Martin 000-13E Retro Walnut Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Aging Toner | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Martin Road Series 000-13E Retro Walnut is an acoustic-electric guitar that brings classic Martin craftsmanship and styling into an accessible, performance-ready package built for players of all backgrounds. A solid spruce top paired with solid black walnut back and sides delivers a balanced, well-projected tone with dark, resonant character and exceptional clarity — all amplified faithfully by Martin's E1 electronics system. Available at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls, this 000-body Martin acoustic-electric is an outstanding choice for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone seeking a versatile stage-and-studio instrument at an attainable price.
Product Overview
The 000-13E Retro Walnut is built around a solid spruce top braced with scalloped X-bracing, producing clear, balanced energy with strong projection and a touch-sensitive response that suits both fingerpicking and flatpicking styles. The gloss-finished body is appointed in Martin's Aging Toner stain with double white binding and a Style 28 rosette — a nod to the historic Martin aesthetic that has defined the brand's identity for generations. Crafted in Mexico, this guitar delivers solid-wood tone and classic Martin appointments at a Road Series price point.
Solid black walnut back and sides bring a distinctive tonal character to the mix — darker and more resonant than rosewood, with a smooth low-end warmth, clear mids, and articulate highs that give the 000-13E a uniquely rich voice. The 000 body shape and 24.9-inch scale length keep the instrument comfortable and responsive across a wide range of playing styles, making it equally at home in an intimate acoustic setting or on stage.
The select hardwood PA profile neck joins the body via a mortise and tenon joint for long-term stability and reliable neck angle. A smooth 16-inch radius ebony fingerboard with Style 28 dot inlays across a 14-fret-to-body layout provides an excellent platform for fast, clean fretting, while a TUSQ saddle and Corian nut work together to optimize string response and sustain for both stage and studio use.

Key Features
Solid Spruce Top with Scalloped X-Bracing The solid spruce top responds with clear, balanced energy across the full frequency range, while scalloped X-bracing adds projection and sensitivity — rewarding light fingerpicking and driving flatpicking with equal responsiveness.
Solid Black Walnut Back and Sides Black walnut produces a distinctive tonal profile — deeper and darker than maple, with more warmth and resonance than mahogany — giving the 000-13E a rich, complex voice that stands apart from conventional tonewoods and looks stunning in person.
Martin E1 Electronics The onboard Martin E1 system includes tone and volume controls, a phase-reverse switch, and a built-in tuner, providing everything a performing musician needs for faithful, feedback-resistant amplification in a clean, unobtrusive package.
PA Neck Profile with Mortise and Tenon Joint The comfortably carved PA neck profile paired with a mortise and tenon neck joint creates a stable, precise connection between neck and body, supporting consistent intonation and long-term structural reliability.
Classic Style 28 Appointments Double white binding, a Style 28 rosette, nickel open-gear tuners, and an Aging Toner finish give the 000-13E an authentically vintage Martin appearance that honors the Road Series' commitment to classic aesthetics without inflating the price.
