Martin's popular StreetMaster© finish was introduced to their solid mahogany 15 Series in 2017, as a respectful nod to working guitarists. Today, Martin has applied this beautiful distressed finish to East Indian Rosewood and Red Spruce for the first time, and it's a great addition to our 16 Series. The Red Spruce top also includes our exclusive Vintage Tone System© (VTS), which ages wood to achieve a truly retro tone that you would normally have to wait decades to appreciate. If you like the StreetMaster finish, but want the bigger, bassier sound you get with the coveted East Indian Rosewood and Red Spruce, this is the guitar for you. Whether your next gig is at the historic Ryman Auditorium or you're spending a day playing on the street corner in the big city, the StreetMaster gives you the look and feel of a well-worn instrument, with a warranty limited lifetime and the superb playing quality of a new guitar. This model comes with a soft case, which makes it easy to carry on the street!
