The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell is a signature electro-acoustic guitar that channels the spirit and tone of pre-war Martins, inspired by the 1940 0-17 used by the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter on his album Foxes in the Snow. This 0 14-fret model features a satin-finished solid mahogany body, delivering a warm, focused tone with clear trebles and a strong midrange punch. Its scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances responsiveness and balance, while the shorter 24.9″ scale length offers a softer, more relaxed playing feel, making it perfect for fingerpicking, strumming, and songwriting.

Designed with input from Jason Isbell himself, the guitar’s select hardwood neck is carved with Martin’s Performing Artist profile and high-performance taper, providing a modern, comfortable grip and smooth fretboard movement. The East Indian rosewood fingerboard and modern straightline bridge add both beauty and depth to the design, complemented by classic 17-style inlays and a single-ring fibre rosette. Equipped with Martin’s E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, this guitar is ready for the stage and studio alike.

Strung with Martin’s custom Era Artist Light strings developed in collaboration with Jason Isbell, the 0-10E Retro offers players a road-ready instrument that combines signature tone, style, and authenticity at an accessible price point. Whether you’re chasing your next great song or seeking an honest, heartfelt sound, this guitar is built to inspire and perform.

Key Features

  • Warm Mahogany Body – The solid mahogany top, back, and sides provide a rich, warm tone with focused mids and clear trebles, ideal for delivering the intimate, vintage-inspired sound that Jason Isbell favours. The satin finish enhances the natural resonance for a smooth, balanced voice.
  • Responsive Scalloped Spruce Bracing – The scalloped X-bracing crafted from spruce adds enhanced responsiveness and tonal balance, allowing the guitar to breathe and react dynamically to your playing style, whether gentle fingerpicking or vigorous strumming.
  • Comfortable Performing Artist Neck – Featuring Martin’s Performing Artist profile and high-performance taper, the select hardwood neck offers a modern, comfortable feel with easy playability across the 20-fret fingerboard, making it a pleasure to play for extended sessions.
  • Martin E1 Electronics with Built-In Tuner – The integrated Martin E1 pickup system delivers natural amplified tone with clarity and warmth, while the built-in tuner ensures quick, accurate tuning for live performances and recording sessions.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.
