The Martin D-12E Retro captures the heart of classic dreadnought tone with a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides that produce a bold, balanced voice full of warmth and depth. Scalloped X-bracing enhances clarity and responsiveness, while the body's gloss finish brings a rich visual appeal that highlights its timeless craftsmanship. Vintage-inspired details such as old-style dot inlays, an aging toner on top, and nickel open-gear tuners nod to Martin’s storied heritage of acoustic excellence.

A Performing Artist neck with a high-performance taper offers smooth, modern playability, making this guitar as comfortable to play as it is beautiful to hear. Outfitted with Martin’s E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, the D-12E Retro transitions seamlessly from studio to stage with reliable tone and projection. Complete with a softshell case, it’s a perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and playability—available now at Haggerty’s Music.
