahogany back and sides, giving the guitar a powerful midrange, strong treble response, and controlled bass that sits perfectly in any mix.
Its round-shouldered 00L body shape delivers a woody, responsive sound ideal for fingerstyle, songwriting, or expressive rhythm playing, while offering surprisingly impressive projection for its size. Scalloped X-bracing enhances sustain and resonance, and the L.R. Baggs Element pickup system makes it ready for the stage or the studio.
