Exotic tonewoods create superior tone
The Martin 00-16E has a punchy, powerful tone, thanks to a great tonewood combination of granadillo and Sitka spruce. Sometimes known as Amazon rosewood, granadillo hails from Central America. Characterized by its distinctive striped grain and great low-end response, granadillo pairs well with the Sitka spruce top. Sitka spruce is known for its straight grain and punchy, resonant tone. Thanks to the combination of great tonewoods, the Martin 00-16E Granadillo excels in low frequencies without losing its note clarity.
Plek'd for your comfort
If you mention the word Plek around Sweetwater, you'll see tons of ears perk up. Known for producing stellar results, Plek machines use computer-guided fretboard measurements to crown and dress every fret to perfection. In short, a Plek'd guitar feels perfect when you're playing. In addition to increasing playing comfort, getting a guitar Plek'd increases the clarity of your notes and makes sure your sound won't suffer from any buzzing. By running every guitar through their Plek machines, Martin makes sure that your playing experience comes first.
Fishman electronics reproduce accurate tones
