Believe in Music Week, including a new twelve-string and two guitars topped with ziricote veneers.

Grand J-16E 12-String

GPC-13E Ziricote

Lists for $1,299.

D-13E Ziricote

If the ziricote veneer construction of the GPC-13E Ziricote intrigued you, but you prefer non-cutaway acoustics, the D-13E Ziricote is for you. Listing for a similar price, Its fitted with the same Fishman MX-T electronics and soundhole tuner as its GPC-13E Ziricote sibling.

Lists for $1,249.

DJR-10E StreetMaster

This guitar features a slightly distressed finish across its smaller take on the Dreadnought body shape for a ‘worn-in’ look and feel. Its body is also thinner than a normal Dreadnought’s, and its neck is Martin’s own High-Performance Neck Taper shape. It’s packed with a set of Fishman Sonitone electronics.

Lists for $699.
