If you’re searching for a stage-ready Martin acoustic-electric guitar that delivers vintage tone, premium craftsmanship, and exceptional comfort, the Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany Road Series is the perfect match. Featuring a torrefied spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a classic 000 body shape, this guitar blends traditional Martin character with modern features for today’s performing artist.

Vintage-Inspired Tone with Torrefied Spruce Top
At the heart of this model is a thermally aged (torrefied) solid spruce top, a feature designed to replicate the tone and responsiveness of a well-loved vintage Martin. Combined with scalloped X-bracing and solid mahogany back and sides, the result is a warm, balanced voice with rich midrange and articulate highs — perfect for fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, and everything in between.

000 Body Shape – Balance, Comfort, and Versatility
Smaller than a dreadnought but big on tone, the Martin 000 body delivers even string-to-string clarity and comfortable playability, especially with its short 24.9" scale length. It’s an ideal acoustic guitar for singer-songwriters, folk players, and those who appreciate versatile acoustic-electric performance without the bulk of a dreadnought.

Martin E1 Electronics – Plug-and-Play Precision
Equipped with the Martin E1 electronics system, the 000E Retro Plus is designed for easy live performance. You get precise volume and tone control, a phase switch to reduce feedback, and a built-in tuner conveniently located inside the soundhole — making it ready for the stage, studio, or spontaneous jam session at a moment’s notice.

High-End Playability and Classic Martin Style
From the select hardwood neck to the ebony fingerboard and bridge, every detail on this guitar is crafted for durability, elegance, and performance. The Performing Artist neck profile with a satin finish ensures smooth, effortless fretting and fast transitions, while the 1.75-inch TUSQ nut offers extra spacing for fingerpicking and chordal clarity.

Finished in Natural Aging Toner with Style 18 appointments, black binding, and a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, the Martin 000E Retro Plus looks as timeless as it sounds.
