Vintage Vibe, Modern Playability

Meet the Martin 000-10E Retro—a guitar that delivers that classic, time-tested Martin tone with the comfort and playability modern musicians demand. It's built around the supremely comfortable 000-14 Fret body size, making it a perfect fit for just about any player. The solid Spruce top, treated with an aging toner for a vintage look, is the engine of this guitar's sound, providing clarity, punch, and dynamic headroom. Paired with solid Sapele back and sides, you get a voice that's balanced, warm, and focused—perfect for cutting through a mix without getting boomy.

The Heart of the Tone

Beneath the hood, Martin's scalloped X-bracing allows the top to resonate freely, creating a responsive feel that blooms with every note. Whether you're a delicate fingerpicker or a moderate strummer, the 000-10E Retro captures the nuance in your playing. The Sapele body contributes a strong midrange character, often compared to mahogany, ensuring your sound is always present and articulate. It’s a tonal recipe that has been loved for generations, and for good reason.

Effortless Playability

Martin knows a great guitar has to feel as good as it sounds. The select hardwood neck features their popular Performing Artist (PA) profile with a High-Performance Taper—a combination designed for speed and comfort. Combined with a shorter 24.9" scale length, string tension is slightly reduced, making bends feel buttery and long playing sessions a breeze. The hand-applied finish ensures the neck feels smooth and broken-in from the very first chord.

Stage-Ready Electronics

When you're ready to plug in, the onboard Martin E1 electronics deliver a clear, natural-sounding amplification of the guitar's acoustic voice. The system includes a built-in chromatic tuner, volume, and tone controls, making it easy to dial in your sound on any stage. It's a reliable, no-fuss electronic system that makes the 000-10E Retro a true workhorse for the gigging musician.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
