Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany Dreadnought Acoustic/Electric Guitar

This brand new Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany blends classic Martin DNA with modern refinement, delivering a guitar that feels familiar from the very first chord while offering the reliability and performance today’s players expect.

Inspired by Martin’s iconic 18-style dreadnoughts, this model pairs a thermally aged (torrefied) solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for a tone that’s rich, open, and remarkably broken-in right out of the case. The torrefaction process enhances resonance and response, giving this guitar the warmth and depth typically associated with well-loved vintage instruments.

Scalloped spruce X-bracing provides strong projection and dynamic range, while the Performing Artist neck profile with a high-performance taper offers a comfortable, fast feel across the fretboard. An ebony fingerboard and bridge add clarity, sustain, and a premium touch to the overall playing experience.

Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, this guitar is ready for the stage or studio, featuring onboard tone controls and a built-in tuner to easily dial in your sound when plugged in. Whether you’re looking for a dependable gigging acoustic-electric or a serious step into high-quality Martin craftsmanship, the DE Retro Plus Mahogany delivers exceptional value and unmistakable tone.
