Martin D-16E Mahogany Satin Acoustic Electric


The Martin D-16E Mahogany Satin is a premium acoustic-electric guitar designed for serious players seeking tone, comfort, and stage-ready performance. Part of Martin’s acclaimed 16 Series and handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this model combines the classic Dreadnought body shape with the slimmer depth of an Auditorium (000), offering power, projection, and a more comfortable playing experience.


Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and satin-finished mahogany back and sides, the D-16E delivers a warm, focused tone with balanced lows, rich mids, and sparkling highs. The satin finish enhances resonance and gives the guitar a smooth, organic feel.


Inside, forward-shifted X-bracing with scalloped braces allows the top to move more freely, resulting in an open, dynamic sound with impressive clarity and volume. The simple dovetail neck joint ensures long-term structural integrity and strong tonal transfer from body to neck.


The neck profile is a modified low oval with a high-performance taper—ideal for players who want fast action and modern comfort. A 1 3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length offer familiar spacing for both rhythm and lead work, making it equally suitable for strumming or intricate fingerpicking.


Equipped with Martin’s E1 electronics system, this guitar is ready for live performance and studio sessions. The onboard controls include volume, tone, and phase settings, plus a built-in chromatic tuner for quick, accurate tuning on the fly.


Whether you're gigging, recording, or practicing, the Martin D-16E Mahogany Satin delivers the tone, versatility, and reliability you expect from one of the world’s most respected acoustic brands.
