Description

The Martin 000-12E Retro blends time-honored design with dependable modern performance in a comfortably sized body. Its 000 shape produces a smooth, well-balanced tone across all six strings, making it a great choice for fingerstyle players, vocal accompanists, and anyone who values articulation and nuance.

Built with a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, this model combines bright, responsive highs with warm, focused mids. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection, helping the guitar speak clearly whether you’re practicing at home or performing live. A 24.9" scale length provides a slightly looser string tension, offering a relaxed feel that makes bends, intricate passages, and extended sessions easier on the hands.

Aesthetically, the 000-12E Retro draws inspiration from Martin’s classic Style 18 look. Vintage-style dot inlays, a multi-stripe rosette, and nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs create an understated, old-school vibe. The gloss finish adds depth and protection, while the Performing Artist neck profile with high-performance taper ensures smooth playability up and down the fretboard.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and an onboard tuner, this guitar is ready for the stage, studio, or songwriting sessions. A softshell case is included for added convenience and protection. Combining heritage-inspired details with modern comfort and reliability, the 000-12E Retro offers the signature Martin sound in a versatile, player-friendly package designed to evolve with your music.
