{"product_id":"martin-dss-16e","title":"Martin DSS-16E","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DSS-16E is a slope-shoulder dreadnought on a 24.9\" scale, built in Nazareth with a spruce top over mahogany back and sides. It has scalloped Forward Shifted X Brace, a Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper, an ebony board with 1955 Style 18 inlays in mother of pearl, and an L.R. Baggs Element for the amplified sound. Martin voices it warm and punchy, and the shorter scale makes it easier to fret than the 25.4\" dreadnoughts in this catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach finish is a gloss top colour over satin dark mahogany back and sides. The 1935 Burst wears a faux tortoise guard, and Black Smoke and Cherry Cola take grained ivoroid. We would start with the 1935 Burst for the most traditional look of the three, and go to Cherry Cola if you want colour. For the 16 Series in rosewood on a jumbo body, look at the J-16E, and for a cutaway, the GPC-16E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA (Nazareth, Pennsylvania)\u003cbr\u003eBody Size: Sloped Shoulder D 14-Fret\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Simple Dovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Black Stripe\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: Forward Shifted X Brace\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: 1935 Burst (1935 Burst) \/ Black Smoke (Black Smoke) \/ Cherry Cola (Cherry Cola)\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Black Stripe\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Faux Tortoise (1935 Burst) \/ Grained Ivoroid (Black Smoke) \/ Grained Ivoroid (Cherry Cola)\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Custom Multi-Stripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: High-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/8''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: 1955 Style 18\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: White\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Script Old Style Overlay\u003cbr\u003ePleked: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: L.R.
