Product Description
The Martin D-12E Retro takes everything players love about a Dreadnought—power, bass, and projection—and wraps it in vintage-inspired styling. With a gloss finish that enhances the beauty of its solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, it’s a bold yet refined instrument built to make a statement in both tone and looks.
Spruce brings its trademark articulation and versatility, while sapele adds a warm midrange and punch that balance out the guitar’s strong low end. Scalloped X-bracing makes the top more dynamic, ensuring the guitar responds well whether you’re strumming hard, flatpicking, or playing with a delicate touch. The result is a Dreadnought voice that’s full, powerful, and adaptable.
Style 18-inspired details—including old-style dot inlays, a multi-stripe rosette, and nickel open gear tuners with butterbean knobs—connect this guitar to Martin’s long tradition, while the body’s gloss finish elevates its aesthetic. The Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper provides smooth, modern playability, and the 25.4" scale length adds tension for clarity and projection, keeping notes clean and defined.
Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the D-12E Retro is designed to go the distance. Its powerful voice and vintage-inspired style reflect Martin tradition, while its modern playability keeps it accessible to all. Whether strumming onstage or practicing at home, it responds with strength and clarity every time. This is your road to bold Martin sound—crafted for performance and built to last.
