Martin 000-10E Retro

The Martin 000-10E Retro delivers a balanced, articulate voice in a comfortable 000 body shape, blending warm midrange, crisp trebles, and clear note separation. With a solid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing, it offers a responsive feel suited for fingerstyle, strumming, or hybrid playing. The satin finish, aging toner top, and understated black binding give it an unfussy, classic look, while vintage-style open-gear tuners nod to traditional Martin aesthetics.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the 000-10E Retro is ready for stage, studio, or daily practice. Comfortable ergonomics—thanks in part to the Performing Artist neck profile—make it a welcoming choice for developing players and seasoned musicians alike.
