The Martin 000-10E Retro Sapele is a time-tested tool designed for players who value tone, feel, and simplicity. With a solid sapele top, back, and sides, and scalloped X-bracing, it delivers punchy mids and a warm, balanced voice that suits any style. The satin finish, select hardwood fingerboard with diamond-and-square inlays, and vintage-style open gear tuners evoke a stripped-down, classic Style 15 aesthetic. A Performing Artist neck profile ensures modern comfort and playability, while the select hardwood bridge and ebony bridge pins round out the details. With E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, this guitar is ready to do the job—whatever your road looks like, and wherever it takes you next.
