A guitar built for the present with the soul of the past. The Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany blends classic craftsmanship with modern innovation, making it a perfect choice for players who crave vintage tone with contemporary playability. Inspired by Martin’s legendary 18-style models, this acoustic-electric dreadnought is built to deliver rich, resonant sound and timeless appeal. At its core, a torrefied solid spruce top undergoes a thermal aging process, resulting in enhanced resonance and a beautifully aged tone from the very first strum—giving you the feel of a well-loved guitar with the reliability of a brand-new instrument. For the first time, this premium feature is now available in the Road Series, making vintage-inspired tone more accessible than ever.

The solid mahogany back and sides, paired with scalloped spruce X-bracing, produce a balanced, warm tone with excellent projection. The Performing Artist neck profile and high-performance taper ensure effortless playability, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge add durability and elegance. With Martin E1 electronics, including a built-in tuner and tone controls, this guitar is gig-ready straight out of the case. Whether you're a touring musician or an acoustic enthusiast, the DE Retro Plus Mahogany is built to inspire for generations to come. Available now at Haggerty’s Music!
