Overview of the Martin & Co. DE Retro Plus Mahogany

Inspired by our legendary flagship models, this acoustic-electric Dreadnought combines powerful tone and iconic design with cutting-edge craftsmanship. The solid roasted spruce top is thermally aged for enhanced resonance and a beautifully seasoned sound, offering the rich, broken-in tone of a vintage instrument from the very first strum. This is the same premium feature long reserved for our Authentic and Modern Deluxe series, now available for the first time in the Road Series. With solid mahogany back and sides, scalloped X-bracing, a Performing Artist neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge, this guitar has everything you could want in an acoustic. It's also stage-ready with Martin E1 electronics, featuring a built-in tuner and controls for dialing in the perfect live tone. Ideal as a gigging workhorse or a first step into a quality acoustic, this guitar offers best-in-class quality at an unbeatable value for discerning musicians, and a lifetime of inspiration for anyone who picks it up. But beware: you won't be able to put it down, because nothing compares to a Martin.
