Martin 000-16 Streetmaster Acoustic Guitar New

From the front this looks just like a 000-15 Streetmaster, but look again and it’s a lot more. Currently the retail crew’s “best deal” favorite, this is a 16 Series, not a 15, and has an Adirondack spruce top AND Indian rosewood back and sides. The finish is minimal, with the stain on the top partially rubbed off to simulate wear but there are no added nicks, dings, scratches, or that kind of stuff done to make it look like somebody knocked it around. Do the math, you get an Adirondack spruce top and rosewood back and sides for only 500 bucks more than the regular 000-15 Streetmaster. No wonder the guys up front give this a best-deal rating.
