The Martin 000-10E Retro is a time-tested tool built for the long haul. With a solid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing, it delivers punchy mids, crisp trebles, and a clear, balanced voice across all six strings. The satin finish, understated black binding, and vintage-style open gear tuners nod to classic Martin looks, while the Performing Artist neck profile offers modern comfort and playability. Add in versatile E1 electronics with a built-in tuner and a softshell case, and you’ve got a guitar ready for your next session, song, or stage. Whether you're just getting started or honing your craft, the 000-10E Retro proves you don’t have to wait to play a Martin.
