This now well-established line of guitars was originally conceived my Martin to deliver the best possible sound and feel at the lowest cost possible by using a special combination of Martin's propriety bracing systems. With its innovative 'Hybrid' x bracing, this Martin D-16RGT guitar is now the favourite for players seeking that great sound and good looks in a less expensive guitar.
Prominent features for the D 16RGT include solid wood body, patented neck mortise, enhanced playability and Martin quality craftmanship.
