Martin DC 16GTE Premium

  This well-established and innovative all solid wood 16 Series was originally conceived and developed as an experiment in delivering better sound without higher cost by using a combination of our proprietary bracing systems, called "Hybrid" X-bracing, on a solid wood instrument. Martin succeeded, and the guitar has become a longtime Martin favorite.
