Martin 000E Retro Plus Granadillo Road Series, 000-14 Fret, Acoustic Electric

Meet your "brand-new old friend." The Martin 000E Retro Plus Granadillo combines the classic aesthetic of legendary Style 28 models with modern performance features. Part of the 2026 Road Series, this guitar is built for players who want the vintage "broken-in" sound of a pre-war Martin with the reliability and playability of a modern stage instrument.

• Torrefied Spruce Top: The solid spruce top has been thermally aged (torrefied) to mimic the cellular structure of wood that has been drying for decades. This provides an open, resonant, and "broken-in" tone from the very first strum, offering the mellow character usually reserved for vintage instruments.
• Solid Granadillo Back & Sides: A unique tonewood choice that offers a stunning visual alternative to rosewood. Granadillo provides a rich sustain and sparkling highs with a balanced frequency response, ensuring every note in a complex chord rings out with clarity.
• Stage-Ready LR Baggs Electronics: Equipped with the LR Baggs Element system, this guitar is ready for the spotlight. The under-saddle transducer is designed to mirror the soundboard’s actual movement, providing a robust, natural, and dynamic plugged-in tone that avoids the "quack" of lesser pickups.
• High-Performance Playability: Featuring Martin’s Performing Artist (PA) neck profile and High-Performance Taper, the 000E Retro Plus feels fast and comfortable. Whether you are fingerpicking intricate patterns or strumming big open chords, the 1 3/4” nut width and slim taper reduce hand fatigue during long sets.

Tone Tailors Pro Tip: The 000-body size (Auditorium) is the "Goldilocks" of guitar shapes—it's more comfortable than a Dreadnought but packs more punch than a Concert. Because this model features scalloped bracing, it has a surprisingly deep low-end that makes it a perfect companion for singer-songwriters.
