Martin DC-16E Acoustic Electric Guitar - $1,395 (Boise Bench)

2017 Martin DC-16E with original Martin Hardshell Case.
Excellent condition.
Americana Series appointments; silver binding and orange black and white striped rosette.
Very cool looking.
Fishman Matrix VT Enhance Electronics.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Solid Sycamore back and sides.
This model features a thinner (000 depth) body at 5” deep; I find it a LOT more comfortable to play standing up.
Forward shifted scalloped X bracing.
Frets have been factory plek’d.
This guitar was $2300 new, and when the infrequent example shows up on ebay or Reverb they sell for between $1750-$1950.
When you factor in shipping and tax on top of that… well you get the idea.
I don’t want to ship this, and I'm trying to sell off a few guitars quickly in the hopes of buying a vintage D-18 I have my eye on that won't be available forever so I’m offering a SMOKING LOCAL DEAL on it.
Call or text please, I'm a slow email responder.
$1395 is absolutely as low as I'm willing to go on this, I've dropped the price 2X already.
If it's still up, I still have it.
-Gary Legendary Martin Sound and Feel: This well-established and innovative solid wood 16 Series guitar was originally conceived and developed as an experiment to deliver better sound by using a special combination of Martin's proprietary bracing systems.
The Forward-Shifted X Scalloped bracing, as you'll find on this DC-16E, has become a longtime Martin favorite.
The DC-16E is crafted of premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top, solid sycamore sides and back, and a black ebony fingerboard.
In a dreadnought-sized guitar, this tonewood package delivers huge, yet balanced tone.
Nearly 16 inches wide and five inches deep, the "D" is Martin's largest body, giving the DC-16E one of the biggest voices in the acoustic guitar world.
Take the stage, plug in, and the exquisite Martin tone is flawlessly amplified by the onboard Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics.
The classic sound of a Sitka spruce top: This Martin DC-16E's top is crafted of Sitka spruce.
Its high stiffness combined with the lightweight characteristics of most softwoods, makes it a natural for a high velocity sound.
A strong fundamental-to-overtone ratio gives Sitka spruce a powerful direct tone capable of retaining its clarity even when played forcefully.
