Overview

A versatile acoustic-electric with slim neck and onboard electronics for amplified control.

The Martin J-16E 12-string acoustic-electric guitar provides an inspiring playing experience. Handcrafted by master luthiers with premium tonewoods, this jumbo model combines projection and balanced tone with comfort. At its heart is a resonant spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep bass and rich overtones. Together, with the guitar's High-Performance neck and ebony fingerboard, the tonewoods provide unparalleled playability and sound.

Tried-and-True Tonewoods Shape Your Sound

The spruce top on the J-16E 12-string resonates freely, producing articulate highs and open mids. When paired with the East Indian rosewood back and sides, the spruce top helps generate a balanced and nuanced tone. Rosewood backs the spruce with warmth and low-end depth. Together, these tonewoods produce the balanced, nuanced sound Martin is famous for. 

High-Performance Neck for Easy Playing

The J-16E 12-string acoustic-electric guitar's neck is designed for effortless fretting across the 25.4" scale length. Its tapered profile and ebony fingerboard create a smooth playing surface. Dot inlays help guide your fingers to each note.

Onboard Electronics Shape Your Plugged-In Sound

With the J-16E 12-string's Martin E1 electronics, you have total control over your amplified tone. Onboard volume, tone and phase controls allow precise sound shaping for any venue. The built-in chromatic tuner ensures you always sound your best. Whether at home, on stage or in the studio, the J-16E 12-string's pickup system lets your guitar's natural acoustic voice shine through.
