Question:
..I'd like to get a D-16 type of guitar, but with a gloss finish all around. Does Martin make this, or is there a Taylor equiv (solid construction and gloss all around)?
Answer:
You didn't mention the obvious, price. If your interest in the Martin D-16, is partially because of the sound and quality vs price aspect, there is hope. I have seen a number of dealers who have special ordered the -16 with a full gloss finish. I don't recall exactly which ones, but FQMS and Shoreline are likely suspects. If price isn't an overriding issue, Martin makes lots of nice full gloss guitars, for instance, the D-18.
