Hurricane-force projection and volume.

Martin has offered several large soundhole model guitars in the past but none as affordable as the herringbone acoustic HD-16R LSH. Constructed with a 16 Series mortise and tenon neck joint, the HD-16R LSH offers you a guitar with a full-gloss lacquered body, all solid-wood construction and hybrid scalloped bracing, resulting in a powerfully deep, yet balanced tonality.

Beautiful Guitar

I just love this guitar. I’ve had it for several months now and I feel great every time I open the case. The setup was exquisite right out of the box and feels even better now. I was leery of ordering a $1900 guitar online, and I looked hard for a flaw in the instrument that would cause me to send it back. I couldn’t find the smallest scratch or production error. Best of all, this box BOOMS with sound! I’ve never played a louder dreadnaught, and the tone is just beautiful – deep bass and very smooth mid-to-high range. I can’t wait to hear this guitar after it has aged a decade or two.

I purchased my Martin HD-16R LSH in June of '07. Insignificant. The tone is incredible. The set-up, was what I expected. I had been in the market for a new accoustic for 3 years. I played dozens of guitars...including Martins. Finally, I saw the HD-16R LSH liked the looks and took a chance. If I didn't like it I could return it. Well, that's it. I know longer need an accoustic guitar...EVER! I found my mate. Thanks Martin. Thanks Musician's Friend.

I went into the guitar store to check out the 314 and 414 taylors, but I saw this beauty in the corner of my eye so I had to pick it up. The first note resonated throughout the room as loud as the amped taylor. The sustain was just magnificent. No electronics, but it sounds so good and so beautiful, a mic will certainly do.

Played this guitar two weeks ago and again last week and today. I am definately going to purchase it. I've played guitar for about 35 years and have tried most varities of acoustics, electrics and everything in between. This is the best sounding guitar I have ever heard. Simple affordable beauty. BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. Try one on and you'll most likely agree. well... maybe. Every one has one... opinion that is. I will own one very soon. If you are shopping for something new, check it out.
