Martin D-10E Retro Sapele

The Martin D-10E Retro Sapele is a stage-ready dreadnought built for players who need strong projection, clear tone, and dependable performance. With a solid sapele top, back, and sides, it delivers a warm, balanced voice with focused mids and a punchy low end—ideal for strumming, flatpicking, and singer-songwriter styles. Scalloped X-bracing enhances responsiveness, giving this model impressive volume and a wide dynamic range.

A satin finish, select hardwood fingerboard, diamond-and-square inlays, and vintage-style open-gear tuners evoke a clean, classic Style 15 aesthetic. Modern comfort comes from the Performing Artist neck profile, along with a built-in tuner and Martin E1 electronics that make it easy to transition from home to studio to stage. Included softshell case ensures it’s ready to travel wherever your music leads.
