Martin D-10E Road Series Retro Dreadnought in Spruce/Sapele in Soft Shell Case

Introducing the new 'refreshed' Road Series by Martin - these look incredible.

The Martin D-10E Retro is a time-tested tool designed for players who need projection, power, and reliability. With its Dreadnought body, it delivers the kind of bold, full-range tone that has defined generations of Martin players. Whether you’re strumming chords to fill a room or laying down rhythm in a mix, this guitar offers the volume and bass response to carry your sound further.

Built with a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, the D-10E Retro combines the crisp articulation of spruce with the warm, midrange punch of sapele. Sapele, often compared to mahogany, provides a dry, woody character that keeps the low end tight while letting trebles shine through. Paired with scalloped X-bracing, the top becomes more dynamic and responsive, giving the instrument a wide tonal palette that’s equally at home in the studio or on stage.

Design details nod to Martin’s classic heritage while keeping things practical and modern. The satin finish gives the guitar a workhorse aesthetic, while black binding and vintage-style open gear tuners add a touch of retro flair. The Performing Artist neck profile with high-performance taper ensures a smooth, comfortable playing experience, whether you’re chording in the first position or moving quickly up the neck.

With Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the D-10E Retro is ready for practice, studio, or stage. Its bold projection and clear tone make it an ideal partner for strummers and performers alike. Combining classic Martin heritage with modern comfort, it’s a Dreadnought built to travel as far as your music will take it. This is your road to iconic Martin sound and dependable performance.
