Meet your new best friend. The Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany is a true Martin—an authentic guitar that isn’t your grandparents’ model, but just might become your grandchildren’s one day. Inspired by our legendary Style 18 flagship models, this 000 electro-acoustic blends balanced tone and iconic design with state-of-the-art craftsmanship. Its solid torrefied spruce top is thermally aged for increased resonance and a beautifully aged sound, delivering the rich, broken-in tone of a vintage instrument from the very first note. This premium feature, long reserved for our Authentic and Modern Deluxe series, is now available for the first time in the Road Series. With solid mahogany back and sides, scalloped spruce X-bracing, a Performing Artist neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge, this guitar has everything you would expect from an acoustic. It even comes equipped with Martin E1 electronics, featuring a built-in tuner and controls for the perfect live sound. Ideal for gigs or for taking your first steps into premium acoustic instruments, this guitar offers best-in-class quality at an unbeatable price for experienced players, and an endless source of inspiration for everyone who buys one. Careful: once you play it, you won't be able to put it down, because nothing beats a Martin.
