Description
The Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany combines classic aesthetics with the warm, broken-in character of a vintage instrument. Its torrefied solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and scalloped spruce X-bracing deliver strong projection, warm mids, crisp highs, and a balanced Dreadnought voice. A Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper, ebony fingerboard, and ebony bridge provide comfortable, dependable playability. LR Baggs Element electronics and an included Martin softshell gig bag make it ready for home, studio, or stage.
