Description

The Martin Road Series 0-10E Retro Special Electro Acoustic is a compact, all-solid workhorse that brings classic Martin character into a modern, gig-ready package. With its solid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides and scalloped X-bracing, it delivers a clear, balanced voice that responds beautifully to both fingerstyle and strumming. Comfortable, understated and fitted with E1 electronics, it is equally at home on the sofa, in the studio or on stage. This 0-size, 14-fret model offers a focused, punchy sound with plenty of midrange presence and crisp trebles, making it ideal for singer-songwriters and players who want their guitar to sit perfectly in a mix. The Performing Artist neck profile and shorter 24.9 inch scale length provide an easy, relaxed playing feel, while the satin finish and vintage-inspired appointments give it a timeless look that will never go out of style. Classic Martin Tone in a Compact Body The 0-10E Retro Special uses a solid spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides, supported by scalloped X-bracing. This tried-and-tested recipe produces a lively, articulate tone with strong mids, clear highs and a controlled low end that never gets boomy. The smaller 0-size body keeps the sound tight and focused, perfect for recording, ensemble playing or intimate solo performances. Comfortable Performing Artist Neck Featuring a Performing Artist (PA) profile neck carved from select hardwood, the 0-10E Retro Special is designed for long sessions without fatigue. The slightly wider 1 3/4 inch nut width and 24.9 inch scale length give your fretting hand a relaxed, open feel that suits both modern chord voicings and traditional fingerstyle, making it a versatile choice for developing and experienced players alike. Understated Retro Aesthetic A satin finish on the top, back and sides, combined with ageing toner on the spruce and simple black binding, gives this guitar a subtle, vintage-inspired appearance. Nickel open-gear tuners, Style 28 dot inlays and a faux tortoise pickguard complete the classic Martin look, so you get a guitar that feels familiar from day one and will age gracefully as you play it in. Stage Ready with E1 Electronics Equipped with E1 electronics, the 0-10E Retro Special is ready to plug in whenever you are. The onboard system offers a natural, transparent amplified sound that preserves the guitar’s acoustic character, along with practical controls and a built-in tuner to keep you in tune on stage or in rehearsal without needing extra gear. Key Features All-Solid Spruce and Sapele Construction – A solid spruce top with solid sapele back and sides delivers a clear, balanced tone with punchy mids and crisp trebles, giving you a responsive instrument that will open up and improve the more you play it. Comfortable 0-Size Body and PA Neck – The compact 0-14 fret body is easy to hold whether seated or standing, while the Performing Artist neck profile and 1 3/4 inch nut width provide a modern, comfortable feel that suits a wide range of playing styles. E1 Electronics with Built-In Tuner – The onboard E1 system lets you plug straight into an amp or PA with a clear, natural sound, and the integrated tuner helps you stay perfectly in tune without reaching for a separate pedal or clip-on. Retro-Inspired Styling – Satin finishes, ageing toner on the top, nickel open-gear tuners and Style 28 dot inlays give the 0-10E Retro Special a classic Martin aesthetic that looks as good on stage as it does in your living room.
