Overview of the Martin & Co. D-13E Retro Walnut

The Martin D-13E Retro Walnut brings improved tone and timeless style to the Road Series. It features a solid spruce top and solid black walnut back and sides with a gloss finish, for rich sustain, deep bass, and clear, balanced tone. Walnut, also known as "Pennsylvania Rosewood," adds warmth and tonal complexity comparable to more traditional woods. The Dreadnought body and Scalloped X-Brace bracing ensure powerful projection and dynamic response, while the Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper provides smooth and comfortable playability across the entire fingerboard.
