PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Featuring a polished gloss top, a East-Indian rosewood body, a cutaway 000 shape, and onboard Aura electronics for pristine sound both acoustically and plugged-in. East-Indian rosewood is a very resonant wood, producing a deep, warm, projective bass response. All 16-Series Martins feature a hybrid A-frame bracing pattern that combines patented A-bracing with a modified version of scalloped X-bracing.

Aura System
Now you can bring the studio-quality sound of your Martin guitar to the stage in an onboard format with the Martin /Fishman Onboard Aura TMSystem. This onboard version of Fishman's groundbreaking new Aura Acoustic Imaging Blender harnesses the power of Fishman's proprietary Acoustic Sound Imaging technology and builds it into your Martin. The Onboard Aura features six customized Aura Acoustic Sound Images, specially created for and by Martin, which can be blended with the Martin Gold+Plus pickup signal for unequalled studio-quality reproduction of the world-renowned Martin acoustic tone. These Acoustic Sound Images are derived from real studio recordings of each specific Martin Aura model being played into a variety of high-end condenser microphones. Other Onboard Aura features include digital and fully programmable equalization, feedback control, and a chromatic tuner.
