Comfortable feel that keeps you playing
The PA neck profile supports relaxed fretting, making the guitar easy to settle into whether you’re recording, rehearsing, or exploring new ideas. Its 1 3/4" nut width offers enough room for clean chord shapes and fingerstyle work without feeling wide. And because the neck finish is hand-applied, it stays smooth and predictable under your hand.
Warm, balanced tone for everyday use
With a solid sapele top, back, and sides, the 000-10E Retro Sapele has a warm midrange and focused projection that works well for both strumming and lighter playing. Scalloped X-bracing helps the top move freely, giving you a responsive feel across all strings. It’s a sound that adapts easily to different playing styles, making it a dependable daily acoustic.
Simple, stripped-back aesthetic
The satin finish, diamond-and-square fingerboard inlays, and vintage-style open-gear tuners give the guitar a clean, understated look. The faux tortoise pickguard complements the darker mahogany-toned top, while the select hardwood bridge and ebony pins add subtle detail without distraction.
Ready to plug in and take with you
The built-in Martin E1 electronics keep your amplified sound clear and functional, so you can take the guitar into rehearsals or small venues without extra setup. And with the included softshell case, the 000-10E Retro Sapele is prepared for regular travel, lessons, or writing sessions wherever you end up.
