Martin Grand J-16e 12-String Demo and Review
Today we’re taking a look at the new Jumbo 12-String from Martin, the Grand J-16e. With a jumbo sized body and 000 depth, this guitar is deceptively comfortable while still preserving all the grandiose tone of a massive 12-String. Take a look and a listen and let us know what you think!

Hey guys. I am having a concern about the J16. I have been playing on it for about two months now. I love the sound and the electro acoustic system is amazing, but it has no projection. It’s a very low decibel guitare. Every time I jam with people it’s difficult to hear the guitare cause the volume is so low. Does Anybody has the same experience. ? Thank you
This guy knows how to play
Man has the hair of a god
Line them up so we can compare: Eastman AC 630, Guild F 55, a Taylor 12, Gibson J 185, and then play that. Which one actually sounds better? Thank you!
Great guitarists hide defects in design, tone, and harmonics. I just want to hear the guitar. While the songs are great, from the first fret to the last I want to hear scales, slowly … very slowly so I can actually hear it. A great guitarist can make a can with a string in it sound good.
i wonder if the binding will come off ,martins dirty little secret !
I'm not really a twelve string guy…mostly because I don't like wrestling with a guitar to get the sounds out I need. However, after watching you play this instrument, listening to the description and hearing the great tones that came out of this relatively affordable guitar, I am absolutely sold and I am going to purchase this model sometime in the near future (and hide it from the wife LOL). In truth, I love triple O guitars so this 12 string version is a no brainer. One last thing…
I have many Taylors, and I honestly love them all but IMO the Hotel California tone in this 12 string guitar has got them beat for 60's and 70's style music. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.
Fine demo of a sweet sounding 12 ! I'm saving up for one of these beasts !!
Fantastic musician.. every 12 string guitar he plays sounds heavenly
is this US made?
It's great how you addressed the Taylor GA shape.
This 12 sounds more familiar for a reason.
Even my Martin DX1 sounds nice and full after all these years.
Great demo and wonderful playing Thanks
Gotta have one of these muthers
Thanks for the in depth video. I finally decided to order one a couple weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. It is set up great for playability, plenty of big volume, and articulate.
You should compare that to a Guild F512
I like it chicks dig a big jumbo 12 string
Excellent audio quality on the guitar, SUPER HELPFUL
Big body (Martin) vs. small body (Taylor) 12 string analogy: who ever said, “my car has too much horsepower”…
As soon as they have one in stock I'm heading to San Antonio to pick one of these up.
I played one of these a couple of days ago when auditioning some acoustics. It is a fantastic guitar with a superb low action, and great playability. I was totally smitten with it, but I had gone into the store to buy a 6 string that I could walk around with and play outdoors. So this guitar didn’t exactly meet my brief, but,boy I was sorely tempted. I ended up buying a Martin D-X2E, and also picked up an Ovation 12 to cure
my itch for a 12 stringer. Hearing you play this instrument is bringing it all back to me. I may just have to buy one of these a year or two down the line. Nice review, and brilliant playing. Thank you.
Holy cow, what tone and fantastic playing, Cooper. The 000 depth reminds me of the mini-jumbos Seagull used to make, which were jumbo shaped, slightly bigger than a dreadnought but with a slim body.
I like it. It doesn't have that bass boom that typical (Martin) Dreadnought /Jumbos have. But what I really want is a Martin OM-12 with a traditional-size OM body.
sounds like there's a flanger on it. love.
Just bought mine yesterday at L&M in Canada. Thank you Cooper for your review which made me aware of this beautiful guitar to try out. ????
Cooper could play a 50$ Amazon guitar and id buy it..????
So curious – what is the song you are playing between 3:30 and 5:00 minutes?
My goodness thats just fire Cooper. You made that Jumbo smokin'.
Wow, best review of a 12 Ive ever seen
Wow what a tone. The playing is top notch!!
More strings than most, more hair than everyone……Cooper rocks ????????
Thanks for showing us how it sounds in the hands of a capable player.
Flawless.
Shallow is the word you're looking for ????
Holy crap that sounds amazing. I’m way too short for a jumbo though ????
The current 16 series Martins are a real value, and this one sounds great! Nice demo Cooper.
Man sounds amazing but looks so ugly
