Serious buyers only. You rarely see this guitar put up for sale. Martin made them from 1996-2001, a one time only special run. This guitar is 18 years old, in generally very good condition and well cared for, wonderful tone too! Has some dings and scratches as expected of a vintage guitar. Asking S$1,800 neg. Sms 96577853
http://www.dreamguitars.com/sold-guitars/2077-martin_spd16tr_581077 Pls ignore the "2006" typo as stated in this link. Supposed to be "1996".
"The SPD-16 series offers a lot of guitar for the money. Solid woods, abalone markers and rosette and gold hardward were all standard. Great tone is standard also. This is a true Martin guitar with the punch and wonderful midrange Martin fans will enjoy." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great dreadnought for the money. This Special Edition Martin has that vintage look and appears to be a cross between a D-18 and D-28. Pretty darn nice." - Al Petteway
