1992 Martin D-16H92 Guitar With OHSC (D-18V Specs)

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. It has replaced vintage style Grover tuners that need the screws installed, they work fine as is with the nut tightened. The original holes were filled, and it has a lot of saddle left. The action is close to current Martin factory specs,it originally came with an under the saddle pick up, which has been removed. Brand new set of medium gauge GHS strings, it comes with its original Martin case case which is in good condition.
