Product Description

Vintage Soul, Modern Feel: The Martin 000E Retro Plus

Meet your new old friend. The Martin 000E Retro Plus Mahogany isn’t just another guitar; it’s a future heirloom that feels perfectly broken-in from the moment you open the case. Martin took inspiration from their legendary 18-style guitars and packed this 000-14 Fret body with features that were once reserved for their highest-end models. The result is a gig-ready workhorse that punches way above its weight class, delivering iconic Martin tone that’s ready for the stage or studio.

Torrefied Top: The Aged-In Secret Sauce

Real talk—the magic starts with the top. Martin uses a torrefied solid Spruce top, which is a special process of thermally aging the wood to replicate the cellular structure of a decades-old vintage guitar. This gives you incredible resonance and a dry, articulate, and beautifully seasoned sound from the very first strum. Paired with solid Mahogany back and sides and scalloped X-bracing, the tone is warm, balanced, and vibrant, with that classic Martin projection that cuts through any mix.

Effortless Playability, Stage-Ready Electronics

This guitar is built to be played. The High-Performance Taper neck with its comfortable PA Profile feels fast and familiar in your hand, making complex chords and long sessions a breeze. The smooth ebony fingerboard adds a touch of clarity and feels like glass under your fingertips. And when it’s time to plug in, the onboard LR Baggs Element electronics deliver a pure, natural amplification of the guitar’s acoustic voice, with simple volume and tone controls to dial in your sound on the fly. From the couch to the stage, this guitar is ready for anything.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Torrefaction is a wood aging process that gives the spruce top the cellular characteristics of a vintage guitar. Sonically, that translates to a quicker response, more resonance, and a beautifully ‘broken-in’ sound that’s dry, clear, and rich in harmonic complexity right from day one.

The Performing Artist (PA) profile is one of Martin’s most popular for a reason. It’s a slim, comfortable shape with a high-performance taper that feels modern and fast, without being too thin. It’s designed for playability, making it easy to move around the fretboard for any style of music.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
