Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo

The Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo blends classic 28-style inspiration with modern craftsmanship to deliver a powerful, resonant dreadnought designed for players who need tone, comfort, and stage-ready performance. Its torrefied spruce top is aged for an instantly open, broken-in character, offering bold projection and rich sustain right out of the case. Paired with solid granadillo back and sides, the guitar delivers deep, focused bass, articulate mids, and a clear, ringing high end—an ideal match for strummers, flatpickers, and singer-songwriters.

A Performing Artist neck profile and ebony fingerboard add modern playability, while scalloped X-bracing enhances dynamic nuance. Finished with Style 28 details and onboard LR Baggs Element electronics, the DE Retro Plus Granadillo offers timeless Martin character with the reliability and versatility needed for live performance or studio work.
