Martin
Premium Tonewoods for Classic, Balanced Acoustic Tone
Top: Solid Sitka Spruce
Sitka spruce offers clear note articulation, strong projection and a lively dynamic response that works equally well for fingerstyle and strummed chords, giving the 000-10E Retro a balanced and versatile voice.
Back & Sides: Solid Sapele
Sapele back and sides add warmth and a rich midrange character, complementing the spruce top with a well-rounded tonal palette and solid low-end presence.
Together, these woods provide a classic Martin tone, clear and balanced across the frequency spectrum, with enough soul for songwriting, rehearsals, and relaxed playing.
Elegant Craftsmanship & Detailing
Traditional Martin appointments and refined details give the 000-10E Retro an understated yet classic aesthetic:
-
Rosette: Single-ring fiber rosette for a clean, timeless appearance.
-
Binding: Black body binding that frames the top with a subtle, vintage-inspired style.
-
Pickguard: Faux tortoise pickguard protects the spruce top without detracting from the natural wood look.
-
Finish: Satin finish on top, back and sides enhances resonance and gives the guitar an easy-to-play feel.
Neck, Feel & Hardware
-
Neck: Select hardwood neck with the Performing Artist (PA) profile and High-Performance Taper for comfortable, modern playability.
-
Fingerboard: Ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability and durability.
-
Nut Width: 1 3/4″ (≈ 44.5 mm), a classic dreadnought-style width that balances chordal and single-note work.
-
Scale Length: 24.9″, slightly shorter than many full-size acoustics, making fretting and bending easier while keeping balanced tension.
-
Tuners: Nickel open-gear tuners, vintage styling with reliable tuning stability.
-
Bracing: Scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and dynamics without overwhelming the natural core tone.
Electronics & Features
-
Electronics: Martin E1 electronics system includes volume, tone, phase and a built-in tuner, making the guitar stage- and studio-ready with easy control over amplified sound.
Protection & Case
Each 000-10E Retro is supplied with a softshell case (gig bag) that protects the instrument while keeping weight manageable for transport and practice.
