The J-16E Cream introduces a bold new voice to the refreshed 16 Series — pairing standout style with powerful projection. Its gloss spruce top in a striking Cream finish is matched with satin solid East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep bass, rich overtones, and articulate highs that cut through the mix with clarity. The jumbo body size delivers thunderous volume with sparkling top-end response—ideal for strummers, rhythm players, and anyone who wants a commanding stage presence. Multi-stripe binding on the top adds a distinctive visual touch, while scalloped "X"-bracing enhances sustain and resonance for a full, dynamic voice. L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make it ready for live performance or recording. Strung with all-new Martin Era™ Legacy Edition strings developed alongside the refreshed 16 Series, it’s built to command the room.
