Product Description
The Martin D-10E Left Handed Retro Series Electro Acoustic is a no-nonsense workhorse built for players who need big projection, reliable performance and classic Martin character in a left handed package. With its full-size Dreadnought body, solid tonewoods and stage ready electronics, it is made to handle everything from solo acoustic gigs to band settings where you need your rhythm parts to cut through.
Combining a solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides, the D-10E Retro delivers a bold, balanced voice with plenty of low end power and clear, singing trebles. Scalloped X-bracing keeps the top lively and responsive, so the guitar reacts to every nuance of your playing, whether you are digging in with a heavy strum or backing off for more delicate passages. Add in a comfortable Performing Artist neck and practical retro styling, and you have a left handed Dreadnought that is ready to go wherever your music takes you.
Classic Dreadnought Power
The D-10E Retro is built around Martin’s iconic Dreadnought body shape, giving you the projection and headroom that have defined countless recordings and performances. The large body moves plenty of air, producing a strong, punchy low end and a wide, open midrange that is ideal for strummers and singer songwriters who need their acoustic to fill space with ease.
Solid Spruce and Sapele Tonewoods
A solid spruce top provides crisp articulation and dynamic range, responding beautifully to both light fingerstyle and aggressive rhythm work. Solid sapele back and sides add a warm, woody midrange with a focused low end that stays tight rather than boomy. Often compared to mahogany, sapele gives the guitar a dry, rootsy character that works brilliantly for folk, rock, country and beyond.
Responsive Scalloped Bracing
Scalloped X-bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, increasing volume and sensitivity while keeping the sound controlled and musical. This extra responsiveness means the D-10E Retro feels alive under your hands, rewarding subtle dynamics and making it easier to sit perfectly in a mix, whether you are recording or playing live.
Comfortable Left Handed Playability
The Performing Artist neck profile with high performance taper offers a modern, fast feel that stays comfortable over long sessions. Chords in the first position feel natural and relaxed, while the slim taper makes it easy to move up the neck for lead lines and more complex voicings. As a dedicated left handed model, everything is laid out intuitively for southpaw players, with no compromises.
Retro Inspired Aesthetic
A satin finish gives the D-10E Retro a subtle, workhorse look that will age gracefully as you play it. Black binding and vintage style open gear tuners add a tasteful nod to classic Martin designs, giving the guitar a timeless visual appeal that matches its versatile sound.
Stage Ready Electronics
Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, the D-10E Retro is ready to plug in whenever you are. The system is voiced to capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character, so your amplified tone remains clear and authentic. A built in tuner keeps you on pitch without the need for extra gear, making this an ideal partner for rehearsals, gigs and studio sessions alike.
Features
- Left Handed Dreadnought Design - A full size Dreadnought body tailored for left handed players delivers the classic Martin feel and projection, giving southpaw guitarists the same powerful, room filling tone that has made this shape a standard for decades.
- Solid Spruce Top with Solid Sapele Back and Sides - The combination of a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides provides a rich, balanced voice with strong lows, clear highs and a warm, woody midrange, making the guitar versatile enough for many styles.
- Scalloped X-Bracing for Enhanced Response - Scalloped X-bracing keeps the top light and responsive, increasing volume and dynamic range so your playing feels more expressive, from gentle fingerpicking to hard strumming.
- Martin E1 Electronics with Built In Tuner - Onboard Martin E1 electronics let you plug straight into an amp or PA with a clear, natural amplified sound, while the integrated tuner helps you stay in tune quickly and discreetly on stage.
