Get classic Martin tone in a comfortable, do-it-all body size with the Martin 000-12E Retro Acoustic-Electric Guitar, available at Irvine Art and Music. With its balanced 000 body shape and Aging Toner gloss finish, this model is a great fit for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, and strummers who want clear note separation without the bigger feel of a dreadnought.

The 000-12E Retro pairs a solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides for a clear, responsive voice with warm mids, supported by scalloped X-bracing for added volume and touch sensitivity. Vintage-inspired Style 18 details keep the look classic, while Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make it easy to plug in for rehearsal, recording, and live performance.
