About This Guitar
Martin 000E Retro Plus Acoustic Electric Guitar
The Martin 000E Retro Plus acoustic‑electric guitar blends vintage aesthetics with modern craftsmanship, making it a standout in the Martin Road Series.
Featuring a torrefied solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this 000-size model delivers a rich, seasoned tone that resonates like a well-aged instrument from the very first strum.
The scalloped spruce X‑bracing enhances sustain and clarity, while the compact 24.9″ scale and Performing Artist neck ensure comfortable playability, which is ideal for fingerstyle, singer/songwriter work, or extended gigging sessions.
Hand‑selected tonewoods, ebony fingerboard and bridge, faux‑tortoise pickguard, and nickel open‑gear tuners evoke Martin’s classic D‑18 lineage, bringing timeless Style 18 appointments to a more accessible price point in the Road Series.
Equipped with Martin’s E‑1 electronics system, the 000E Retro Plus goes straight from studio to stage with onboard tuner, tone and phase controls, and reliable undersaddle pickup - built for tour‑ready performance and seamless amplification.
With its Gloss Aging Toner finish, this guitar not only sounds vintage - it looks the part too, with a beautifully “broken‑in” aesthetic that belies its brand‑new construction.
