Description
Martin J-16E - Cream
Ready to bring the noise and turn some heads while doing it? The Martin J-16E is a big, bold, room-filling machine that couples legendary Martin craftsmanship with an eye-popping head-turner of a Cream top. If you’ve been looking for an instrument that lays down a massive acoustic footprint while still letting every delicate note sing out with crystal clarity, this full-bodied jumbo is calling your name.
Under the hood, Martin paired a solid spruce top with scalloped X-bracing, driving incredible velocity of sound and quick-response projection. That punchy spruce top is backed up by solid East Indian rosewood for the back and sides, laying down a deep, chocolatey bass response, rich harmonic overtones, and a lush low-end bloom. It’s the exact combination of tonewoods that legendary pickers and acoustic icons like Elvis Presley, Shawn Colvin, and Chris Cornell have leaned on for decades when they needed a massive sound to command the stage.
Despite its full-size J-14 body, playing this powerhouse feels like a breeze. The ultra-smooth satin-finished neck sports Martin's Modified Low Oval profile, keeping your hand happy whether you're laying down heavy rhythm work for hours or cruising up the ebony fretboard for solo runs. Plug in on stage or crank it in the studio using the onboard L.R. Baggs Element electronics, and you’ll get an ultra-natural amplified tone that translates every bit of this guitar’s acoustic muscle directly to the speakers.
