This Martin DSS-16E 16 Series blends vintage-inspired style with unmistakable modern performance, delivering the warm, woody voice that has made slope-shoulder acoustics a favorite for generations. Its solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides create a rich, balanced sound with dry, punchy mids, clear highs, and a warm low end that sits beautifully in any musical setting. Finished in a striking Cherry Cola gloss, it offers a fresh take on a timeless design that’s sure to stand out on stage or in the studio.

The comfortable 24.9” scale length, Modified Low Oval neck, and Performance taper make this guitar feel inviting from the very first chord. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing gives every note exceptional responsiveness, adding impressive projection and dynamic range whether you’re strumming with authority or exploring delicate fingerstyle arrangements. Premium appointments like the ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, open-gear tuners, and classic grained ivoroid pickguard complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic with Martin’s renowned attention to detail.

Equipped with an LR Baggs Element pickup, this guitar is ready to deliver its natural character wherever your music takes you. From intimate acoustic performances to full-band stages, it captures every nuance of your playing with warmth and clarity. Combining classic Martin craftsmanship, inspiring tone, and effortless playability, it’s an instrument built to become a lifelong favorite. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
