The gorgeous D-16RGT is a fine example of a Martin dreadnought acoustic guitar, bringing classic looks and classic tone to fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and strummers alike. The D-16RGT shines when used in the studio, as the solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides deliver a tried-and-true prominent acoustic voice for your recordings. Other important features on the D-16RGT include its comfortable solid Spanish cedar neck and black Micarta fingerboard.

The D-16RGT is stunning in her appearance, a true work of art and love. The sound is like none I have ever experienced from a "Flat Top Box" The tone quality is so rich and deep that it is exciting just to play an open "D" cord with the bass "E" tuned to a "D" and listen to the music. ( "I could her Don Williams or the Late Great Waylon singing Amanda...) I have always wanted to have a Martin "Flat Top Box" and can only tell ya'all go for it. The D-16 RGT is well worth the investment and you will be amazed by the over all quality of this insturment. close [-]
