The Martin J-16E in 1935 Burst combines the bold presence of a Jumbo body with an elegant vintage-inspired aesthetic. Its Spruce top features a Gloss finish in a rich 1935 Burst, complemented by Black Stripe top inlay, Antique White binding, a custom multi-stripe rosette, and a Faux Tortoise pickguard. The J 14-Fret body is crafted with East Indian Rosewood back and sides, finished in Satin with a Natural color, while the X-Brace pattern with scalloped Spruce braces provides a resonant foundation with warmth, depth, and impressive projection. Weighing 4 lbs 9 oz, it offers substantial acoustic presence while remaining comfortable to play.
The Select Hardwood neck features a Satin finish in Dark Mahogany and a comfortable Modified Low Oval profile with Martin's High-Performance Taper. Its 25.4" scale length, 1 3/4" Bone nut, and 2 1/8" fingerboard width at the 12th fret create a familiar and versatile playing feel. The Ebony fingerboard features Style 28 Mother of Pearl inlays and 20 total frets, with the neck joining the body at the 14th fret. An Antique White heelcap and white side dots provide understated traditional details, while the East Indian Rosewood headplate and Script Old Style Overlay logo complete the classic Martin aesthetic.
The Ebony Modern Straightline bridge features a drop-in TUSQ saddle with a 16" saddle radius and 2 5/32" string spacing for a precise and responsive playing experience. Black Polymer bridge pins with Abalone dots add a subtle decorative touch, while Nickel Open Gear tuning machines with Butterbean knobs provide dependable tuning stability and timeless style. Every appointment has been carefully chosen to complement the guitar's warm 1935 Burst finish and traditional character.
For amplified performance, the J-16E is equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element pickup system, offering a natural and responsive amplified voice while preserving the character of the acoustic instrument. The combination of Spruce, East Indian Rosewood, scalloped X-bracing, and Ebony appointments gives this Jumbo a rich, balanced voice with clarity and projection. Supplied with its Softshell Case, the Martin J-16E in 1935 Burst is a versatile and beautifully appointed acoustic that feels equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in the hands of a dedicated player.
