Description

The Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany is your brand-new old friend. Inspired by Martin’s legendary flagship models. This acoustic-electric Dreadnought is the real deal. It is delivering bold tone, exceptional playability, and vintage sound and style. It’s not your grandparents’ guitar. Its enduring quality and timeless appeal just might make it your grandkids’ someday.

Central to this instrument is its torrefied solid spruce top

• Using Martin’s own proprietary thermal aging process, this top achieves the seasoned tone and resonance of a well-loved vintage guitar from the very first strum. This premium feature, long reserved for Martin’s Authentic and Modern Deluxe series, is now offered for the first time in the Road Series. The result is a beautifully broken-in sound that feels familiar and inspiring from the first strum.

Paired with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped spruce X bracing

•  The DE Retro Plus Mahogany delivers a robust, full-bodied sound with excellent clarity and projection. The satin Performing Artist neck and its high-performance taper ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience, whether you’re digging in or picking intricate melodies. The full gloss body, aging toner, black binding, and ebony fingerboard and bridge are classic touches, making this guitar as beautiful to look at as it is to play.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics

•  Featuring a built-in tuner and adjustable volume, tone, and phase controls. This guitar is perfectly equipped for the stage and studio.  The DE Retro Plus Mahogany delivers best-in-class quality at an unbeatable value for serious players. Once you pick it up, you won’t be able to put it down. Nothing compares to a Martin.
