Discover the MARTIN GUITAR 16 Series 00L-16E Blue Denim, an exceptional instrument for musicians seeking quality and performance. Made in the United States, this electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar offers an unparalleled playing experience.

Overview

The MARTIN GUITAR 00L-16E is a 00 Sloped Shoulder electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar with a short 24.9" scale length. Compact and comfortable to play, it is particularly well-suited for fingerpicking and blends seamlessly into a variety of styles such as blues, bluegrass, and Americana.

High-quality craftsmanship for a rich and dynamic sound

This guitar stands out for its all-solid-wood, high-end construction, featuring a Sitka spruce solid top, a mahogany body and neck, and an ebony fingerboard. This combination of woods produces a full, powerful tone, with:

• Generous bass response
• Prominent mids
• Full, clear highs

The ebony fingerboard helps naturally compress the sound, offering appreciable clarity when used in various musical contexts.

A high-performance sound system for any situation

Equipped with the Baggs Element VTC system, the 00L-16E features a piezo pickup installed under the nut and a Class A active preamp in the jack. This system also includes two knobs for adjusting volume and tone. The tones—whether strummed or plucked—are balanced and dynamic, faithfully reproducing the vibrations of the soundboard with a smooth response:

• Clear, natural tone
• Dynamic response
• Less rigid than many competing models

Powered by a 9V LR61 battery, the system offers a remarkable battery life of approximately 1,000 hours, ensuring you’ll never be caught off guard during your performances.
