Originally developed as part of an experiment with alternative bracing patterns, the D-16 is now a treasured Martin favorite. Its solid Sitka spruce top with hybrid X bracing rings loud, clear, and true. Crafted with a Spanish cedar neck and solid sapele back and sides, it's a visual knockout with a triple-bound paua pearl rosette, tortoise endpiece, solid striped ebony fretboard and bridge, abalone dots, chrome tuners, and 5-ply top binding. 16"-radius white Micarta saddle.
