Description
The Martin 000E Retro Plus Granadillo delivers vintage Martin tone without the vintage price or decades-long wait. Torrefied solid spruce top is thermally aged to sound like a well-played guitar from day one—open, responsive, and mature. Solid granadillo back and sides provide rich sustain, sparkling highs, and balanced bass. Style 28-inspired appointments honor Martin's golden era while LR Baggs Element electronics make this guitar stage-ready immediately.
The 000 (auditorium) body balances projection with comfort—smaller than a dreadnought but fuller than a concert size. Perfect for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone who finds dreadnoughts physically unwieldy. Delivers clear note separation and balanced tone across all six strings without overwhelming bass.
Torrefaction is controlled heat-aging that alters wood's cellular structure, replicating decades of natural playing and opening. Result: a top that responds like a vintage instrument immediately—no stiff new-guitar harshness, no years of break-in required. The tone you'd normally wait 20+ years to achieve, available from day one.
Factory-installed LR Baggs Element pickup system provides natural amplified tone for stage, studio, and worship use. Built-in tuner keeps you performance-ready. No aftermarket pickup installation needed.
