The 000-16 StreetMaster brings Adirondack spruce to the 16 Series
First use of VTS on an “affordable” Martin guitar
Specs of the 000-16 StreetMaster include: Auditorium 000 size; all-solid tonewoods including Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack spruce soundboard with Vintage Tone System torrefaction, and 5/16″ scalloped braces; short-scale High Performance neck with Modified Low Oval profile; Indian rosewood fingerboard with 1-3/4″ width at nut, 2-1/8th at 12th fret, short pattern Diamond and Squares position markers; Indian rosewood bridge with 2-5/32″ string spacing at the bone saddle; StreetMaster distressed satin finish; open gear Golden Age Relic tuning machines with cream buttons; soft shell case.
“The VTS Adirondack spruce helps make the 000-16 StreetMaster sound bright and expressive to the point of effervescent, yet it has a warm heart, thanks to the rosewood back and sides.”
Love this guitar! It is my first Martin and choose it over the 000 18 and 000 17WS.
Great guitar timbre colours and flavors! Waiting for 000-16 Streetmaster vs 000-28 vs GPC-16E. I own both 000-16 streetmaster and 0-18. I love them both.
