Martin 00L-16E Blue Denim Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Classic Martin Craftsmanship. Bold New Style.

The Martin 00L-16E Blue Denim Acoustic-Electric Guitar brings a fresh personality to Martin's celebrated 16 Series, combining premium all-solid-wood construction, a distinctive Blue Denim finish, and the exceptional tone and playability that have made Martin guitars legendary.

New for 2026, this eye-catching acoustic-electric features a compact sloped-shoulder 00 body, a solid spruce top, and solid mahogany back and sides. The result is a beautifully balanced acoustic voice with warm midrange, articulate highs, and impressive projection for its comfortable size.

Whether you're a fingerstyle player, singer-songwriter, or performing musician, the 00L-16E delivers a versatile playing experience with unmistakable Martin character.

Solid Spruce and Mahogany – Warm, Expressive Tone

At the heart of the Martin 00L-16E is a solid spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, delivering the clarity, warmth, and dynamic response players expect from a premium American-made acoustic guitar.

The sloped-shoulder 00 body offers a focused, woody voice with strong midrange presence and a controlled low end. Its compact proportions make it exceptionally comfortable for extended playing sessions, while the responsive construction provides impressive volume and sustain.

Martin's scalloped X-bracing allows the spruce top to resonate freely, enhancing tonal richness and sensitivity across a wide range of playing styles.

From delicate fingerpicked melodies to expressive rhythm work, this guitar delivers excellent articulation and musical depth.

Blue Denim Finish – A Modern Take on Martin Tradition

The standout feature of this model is its striking Blue Denim gloss top finish, giving the traditional Martin acoustic a distinctive contemporary appearance.

The vibrant blue spruce top contrasts beautifully with the natural satin-finished mahogany back and sides, creating a look that is both modern and timeless.

Antique white binding, a custom multi-stripe rosette, and a vintage-inspired pickguard complete the design, blending familiar Martin craftsmanship with bold new styling.

Comfortable Neck and Premium Appointments

The Martin 00L-16E features a Modified Low Oval neck profile with High-Performance Taper, providing a smooth, comfortable playing feel for both traditional acoustic players and musicians transitioning from electric guitar.

Its shorter 24.9-inch scale length offers a slightly softer string feel, making chord changes, fingerstyle techniques, and expressive bends easier to execute.

A 1 3/4-inch bone nut, ebony fingerboard, and ebony bridge add to the instrument's refined feel and premium construction.

Nickel open-gear tuning machines with butterbean buttons complete the classic Martin aesthetic.
