Martin D-16E Rosewood Review

Great Guitar

I was looking at getting a D-28 but found this. Its pretty much a thinner D-28,. Extremely comfortable to play. Don't let the 000 body fool you. It has clean clear tone and a nice bottom end and can get plenty loud if you want to. Its with out a doubt my favorite acoustic I've ever had and I now play it more than any guitar I own. I would recommend a hard case instead of the gig… read more bag Martin includes, at this price point a hard case should have been included by Martin. Not a fan of using a gig bag on an $ guitar. For reference the Martin C640 case is a perfect snug fit. The gator case is way to loose. This is a guitar to pass down as a family heir loom in years to come.

Fantastic Instrument with Brilliant Customer Service

Grant Vitek, my sales engineer, walked me through every step of the buying process for this Martin. I've never had a USA acoustic, let alone a good acoustic. I went with Sweetwater because of Grant's attention to my questions, his recommendations, and his suggestions. Arrived with absolutely no issues, and played beautifully right out of the box (24 hours later!). Rich and resonant… read more and easy to play. I am really happy to finally have a quality acoustic guitar, and I felt reassured that it would arrive with no issues because of Sweetwater's inspection and Grant's professionalism. Thank you Grant and Sweetwater for making this a smooth, stress-free experience.

Martin D-16E Rosewood

This is my first USA made Martin guitar and I am not disappointed. The craftsmanship and playability is superb. The dreadnought size with the 000 depth is very comfortable to play. Looks and sounds fantastic. Purchasing from Sweetwater was a great experience. Enjoyed being able to view pictures of the various serial numbers available and select the guitar I wanted. Always concerned… read more with shipping but the guitar arrived in 2 days securely packaged in a double box. Right after I placed my order my sound engineer, Justin, called to review the order with me, then followed up by sending me a set of photos of my guitar, a nice touch.

Outstanding customer service!

My second guitar from sweetwater both 100% satisfied. I Highly recommend Josh Kattner, hes an amazing sales engineer. He checks on you and your gear. Just like buying a guitar and gaining another friend. As soon as I made the deal my guitar was shipped and on the way. The guitar I originally like is at musicians friend, but their customer service is not even close to sweetwater.… read more Thanks for staying in business I will buy all my gears here and nowhere else.

Outstanding

Was originally thinking of getting a D-28 but this is so comfortable being 000 depth and just sounds fantastic for a lot less. Still made in the US which is always great. It has plenty of bass really but it’s not as boomy as a standard dreadnought and with that comes a bit more clarity which I love. It’s super comfortable to play and if you need to plug it in it’s very easy.… read more Really happy with this guitar. Looks beautiful too. Looking forward to hearing it break in over the next few years.
