Description
Martin DSS-16E, Ebony Fingerboard, Black Smoke
~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
The DSS-16E Black Smoke introduces a bold new voice to the refreshed 16 Series—pairing standout style with warm, vintage-inspired tone. Its gloss spruce top in a striking Black Smoke finish is matched with satin solid mahogany back and sides for punchy midrange, strong treble response, and a focused low end that sits well in any mix. The slope-shoulder Dreadnought body shape delivers a woody, intimate tone—now paired for the first time with a short 24.9" scale length for a relaxed feel that complements its natural warmth. A grained ivoroid pickguard adds a distinctive visual touch, while forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and bass response. L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make it ready for the stage. Strung with all-new Martin Era™ Legacy Edition strings developed alongside the refreshed 16 Series, it’s built to command the room.
We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar. Our world-class techs will dial in your guitar to make sure the playability is maximized on your new Martin!
