Martin 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa Satin Sunburst Sapele w/softshell case

The Martin 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa is a Road Series tribute inspired by Joe’s prized pre-war 1937 00-18, designed to capture the look and feel of a well-played vintage instrument in a more accessible format. Its custom sunburst finish recreates the worn aesthetic of the original, giving it a broken-in visual character right out of the case.

Built with a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, this 00 delivers a balanced response with warm lows, punchy mids, and clear trebles. The comfortable body size pairs well with blues, folk, and fingerstyle playing, while scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and sustain. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, it’s equally ready for stage or studio use.
