This is a tremendous sounding and lightweight 1992 Martin D-16H 92. In my opinion, these are really sleeper guitars and just as good as any forward shifted prewar D-18 style guitar. The Martin D16H was built from 1991 to 1993, and sought to combine vintage D-18 elements with modern neck profiles and led to the D-18V models. Relatively rare, the Martin D16H is one of the hidden gems from the Martin line. Lightweight and built as well as the other Dreadnought models and like the D-18, the D16H features a Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck. Bracing for the top uses a 1930’s forward shifted, scalloped model. The bridge and unbound fingerboard are Indian Rosewood. The back received a Herringbone center strip, and a Herringbone ring around the soundhole. It looks a lot like a D-18.
This Martin D16H dates to 1992 – in fact the neck block is stamped ‘D16 H 92’ and was built at the Martin shop in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It’s in overall good condition with some wear. Fret wear is moderate, and there are a few small dents and dings around the guitar. One very small area of binding that needs to be reglued. I will address that if the guitar does not sell soon, or the buyer can have it done. It has replaced tuners,The original holes were filled, and it has a lot of saddle left. I believe the action could come down, and I do not believe it needs a neck set in my opinion. it originally came with a under the saddle pick up, which has been removed. Brand new set of medium gauge Diaddario EJ-12, it comes with its original Martin case case which is in good condition.
