Martin D-13E Retro Walnut

Overview

The Martin D-13E Retro Walnut delivers upgraded tone and refined aesthetics within the Road Series lineup. A solid spruce top paired with solid black walnut back and sides produces a clear, balanced voice with strong bass response and articulate highs. Walnut provides harmonic fullness and tonal complexity similar to traditional rosewood but with its own warm character.

Built for modern players, the D-13E Retro includes a Performing Artist neck for smooth playability, scalloped X-bracing for projection, and onboard Martin E1 electronics for dependable amplified performance. With Style 28-inspired appointments and a softshell case, this model offers a classic look with contemporary reliability.
