Martin 00L-16E Blue Denim Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Spruce/Mahogany

A cool, fresh fit that feels like home, the Martin 00L-16E Blue Denim is a sleek, comfortable smaller-bodied acoustic for anywhere and everywhere you need it. The perfect couch, studio, or stage guitar, this 00L-16E slips smoothly under the arm for a musical experience to feel right just about anywhere.

In their refreshed 16 Series, Martin treats a number of its classic models to a fresh coat of paint – both literally and figuratively. New, musical features and functions move inside and out of these models for a refreshing take on Martin musicality. With this model, everything starts with a sloped shoulder 00L body brought together from spruce and mahogany. This classic combo of Martin tonewoods produces the kind of masterful balance of brightness and bass you've come to know and love from Martins – no matter their size. Gloss top and satin back and sides finishes make for a unique look and feel for this guitar alongside its Blue Denim top color. On the inside, scalloped spruce braces in an X-Brace pattern enhance projection and sustain for a smaller-sized guitar that punches well above its weight class.

From here, this 00L-16E brings on a select hardwood neck in a Modified Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper. This slimmer, smoother neck allows for quick moves from higher to lower registers and everywhere in between with a satin finish of its own. Matching up, an ebony fingerboard lays out with twenty frets and 1955 Style 18 Mother of Pearl inlays for an effortless feel on the fingertips.

Backing up this whole rodeo, Martin treats this 16 Series to a number of fine hardware specifications. For one, an ebony Modern Straightline bridge lands at the base of the scale length with a drop-in TUSQ saddle for a solid transfer of motion string-to-body. For another, this 00L-16E's headstock is met with a bone nut and nickel open gear tuning machines. Totally, this guitar's hardware backs up performance with onboard L.R. Baggs Element electronics to bring its tones directly to the stage. Everything travels in style and comfort with an included Martin soft shell case.

A homey acoustic to fit like an old pair of jeans, this Martin 00L-16E brings it all back time after time.
