Product Description
The Martin 000-10E Retro Left Handed is a no-nonsense electro acoustic built for players who care about feel, tone and reliability above all else. With its all-solid sapele construction, comfortable 000 body and modern Performing Artist neck, it delivers a warm, punchy and balanced sound that works just as well for fingerstyle as it does for strumming. Add in simple, workhorse-ready E1 electronics with a built-in tuner, and you have a left handed stage and studio companion that is ready to go wherever the music takes you.
Visually, the 000-10E Retro keeps things understated and classic, with a Dark Mahogany satin finish, faux tortoise pickguard and diamond-and-square fingerboard inlays nodding to Martin’s vintage Style 15 heritage. Under the hood, scalloped X-bracing and quality materials like a Tusq saddle and ebony bridge pins ensure that this stripped-back aesthetic is matched by a responsive, musical voice and rock-solid tuning stability.
All-Solid Sapele Construction
With a solid sapele top, back and sides, the 000-10E Retro delivers a focused, mid-forward tone with plenty of warmth and clarity. Sapele’s natural balance makes it a superb all-rounder, handling delicate fingerpicking, flatpicking and heavier strumming with equal confidence. The all-solid build also means the guitar will open up and become even more resonant the more you play it.
Comfortable 000 Body and Performing Artist Neck
The 000-14 fret body size offers a slightly smaller, more comfortable feel than a full-size dreadnought while still providing ample projection and low-end presence. Paired with Martin’s PA Profile neck and High-Performance Taper, left handed players get an easy-playing, modern carve that feels fast and familiar, with a 1 3/4 inch nut width that gives your fretting hand plenty of room for clean chords and intricate fingerstyle work.
Retro-Inspired Aesthetic
A Dark Mahogany satin finish, faux tortoise pickguard and classic diamond-and-square short fingerboard inlays give the 000-10E Retro a timeless, workhorse look. Vintage-style nickel open gear tuners and a Brazilian rosewood HPL headplate with script logo complete the understated, old-school vibe, making this guitar look as inviting as it sounds.
Stage-Ready E1 Electronics
Equipped with E1 electronics, the 000-10E Retro is ready to plug in and perform. The onboard system captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character, making it easy to get a clear, musical sound through a PA or acoustic amp. A built-in tuner keeps you in tune on stage or in rehearsal, so you can focus on the performance rather than your pedalboard.
Features
- All-Solid Sapele Body - Solid sapele top, back and sides provide a warm, punchy and balanced tone that suits a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to strumming, and will continue to improve as the guitar ages.
- 000-14 Fret Body with Retro Styling - The comfortable 000 body size offers great projection without feeling bulky, while the Dark Mahogany satin finish, faux tortoise pickguard and vintage-style appointments deliver a classic, understated look.
- Performing Artist Neck with High-Performance Taper - A PA Profile neck with a 1 3/4 inch nut and High-Performance Taper gives left handed players a modern, fast-feeling neck that is ideal for both chord work and more intricate playing.
- E1 Electronics with Built-In Tuner - The E1 system lets you plug straight into an amp or PA with a clear, natural amplified sound, while the integrated tuner helps you stay perfectly in tune wherever you are playing.
