The Martin DSS-16E 1935 Burst introduces a bold new voice to the refreshed 16 Series, pairing standout style with a warm, vintage-inspired tone. Its gloss spruce top in a striking 1935 Burst finish is matched with satin solid mahogany back and sides for punchy midrange, strong treble response, and a focused low end that sits well in any mix.

The slope-shoulder Dreadnought body shape delivers a woody, intimate tone and is paired with a short 24.9" scale length for a relaxed playing feel that complements its natural warmth. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and bass response, giving the DSS-16E a responsive and expressive acoustic voice.

L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make the DSS-16E 1935 Burst ready for the stage, while its distinctive finish and classic-inspired appointments give it plenty of visual character. Whether you're strumming, songwriting, recording, or performing live, this Martin acoustic-electric delivers a comfortable playing experience and versatile tone at Sky Music Australia.
