Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Torrefied Spruce Top | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany is a premium acoustic-electric guitar crafted with Martin's legendary quality and innovative design. Featuring a torrefied solid spruce top that delivers the rich, broken-in tone of a vintage instrument from the first strum, this guitar produces balanced, warm acoustic sound with impressive projection. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking authentic Martin craftsmanship and tone at an accessible price point.
Product Overview
The 000E Retro Plus Mahogany showcases exceptional construction with its torrefied solid spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, creating a balanced tonal palette with warm midrange presence and articulate highs. The thermal aging process of the torrefied top—previously reserved for Martin's high-end Authentic and Modern Deluxe series—enhances stability and resonance for that coveted vintage sound right out of the case.
The comfortable Performing Artist neck profile with a High-Performance taper offers exceptional playability, while the ebony fingerboard provides smooth, responsive action across all 20 frets. The 000-14 fret body size strikes the perfect balance between comfort and projection, making it ideal for both fingerstyle and strumming techniques.
Equipped with Martin E1 electronics featuring a built-in tuner and intuitive controls, this guitar transitions seamlessly from practice room to stage. The detailed appointments, including Old Style 18 Boltaron rosette and faux abalone inlays, provide classic Martin aesthetic touches that honor the company's rich heritage while incorporating modern innovations.
