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.

*** Martin Spruce Availability Update ***
Due to constraints surrounding the procurement of old-growth Sitka spruce, Martin Guitar will allow the use of Lutz spruce in combination with Sitka spruce as needed.
Martin will be utilising both Sitka and Lutz spruce throughout their line of instruments. This will allow Martin to continue to provide the best quality spruce tops while meeting the significant demand for our products.
Lutz spruce is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka spruce and white spruce and grows in the same geographical areas as Sitka spruce. Lutz also has similar tonal and visual characteristics compared to Sitka spruce.
Models affected: All models that currently utilise Sitka spruce.
