The Special Edition 16s were made by Martin Guitars beginning in 1996 with production mostly ending by 2000-2001. This model features extra features such as an abalone pearl rosette, a Style 45 multi-colored back inlay strip, and gold hardware. These are great Martins that won’t break the bank. This SPD-TR sports an Indian Rosewood body and Spruce top.
The SPD-16 series offers a lot of guitar for the money. Solid woods, abalone markers and rosette and gold hardward were all standard. Great tone is standard also. This is a true Martin guitar with the punch and wonderful midrange Martin fans will enjoy. 
This is a great dreadnought for the money. This Special Edition Martin has that vintage look and appears to be a cross between a D-18 and D-28. Pretty darn nice. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
