Here's the Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany, a no-nonsense acoustic-electric that bridges the best of vintage vibe and modern reliability. It's built with the working player in mind-whether you're playing weekly gigs or stepping up from a mid-level acoustic for the first time. This model takes cues from Martin's iconic 18-style dreadnoughts, but delivers that heritage in a more accessible, road-ready package. If you've been craving a guitar that sounds and feels like it's been yours for years, this one gets you there fast.
The torrefied solid spruce top gives you that broken-in warmth right out of the case; it's thermally aged for enhanced resonance and sustain. Paired with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped X bracing, it's got a strong midrange voice and clear note separation-great for strumming or fingerstyle. The onboard Martin E1 electronics make it easy to dial in your tone onstage, complete with a built-in tuner so you're not scrambling before a set.
Comfort-wise, the Performing Artist neck profile is one of the easiest to play that Martin offers. Add in the smooth ebony fingerboard and reliable build quality, and you've got a guitar that's as dependable as it is inspiring. We really like how this one sits right in that sweet spot-stage-ready, rich-sounding, and just a joy to play.
