The Martin DSS-16E Cherry Cola introduces a bold new voice to the refreshed 16 Series, pairing standout style with warm, vintage-inspired tone. Its gloss spruce top in a striking Black Smoke finish is matched with satin solid mahogany back and sides, delivering punchy midrange, strong treble response and a focused low end that sits naturally in any mix.
The slope-shoulder Dreadnought body delivers a woody, intimate character, while the shorter 24.9" scale length provides a relaxed playing feel that complements the guitar's natural warmth. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and bass response, while the Modified Low Oval neck shape offers comfortable playability. A grained ivoroid pickguard adds a distinctive visual touch to the Black Smoke finish.
L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make the DSS-16E Black Smoke ready for the stage, providing a natural amplified sound that retains its warm acoustic character. With an Ebony fingerboard and bridge, Nickel Open Gear tuning machines and included Softshell case, this Martin combines vintage-inspired tone, comfortable playability and modern acoustic-electric versatility. Sky Music Australia offers the DSS-16E Black Smoke for players seeking a distinctive slope-shoulder Dreadnought with plenty of warmth and projection.

*** 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.
