The Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany proves that a great guitar doesn't have to wait decades to sound like an old favorite. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this Road Series Dreadnought blends Martin's legendary craftsmanship with modern innovations that deliver the warmth, openness, and responsiveness players usually associate with a well-loved vintage instrument. Inspired by Martin's iconic Style 18 models, it offers timeless aesthetics alongside performance features designed for today's working musicians.

At the heart of the DE Retro Plus Mahogany is a torrefied solid spruce top finished in Aging Toner, a premium feature previously reserved for Martin's Authentic and Modern Deluxe lines. The thermal-aging process gives the top the resonance and broken-in character of an older guitar from the very first chord. Paired with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped spruce X-bracing, the result is a bold, balanced voice with exceptional projection, warm mids, crisp trebles, and the unmistakable punch that has made the Martin Dreadnought a benchmark for generations of players.

Built for both the stage and everyday inspiration, the DE Retro Plus Mahogany features a comfortable Performing Artist neck with a High-Performance Taper, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and dependable LR Baggs Element electronics with discreet volume and tone controls. Whether you're writing songs at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, this guitar delivers authentic Martin tone with effortless playability. A Martin softshell gig bag is included, making this versatile Road Series model ready to accompany you wherever the music leads.
