All-Solid Tonewoods.

Handcrafted in Nazareth.

Behind the refreshed look is the all-solid-wood tone that defines the 16 Series. Each model is handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, with tonewoods chosen to complement its body shape and voice. Spruce and mahogany give the 00L and slope-shoulder Dreadnought models warmth, clarity, and punch, while East Indian rosewood brings deep bass, rich overtones, and added complexity to the GPC, Jumbo, and Grand J 12-string.
