Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany

Overview

The Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany delivers a balanced, articulate voice in a comfortable 000-14 fret body, making it well-suited for both fingerstyle and light-to-medium strumming. Its torrefied spruce top provides a naturally aged response with enhanced resonance and openness, giving it a played-in character right from the start. Paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the tone is focused and warm with clear mids and controlled low end.

As part of the Road Series, this model brings premium features into a more accessible platform. The Performing Artist neck profile with high-performance taper offers a smooth, fast feel, while the LR Baggs Element electronics provide a reliable, natural-sounding amplified tone. It’s a practical, versatile instrument designed for consistent performance whether at home, in the studio, or on stage.
