Martin 00016-STREETMASTER Acoustic Guitar with Gig Bag

In 2017, Martin introduced its popular StreetMaster® finish to the solid mahogany 15 Series, honoring working musicians. Now, for the first time, this beautifully distressed finish is applied to East Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce in the 16 Series. The Adirondack spruce top features the proprietary VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS), aging the wood to deliver a truly vintage tone that usually takes decades to achieve. If you love the StreetMaster finish and desire the bigger, bassier sound of East Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce, this guitar is perfect for you. Whether you're performing at the historic Ryman Auditorium or busking in the city, the StreetMaster gives you the look and feel of a well - worn instrument, backed by a limited lifetime warranty and the great playability of a new guitar. This model comes with a soft - shell case, making it street - ready! Recommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - Light. Body Size: 000 - 14 Fret.
