MARTIN J12-16GT Details
Martin J12-16GT Jumbo
Acoustic
Martin J12-16GT From the well-established and innovative all
solid wood ‘16 Series’ which was originally conceived and developed as an
experiment in delivering better sound without higher cost by using a
combination of our proprietary bracing systems, called ‘Hybrid’ X-bracing, on a
solid wood instrument. Additional features for the 12-String J12-16GT include a
solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, bold herringbone rosette, and
finished with a gloss top, and satin back and sides.

I played a D-12-20 for many years on and off the road ..drugies stole it and I replaced it with the J-12-16gt .The 16-gt has a very strong bass responce but is a little shy on the trebble.I also play a HD-28 and I will tell you ..you can play a Martin as hard as you wish all night long. It will NOT fail you ...just replace your strings each week..and you can set in with the best of them. Dont be scared of it ......it will blow away 99 of all the rest.
