DETAILS
Introducing the new 'refreshed' Road Series by Martin - these look incredible.
The Martin D-10E Retro Sapele offers the same bold projection as its Dreadnought siblings but with an all-sapele body that changes the tonal recipe. Crafted with a solid sapele top, back, and sides, this Dreadnought is ideal for players who want a guitar with warm midrange, strong bass, and a focused, balanced sound that doesn’t overpower.
Sapele’s tonal qualities give this model a distinct personality. Its high density and stiffness produce a clear, punchy voice with bright trebles and a warm, earthy midrange. Over time, sapele grows even warmer, with enhanced bass response that gives the guitar a matured, played-in quality. Combined with scalloped X-bracing, this makes the D-10E Retro Sapele versatile enough for heavy strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle work.
The stripped-down aesthetic embraces classic Martin tradition. A satin finish highlights the natural grain of the sapele, while diamond-and-square inlays on a select hardwood fingerboard nod to the vintage Style 15 lineage. Vintage-style open gear tuners provide reliable tuning stability while reinforcing the retro vibe. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper adds a modern playability edge, keeping the guitar comfortable for long sessions.
Outfitted with Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the D-10E Retro Sapele offers a warm, punchy voice in a stripped-down package. Its straightforward design matches its reliable character, always ready to support your playing. With projection that fills the room and a voice that matures beautifully over time, it’s built to go where you go. This is your road to bold tone and lasting dependability.
