<p>The Martin 000-12E Retro delivers classic style, balanced tone, and proven performance—all wrapped in a full-body gloss finish that adds rich visual depth to its solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing enhances clarity, volume, and responsiveness, while the Performing Artist neck profile with high-performance taper ensures smooth, modern playability across the fingerboard. Old-style dot inlays, a multi-stripe rosette, and nickel open gear tuners with butterbean knobs nod to Martin’s Style 18 roots. With versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, this Road Series model is ready to go wherever your playing takes you—and to stick with you for the long haul.</p> <p><strong>Features</strong></p> <p><strong>Highlights</strong></p> <ul> <li>000-14 Fret body size</li> <li>Sapele back and sides</li> <li>Spruce top with Aging Toner top color</li> <li>PA Profile neck with High-Performance Taper</li> <li>1 3/4'' fingerboard width at nut</li> <li>Softshell case</li> </ul> <p><strong>Top</strong></p> <ul> <li>Top Material : Spruce</li> <li>Finish Top : Gloss</li> <li>Top Color : Aging Toner</li> <li>Top Inlay Material : Multi-Stripe</li> <li>Top Detail : None</li> <li>Binding : Black</li> <li>Bridge Material : Ebony</li> <li>Bridge Style : Modern Belly</li> <li>Bridge String Spacing : 2 5/32"</li> <li>Bridge Pin Material : White Plastic</li> <li>Bridge Pin Dots : Black</li> <li>Pickguard : Faux Tortoise</li> <li>Pickguard Inlay : None</li> <li>Rosette : Old Style 18 Boltaron</li> <li>Saddle : White TUSQ</li> <li>Saddle Radius : 16"</li> </ul> <p><strong>Body</strong></p> <ul> <li>Body Size : 000-14 Fret</li> <li>Construction : Mortise &amp; Tenon Neck Joint</li> <li>Back Material : Sapele</li> <li>Side Material : Sapele</li> <li>Back and Side Finish : Gloss</li> <li>Back and Sides Color : Dark Mahogany</li> <li>Back Detail : None</li> <li>Side Detail : None</li> <li>Back Purfling/Strip : None</li> <li>Back Inlay Material : None</li> <li>Side Inlay Material : None</li> <li>Bracing Pattern : X-Brace</li> <li>Brace Shape : Scalloped</li> <li>Brace Material : Spruce</li> <li>Brace Size : 5/16"</li> <li>Endpiece : None</li> <li>Endpiece Inlay : None</li> </ul> <p><strong>Neck</strong></p> <ul> <li>Neck Shape : PA Profile</li> <li>Neck Taper : High-Performance Taper</li> <li>Neck Material : Select Hardwood</li> <li>Neck Color : Natural</li> <li>Finish Neck : Hand-Applied</li> <li>Scale Length : 24.9"</li> <li>Number of Frets Total : 20</li> <li>Neck Joins Body At : 14th Fret</li> <li>Heelcap : Black</li> <li>Fingerboard Material : Ebony</li> <li>Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret : 2 1/8''</li> <li>Fingerboard Width at Nut : 1 3/4''</li> <li>Fingerboard Inlay Style : Old Style 18</li> <li>Fingerboard Inlay Material : Faux Mother-of-Pearl</li> <li>Fingerboard Binding Material : None</li> <li>Side Dots : White</li> </ul> <p><strong>Headstock</strong></p> <ul> <li>Headstock Shape : Solid</li> <li>Headplate Material : Brazilian Rosewood HPL</li> <li>Headplate Logo Style : Script Ink</li> <li>Headplate Binding Material : None</li> <li>Tuning Machines : Nickel Open Gear</li> <li>Knob : Butterbean</li> <li>Nut Material : White Corian</li> </ul> <p><strong>Misc</strong></p> <ul> <li>Case : Softshell</li> <li>Label : Paper Label</li> <li>Electronics : Yes</li> <li>Electronics Options : Martin E1</li> <li>Left Handed Availability : true</li> <li>Pleked : true</li> </ul> <p><strong>What's Included</strong></p> <p><strong>000-12E Retro</strong></p> <ul> <li>Road Series, 000-14 Fret, Acoustic Electric</li> </ul> <p><strong>Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - Light</strong></p> <ul> <li>Pre-strung on instrument</li> </ul> <p><strong>Softshell Case</strong></p> <ul> <li>Waterproof, Backpack straps, Internal padding protection</li> </ul>
